    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    I have a habit of commissioning artwork of NPCs in campaigns that I run. I've got a few tiefling images (Nisha etc) out there, and some more recent characters from my current Pathfinder campaign as well.

    *ponder* I never really did things in discrete arcs, and there were often lots of side things going on at once. The world moves along with or without the PCs, and what they choose to interact with they have the most influence on potentially. So some things are obvious plot arcs, and then...

    Have I ever mentioned that you're awesome? You're awesome.

    They had a database crash of some sort. Everything is saved, but it may be a while yet before the site is back up since the webmaster is seriously busy at the moment. But it's in the works. Meladaemons aren't a Planescape thing, they're just within the Pathfinder universe. I've written a lot...

    Harishek - time/probability manipulation The Chronicler - interacted with quite a bit, but never in combat. He seemed to have a pretty crazy foresight ability though it was more a case of calculating possible futures and acting accordingly to make them happen more so than time manipulation like...

    All of them have previously appeared in stories* of their own or in the storyhour (and they'll show up again), with the exception being Chorazin. He/She/It hasn't appeared yet other then being mentioned by name. *all of which were hosted on Planewalker

    1) If stats apply for them / if the PCs might interact with them in the context of rolling for initiative yes. It might be ridiculously dumb for them to do so, but if they so choose to attempt to sucker punch an archfiend, I'll have numbers for that archfiend. 2) It depends on the creature in...

    Colcook frowned inwardly as he adjusted the mirror. It wasn’t heavy, but he’d been holding it up for more than two hours. Frankly, despite his supreme talents –in his opinion, wasted on Sigil at times– it was impossible to hold it at the precise angle necessary for someone moving about when you...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Tieflings and Dragonborn

    Wow, you seem to really not like aasimar :uhoh: Ok then. Sample bias obviously, but I've seen roughly an equivalent number of aasimar and tiefling characters played in Pathfinder Society. And I'm not sure that "symmetry" has much of anything to do with including both tieflings and aasimars...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls did an interview for Escapist Magazine and reveals PHB classes, races, and much more

    No, Tiamat is very well known in the Realms. However she has never been imprisoned in Hell/Baator, so I'm not sure where that came from. Edit: Just to clarify. Tiamat has dwelled in the 9 Hells, with her domain at the gate between Avernus and Dis, but she has never been imprisoned or kept there...

    She hasn't fallen far (NG to N). It'll be a while before she realizes it herself, and how she finds out is amusing. None of my players trust -any- fiend at this point. :D And the next update is written. Will be posted on Saturday.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Tieflings and Dragonborn

    The difference between the 2e and 3e tieflings and the 4e "tieflings" is so radically divergent that I'll be honest, I don't really see the 4e as being the same race except in name. While I'm not completely averse to the 4e creatures sticking around as a possible subtype, IMO it would be a...

    The obsidian dagger was the one used on the tiere/gautiere deity, while the +5 Returning Dagger of Unholy Power was just something that Leobtav had tucked into his belt. The BoVD was released relatively in the timeframe of this particular campaign arc, so while much of the "vile evil" I found a...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    Devoid of its imprisoned god, the Cathedral of the Chained God and the surrounding domain continued along an inevitable death spiral towards something between implosion and dissolution. By the time it vanished into the trackless hinterlands vistas of the Outlands, the party was miles away...

    D&D 4E The Best of 4e's Fluff

    Fwiw, Lolth being a fallen goddess of fate and the weaver motif have been a detailed part of her lore since 2e, it isn't new to 4e. While I'm not a big fan of the edition's embedded fluff insomuch as it overwrote prior material, the approach used in the two Monster Vault books for presenting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Archsuccubi

    I'm not sure that it would be wise to reinvent the succubus a second time. It didn't exactly go over well last time they tried to change things with three editions of development, especially when some fiends changed to opposite alignment, some monsters radically changed appearance and back...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much 5e do you plan to get?

    Too early for me to say. There's nothing at this point that's a hard limit to keep me from eventually picking it up casually (how they handle the radical 4e changes to tieflings, eladrin, and other planar concepts is something that will really determine any future interest). But at the moment, I...
