    D&D 5E (2014) Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    The Isle of Black Trees showed up in 2e's 'The Eternal Boundary', though little more than a name drop. It got a tiny bit of detail in 3e (in the same article that featured the Clockwork Gap). :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    There's a number of Demiplanes missing. The Isle of Black Trees for instance and the Clockwork Gap. That said, this is absolutely gorgeous and you're an awesome person for having made and shared this. I wish that they'd used something like this for 5e rather than trying to retain chucks of 4e's...

    The climb back down the face of Karsus’s petrified corpse was slow and daunting, significantly more difficult than the initial climb up from the ground. Making the trek even more difficult was the dour mood that blanketed the group, reflected in their expressions and the utter lack of...

    Thank you so much! You flatter me! I've really enjoyed writing it, and I really wish that at some point I could get my original Planescape group back together for a game, though that was when we were all in college and we've since dispersed about the country. Life, jobs, etc. As for the 2nd...

    We got to add a bunch of stuff. I can't tell you what that stuff is, but trust me when I say that you'll like this book. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) So...Volo, Xanathar...who's next?

    I'd love to work on such a thing and think I could do a bang up job on it, but I'd be surprised if anyone at WotC knows who I am right now. My only 5e product wasn't released through the DM's Guild, and nobody I worked with however briefly in 4e is still there as far as I know. Plus I'm going...

    Vorkannis never thinks small-scale. It's in his nature. There's worse to come. The next few updates will have some major plot development.

    Over 1700 years earlier: The chamber was vast, its ceiling vaulted, and yet despite its profound size it managed to appear cluttered, filled as it was with bookcases, tables covered in open tomes and scrolls, and dozens of sprawling, fantastical magical and alchemical apparatuses, all...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 18Jan2026)

    The climb up the red stone butte was long and slow, complicated by a lack of natural handholds in places, flickers of wild magic precipitating out of the stone, and the presence of carbonized mezzoloth corpses that clung tight to the stone, only to crumble to ashes when touched, defying any...

    The group continued their trek through the twisted, magically warped landscape of the Dire Wood, cautiously avoiding the worst of what Tristol described as “wizard weather” and the largest packs of both the wandering undead and a number of ancient, weathered, and utterly violent golems and other...

    The burning cloud washed over the top of the butte, stretching from the base of the onyx pyramid and flowing like a seeking, life-hungry liquid down the face of the cliff towards the mezzoloths clambering up the side upon and atop each other. “My Oinoloth,” Venrisala turned towards the...

    The two Wulgreths are actually canonical. Wulgreth of Netheril (demilich) and Wulgreth of Ascalhorn (lich) are apparently the result of two different authors creating a backstory for the Wulgreth lairing in Karse, and one of them being utterly unaware of the previous source that already handled...

    “Well there’s a welcome mat rolled right out for us…” Toras smirked before rubbing his hands together and looking quite pleased, “But hey! We get to probably fight a death knight!” “Splendid.” Florian touched her holy symbol, knowing that she’d likely need its power soon. “So Tristol, do you...

    **** The next five hours passed without incident, save for the tension between Tristol and his mother that left the others holding their breath and their tongues. Tristol’s father did his best to mediate it all before anything unfortunate and regrettable might be said, and as for Nisha… it was...

    The far realms aren't exactly out of the story yet. They'll be there in the background in a few places along the way. They're a major element of the sequel campaign to this one (which I'll move back to writing once this one is over - probably years from now). As for Shemeska's meddling with the...
