This is quite off topic, but aside from telling people individually over PM, and some have expressed an interest in the past, I'm posting a storyhour of my Planescape campaign up on Enworld.

Essentially it's my campaign in story format. So go and enjoy or heckle my writing, either way, but it's my ideas on Planescape unshackled and not restrained by peer review such as on Planewalker. ;)

Again, if this is too off topic, I apologize.

You can count on me to be there, beautiful opening thus far. Lots of Yugoloths mentioned in the prologue, how 'unexpected'.

Oh the campaign is centered on the planes of conflict, and so it revolves in large part around the 'loths as the main antagonists. There's some notable exceptions though, and the campaign has now shifted to the Inner Planes currently and will remain there mostly for the next 6-7 months real time and a year or so game time.

As I said it's me going nuts and not worrying about it being balanced or unbiased to my favorite themes and ideas. I detail what I like, and then I wreck it all to hell. I'll update again in the next few days once I dig out my notes from a year ago to re-read.

Shemmy, that was so cool.

How often can we expect updates?

I plan on updating once or twice a week till I catch up with the current plotline, that will be some time. I may not finish the storyhour till after the campaign has actually ended (probably in the next 8 months) and the plot reached a conclusion.

I've gotten portions of the next update written, but real life intervenes too much today so nothing till tommorow at least.

Glad you're interested, thank you

Which is good, because I'm running behind on my next update to the storyhour, too much work irl.

I know that this was posted almost a week ago, and I also know that I have been asking for this exact post for awhile, so I apologize for not answering sooner. Basically, I'm just posting to sing the praises of a certain 'loth. I love the little intro to your campaign. I especially like how you've treated the General, in particular, how he both showed no fear for the Baern that visited, but also showed absolute subserviance, at the same time. I'm looking forward to more.

The Yugoloths are a shadowy bunch, aren't they? Kind of reminds me of that documentary on the Soviet Union's secret millitary projects I once saw.

Updated as of 4:25am EST. This update sponsored by a major snowstorm that's likely to keep me out of work and class in the morning (I hope so...)

But pardon any spelling errors or grammer snafus, it was partially transcribed from a chat log that was described in a different person so I may have messed up some instances there. Hopefully not. But there's the first of the PC's now in the story, and another update till hopefully we get to see some of the others.

Shemeska, it seems we live in the same Timezone! We also use Eastern Time here were I live.

Shemeska, great story so far, especially the intro. So something really BIG is going to happen on the planes, I guess.
I liked it very much and I`m looking forward to the next update.

There's more on the way. I've got the next week off for spring break so I'll be writing several updates ahead of schedule. And the events already written happened in that campaign over a year and a half ago, so the material is there it just needs to be written down.

I just hope that it remains entertaining.

I wonder Shemeska, I'm a bit of a writer myself actually, and may take a shot at writting some Planescape stories. If I did, would you, or anyone else be interested in reading it?

I'm really fascinated by Planescape and interested in everything what´s going on on the planes.
And since it´s not important what you are or what you can do here on the Outer Planes but what you know, I will appreciate very much if you write down a story, and, of course will read it(, apart from appreciating).

I'll think about it. I was thinking of doing a fiction series on the "Bizzaro Multiverse" concept I develop over on the "Beyond the Multiverse" thread, which would involve a crossover and conflict between the two Multiverses.

I'd be happy to read any PS fiction anyone writes.

Ok, that settles it! I'll do it, after all, Moogle did say a while back on this board that he'd host any good Planescape stories on Planeswalker.com.

I am still developing the Bizzaro Outer Planes, and I could use all the suggestions I could get on this matter, so far, I've got Mt.Woe(Bizzarro Mt.Celestia), and Bizzarro versions of Mechanus(By Freefall, its hillarious, trust me), and Limbo(By Incenjucuar).
