[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 8555566, member: 92511"] Heh. No problem. hm. Ok. I guess, if the above isn't clear, I"d handle it "D&D meets Abyss as a flipbook."...so/or "...as all genres?" Everywhere you go is going to be something different. Often jarringly so. No rhyme or reason to it. It's going to be something that is...unpleasant and inevitably -if not immediately discernable- dangerous, if not actively horrifying. The only thing "consistent" about the [cosmological home and origins of Chaotic Evil] Abyss are Demons and inconsistency. SO, demons of some kind will be everywhere...even if they're just [low level mooks] locked in their cars [by bigger bads] in the same eternal traffic jam as you all. You can inject dark comedy...even regular comedy. But no particular "genre" should be prevalent or consistent throughout. Think, like....channel-surfing... Demogorgon sitting back on his sectional, channel-surfing... Oo! Something akin to Rick & Morty's "Interdimensional Cable" but with more danger and horror. Imagine "bamfing" into an Abyssal layer that's a demon-filled soap opera in progress. The PCs are thrown scripts and accosted by dretch and chasme trying to put wigs and accessories on them and beat their faces with make up brushes and powder puffs. Getting shoved onto a set with other various other demons in ridiculous (soap opera) garb and overdone clownish makeup, in front of lights and cameras operated by goristros and glabrezu, a balor shrieks "PLACES! LIGHTS!..." from the director's seat. That's how I'd handle it. [/QUOTE]
