Planescape Bestiary

Hello cutters! It's certainly been a while. I meant to post this some months ago, but I was having some issues with my password. Fortunately, Loki retweeted me through the Planewalker feed, but I've wanted to let people know about this through the forums as well.

At the end of last spring, I started a new personal project to work on improving my writing skills and come up with some ideas for planescape campaign called the Planescape Bestiary. I've modelled this off the Daily Bestiary blog and am working my way through Paizo's list of monsters, finding a place for them in the Great Wheel, then providing some plot hooks to go along with them. I've also being using the Advanced Race Guide to create some simple races to allow people to create PCs out of more complicated monsters. If you are interested in checking it out, you can find the link here:

I'd love to get feedback and constructive criticism from anyone who takes the time to read the blog and hope you'll enjoy it. If there is interest, I can certainly update this thread whenever I make a post to the blog.

Re: Planescape Bestiary

This is awesome!

I'd say post an update here. Will try to get this in the next issue of the zine as well as it's a great thing to utilize.

Re: Planescape Bestiary

Thanks Sciborg!

I've got some of the stuff that I wrote for the Zine back in 2012 on the blog too, but if you want to include a link or poach some plothooks that would be awesome as long as I know about it! It's updating most Mondays and Fridays right now, although I'm a little be ahead of you guys in time zones, so it will likely be out Sunday and Thursday evening for you.

If anything stands out as being particularly good or needing fixing, please let me know!!

Oh, just to clarify I meant mentioning it in the zine.

I wouldn't copy anything without your permission!

An Arboreal Dragon sample character has been posted! This one features some mischievous fey who have escaped into the Gilded Hall as a plot hook.

I also have been enjoying your feed, but I haven't had much of a chance to say anything lately, as I've been entirely too busy with life.

Re: Planescape Bestiary

I've made a short entry that allows you to use a simplified version of the Wood Giant as a PC race.

Re: Planescape Bestiary

I'd allow a human in a Yithian body PC, like it was in the story, otherwise it's too strange.
