I have Demon Queen's Enclave (P2) and Manual of the Planes

I am not sure that's what I said

If they're not saving it, then why stop the undead?

Are the Keepers the same ones I did the ecology for in Dragon? What fluff is there for them?

I do not recall the ecology you wrote, but the keepers are now eerie custodians of the Shadowfell's city of Gloomwrought. They act on the behest of an unknown master, but their agenda is secret, although related to death. Seeing a Keeper outside of the Shadowfell is an ill omen of immediate death. It disolves into inky black pool when killed.

For the Canoloth, are the yugoloths as a race mentioned?

Nope. They are demons.

What is said about Pluton and Carceri (yes it irks me that 'loths were made demons because there was supposedly no place for them, and then two of their main haunts show up as Astral domains). And is there a gehenna pastiche present?

Carceri is a well-hidden dominion. A prison plane, created to imprison a primordial creature the gods couldn-t destroy.

Pluton is a forgotten dominion, once the domain of Nerull (ie where the souls of the dead went), until he lost most of his power to what has become the Raven Queen. Some souls still come here.

The description of Sigil... does it make any attempt to hold to the 2e/3e metaplot, or does it backtrack in any ways. Ie is Alisohn Nilesia mentioned as Factol of the Mercykillers.

I will need more info, sorry, as mentioned earlier, my recollection of PS lore is really bad. But neither Alisohn nor the Mercykillers are mentioned.

And the most important question of all: is my namesake mentioned as the most awesome person in Sigil? And if so, how do they spell her name?

She is mentioned yeah, along with Alluvius Ruskin, Rule-of-Three and Vocar the Disobedient, as some of the "Faces of Sigil". She is spelled Shemeshka.

Well, there is a way to "win" without saving the drow town. But not stopping the undead would be a bad idea, for the world at large.

Enemy of my bigger enemy is my friend... until bigger enemy is dead and I can go back to hatin on my first enemy.

Isle of Dread? How much does it line up with X1? Is it more..err...fantastical? (being in the feywild)

Or is this version of the Isle of Dread something completely different?

Sorry, never had X1.

Isle of Dread is a tropical island that worldfalls constantly (ie passes over from Feywild to the Real World). Lots of savage beasts, ancient yuan-ti temple, and people from different moments in history inhabit the isle. Oh there is also a thin tower of crystal rising from one of the central mountains.

MotP: So, do the chapters on Shadowfell/Feywild give you some good foundation to run in them, or is it just some superfluious description but nothing concrete? Are the details good?

Well, it does help, and it's nice to get an overview of what races there are in the two planes, and how to interact. And of course the locations do a lot as well, to help understanding these two "new" places.

TBH, if there was a whole book coming out, it would help more. 30 pages (for the two planes) isn't much when there is so much to cover, but it's a good base.

So Isle of Dread is a demiplane now? Hmm.... I take it no Rakasta?

How much space is dedicated to the Spelljammers?

Not really a demiplane. It's part of the Feywild, but the whole isle worldfalls into the mortal realms at times. Just as some eladrin cities do.

How much space is dedicated to the Spelljammers?

Just the mention of spellingjamming vesels, used to travel around the Astral Sea. (at least that's the only mention I have seen). There is also the stats for a Spelljammer.

Yeah, the same critters. Sounds like the diverged pretty far on them however. Oh well.

Well I'll applaud them on this one note: they actually read some of the source material then beyond the 3e PlHB subchapter on Sigil, because Alluvius is a bit outside of the norm. Vocar the Disobedient seems to be new. That's an interesting mixture (if quirky since they're not the most powerful by any means, but they're interesting ones certainly). But oddly, no Factols listed there. Rhys of the Transcendant Order was probably the most powerful and influential person in Sigil, so it's odd to not see her listed, unless they intended to downplay the Factions.

Interesting.

And btw, Jack, I appreciate you taking the time to answer questions. Thank you

What do they say about Moil?

Here, here.

Besides, the base stats for the Bladeling is there anything else? Or is it the same as the rest of MM races?

I saw on the other thread mention of how the Great Wheel is redone for 4e. While I never really liked the Great Wheel still be neat to here how they redid it.
