Or go for the 2e reference and use Judge Gabberslug from Planescape :D

There's a time and a place for humor and whimsy in a campaign. There's also a line at which point it just comes across as out of place, poorly conceived, and gauche. You can do it right (Pathfinder goblins for instance), but comedy in D&D often very much overdoes it and does it in places where...

Time didn't flow on the Astral, or at least the negative effects of time (though they retroactively caught up with you if you left the plane without magical protection to stop it). But time outside of the Astral was still marching on at its own pace regardless.

Planescape did its level best to try to keep Tiamat and Takhisis distinct from one another. Without going back and looking specifically, I'm pretty sure that 'On Hallowed Ground' and 'Planes of Law' both make it clear that while mortals have confused them for one another, they're different...

I wouldn't place a ton of trust in the FR wiki unless the wiki itself sources information to a published book. There was an image of a Pathfinder astradaemon in place for around a year and a half being used as the sample illustration for a baernaloth before it was changed. On top of that, the FR...

The rumor I've seen on twitter and FB mentioned that it primarily hit the DnD group. But I haven't seen any confirmation or details.

Inusalia is similar to Shemeska only in that they're both (nominally) female, they're both evil, and they're both extremely intelligent. Shemeska as an arcanaloth with added sorcerer levels, and Inusalia as a meladaemon with alchemist levels. But Shemeska has a level of self control that...

I'm still waiting for some actual, classic Planescape/2e/3e style tieflings. I also don't exactly trust that anyone not on drugs has provided positive feedback for Dragon+

I've always imaged her voiced by Famke Janssen (from the 1999 remake of 'House on Haunted Hill'). I've never really settled on a voice actor for Vorkannis to be honest, but Mr Morden isn't a bad one (even if the 'big question' similarity was unintentional). I love comments on the Storyhour. I...

Thank you so much :) And yes, cthulhu/Lovecraftian/Far Realm material in this storyhour. That sort of thing (and the "mad bleakers" Tollysalmon, Esmus, and Lhar) is a major focus of Storyhour #2, but it's here lurking around woven into parts of the plot (a story I wrote years ago, 'For there is...

4e seems to have based the homogenous 4e tiefling appearance on artwork of the iconic tiefling character that appeared in the very late 3.x 'Age of Worms' AP in Dungeon magazine. The 5e tiefling being almost exactly the same as in 4e and now exclusively devil-blooded by default seems to be...

Since the events of my story from 2005, 'The Dreamer and the Fiend' have been mentioned recently as indeed being set within the continuity of this Storyhour, I've decided to upload the text of that story somewhere that isn't going to vanish (as the WotC forum produced fanzine 'Knowledge Arcana'...

Alex sat in the ruddy darkness of his prison cell on the third level of a particularly secure and dour section of Duke Melikaros’ manor. Normally the place existed as less of a jail and more of a temporary holding cell for the torture of political prisoners prior to their being transferred into...

Just so everyone is aware, updates to the storyhour are slow at the moment as I deal with a death in the immediate family. I've got material written that just needs to be polished a bit before going up here, but writing stuff involving fiends at the moment is a little bit much for me given the...

Really nicely researched. I find the 2000-present grouping rather odd, since the 2000-2008 3.x inner planes retained the Great Wheel continuity. The 4e Elemental Chaos was a significant disjuncture from continuity prior to that point and it just strikes me as off to include that thematic outlier...

The black and towering Gothic spires of Maladomini soared overhead, darkening a sky already overcast with soot-laden storm clouds. Every structure seemed to be in a perpetual state of construction, elaboration, and elevation as each sought to compete with the next and all its fellow kindred in...

It's the best known setting, but since 2008 I'm not sure if the FR fan base is nearly as healthy or enthusiastic as it was prior to then, with the tone and reception on Candle keep as an indicator (plus the severe slowdown on novels and no obvious plans for a FR campaign setting).

If I'm playing in any of the campaign settings that have traditionally been part of the Great Wheel cosmology, than yes, I play with them all within the same multiverse. So Greyhawk, FR, Dark Sun, Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Planescape, etc. I don't use Eberron within the Great Wheel since from the...
