    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    The grey-green clouds that hung low above the Park of the Infernal and the Divine reflected all too well the current atmosphere in Sigil at large and among the minds of its council members and voting, land-holding citizens alike. The City of Doors had been rocked by dozens of Cagequakes over the...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    One hour after peak was early for Clueless to be both in bed and asleep. Rather than sleeping, his time was more often spent drinking or bartending, carrying on conversations with dozens of late night regulars at the Jammer or his own companions up late. More than that, the fey-blooded...

    Well, they're likely to make your skin crawl in this next update which will be mildly NSFW.

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    The plot is complex and this story has been going on for... I've actually lost track of how many pages in Word it comes out to at this point. But the storyhour here has been going on for over a decade, so there's that. My players ended up making a giant flowchart to connect everything (and...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    “A dead woman?” Clueless raised an eyebrow as he looked down at his friend, most recently a corpse himself. The immediate and breathless description didn’t provide enough details to actually answer who’d actually killed him. The fact that they’d managed the deed however was beyond troubling...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    That the fire was something other than an accident -a stray ember carried on the wind, or the collapse of a shelf holding a candle- was immediately obvious as Fyrehowl pulled upon the heavy brass handle of the building’s front pair of doors. A single pull fueled by urgent worry should have...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    Not to my knowledge no. The hardcover 'Book of the Damned' is not listed among the PFS additional resources. Additionally you can't play evil characters in PFS, and I cannot fathom a non-evil character performing Folca's obedience and thus gaining any of the associated mechanical boons. So no...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    As the author of the material in question let me just state that while I did not create Folca originally (I don't know who on staff created them to add to the appendix in the back of BotD 3 which I wrote the entirety of) I was contracted the write the flavor text for all of the daemonic...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    And since I apparently have some jackass who copy and pasted the first entry of my storyhour on their Facebook page and claimed it as their own work, just saying here that I, Todd Stewart, am the author of this work of fiction.

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    **** The soft and intimately regular hum of distant, tectonic clockwork ran through the fingertips of Factol Nacius Garabutos of the Fraternity of Order as she placed a book back in its proper, organized location and then braced herself on the wall as she descended a ladder and back to her...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    I'll try to have one by early next week. I'm back in school full time (going for a PharmD) and I've got an exam on Friday and another on Monday so rather preoccupied. I will say however that the next few updates will be particularly plot heavy, and they'll also show that there are no Mary Sues...

    Arch-Villains in your game?

    Likewise. Whenever I run her, she's always had her claws in myriad schemes or at least been aware of them, but her only loyalty has always been utter and complete selfish self-interest.

    Arch-Villains in your game?

    Oh the Marauder was a villain in both of my 3.x campaigns, but not so much of an arch-villain than a second-tier villain and perpetual pain in the ass to the PCs.

    Arch-Villains in your game?

    My first campaign I used the Oinoloth as the primary villain (with a coterie of other unique yugoloths and baernaloths as looming threats with their own goals and aims). My second campaign used a mad former factol of the Bleak Cabal as the initial antagonist, with another figure manipulating...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Promises to Make the Game More Queer

    I'm genuinely glad to see WotC finally catching up with the rest of the industry here. They're a big company and having them finally on board with this approach is a damn good thing to see. A more accepting, diverse, and inclusive game world will appeal to and attract an ever more diverse player...

    Congratulations to the 2017 Gen Con EN World RPG Award Winners!

    My assumption is that with the judges placing virtually no Paizo products in the voting categories that a majority of Pathfinder-centric players simply didn't vote. I might be wrong, but that was my immediate take.
