    Monstrous Races in Sigil - Which Ones?

    The creatures from Chapter 2 of the Planewalker.com releases would be the most common in Sigil, I think, if only because they're the most iconic. Here's a non-racially specific table originally from J. Wright's now-defunct website: The racial encounter table would be something like this, on...

    Prepping Planescape III

    That's been done officially - the Free League was written up that way in Complete Scoundrel. They did an excellent job, too.

    Prepping Planescape III

    The overview's quite lovely to look at. Any particular reason for the extra 'A' in the Slags?

    Monstrous Races in Sigil - Which Ones?

    All of them, with almost no exceptions. There should be Brobdignagian neighborhoods full of giants, as Ken Marable suggested, as well as Liliputian ones full of tiny creatures. Sigil is the gateway to a thousand worlds and planes, and there's no reason to put any restrictions on what can be...

    Orcus "Last Word"

    The Book of the Righteous has a myth where the Creator spoke his own name at the beginning of time, and will speak it again at the end of time, so that the universe will end. That's what I think the Last Word is.

    Orcus "Last Word"

    That was Monte Cook's intention, according to his email to the Planescape Mailing List before the book was published. I can't find it now, but it was something like, "For those interested in the Last Word, I elaborate on the subject in the upcoming Vecna Reborn."

    Cities of the Planes

    Though it's really not much of one yet. Thus far, I think it only has portals to the city of Mitrik in Veluna, the World Serpent Inn, and the demiplane of Tol-Kan-Zeeb (described in the November 1988 Dragon Magazine, this isn't the proper name of the demiplane, but of the djinni mage who created...

    about errtu and the other guys..

    Wendonai is described and statted in Lost Empires of Faerun, page 54. He's a balor with six levels in the Fiend of Corruption prestige class (Fiend Folio). Errtu was described and statted in the 2e Villain's Lorebook, which you can download here for free (though it's barely worth the effort)...

    The Dukes of Hell

    Yes, in the passage you quote above:

    Slideshow from D&D XP

    Presumedly they'll see it at the bookstore. It may not be shelved in the D&D section.

    The Dukes of Hell

    FC2 didn't "get" that Martinet isn't a pit fiend anymore. I wonder if there's a new pit fiend doing his old job?

    Fiendish Codex II Web Enhancement

    The book mentions numerous nobles in every layer (and FC1 does the same). How do these not count as "middle ranks?"

    The Lords of the Nine Hells

    It might well have been an aspect. Even if was Moloch's true form, he would have eventually respawned in Baator, whether killed by the PCs or by the death of a world.

    The Lords of the Nine Hells

    In the timeline above, I added some stuff from the latest Dragon Magazine: demiplanes, archomentals, keepers, and Malcanthet. Also, some draedens for Shade. I wouldn't add it to Wikipedia, though; while it's all based on official materials, there's more than a little speculation on my part as...

    Running Dead Gods & involving the Book of Vile Darkness

    Ways to destroy one or more evil artifacts: - Bathe it in the Positive Energy Plane for a hundred years (you'll have to get a lumi or something to guard it in the meantime) - Soak it in Bahamut's blood (killing Bahamut is only half the fun) - Expose the item(s) to the Last Word - Convince...

    Running Dead Gods & involving the Book of Vile Darkness

    In Dead Gods, a book that contains the secrets of bringing dead gods to life would be desired greatly by Quah-Namog, and would likely be integral to his attempt at resurrecting Orcus. The last chapter of the story, where Quah-Namog assembles all of his equipment on his master's corpse in the...

    Running Dead Gods & involving the Book of Vile Darkness

    The history of the Book of Vile Darkness is in the rulebook of the same name (by Monte Cook), page 14. The original Book of Vile Darkness was a scroll penned by a wizard of the Vasharan race millennia ago. It was only a few thousand words long. This kernel was added to and improved upon by a...

    What would you guard a gate to the Abyss with?

    Bind the gate to a sapphire, build the sapphire into your throne, and recruit an army of paladins called the Sapphire Guard to ostensibly guard you - but in reality, they're guarding the sapphire. Just no one knows that but a few high-level paladins sworn to secrecy. Simple. Absolutely nothing...

    Slideshow from D&D XP

    Aimed at non-D&D players... Weird! So it's basically just a coffee-table book with pretty pictures of dungeons in it. I wouldn't have thought there was a huge market for that. Pictures of dragons and elves, yes - but subterranean corridors? I guess it's for people who remember old 1e modules...

    Planescape at D&D eXperience

    Your post seems a little bit like someone saying they can't wrap their heads around the idea of a Forgotten Realms adventure that's not about killing Elminster. Sure, that'd probably be an insanely great adventure, but it's not the only adventure the world has to offer. I'm sure there will be...
