I am going to start with a demi-plane.

If you don't use the name change from 1st edition, some of the ideas would be kinda cool if you didn't go overboard with them. Like a center for trade in the multiverse (city of Sigil), and the ideas of the factions fighting for control of the multiverse, and the City being a "safe place" (wink wink) where the fight for the multiverse is done with more political maveuvering and intrigue than swords and spells.

ps, I'll start on a planescape mod when I get my stuff down here from Michigan.

For my Silver Marches project, I need to do some work in the lower planes. I don't want to give away more than that at the moment. :)

To be fair, I think I remember that a city was mentioned in the old Manual of the Planes, but the idea was not expanded to any extent. (The Plane of Concordant Opposition reduced the powers of gods and magic (and eventually everything else) too, even back then ;) )

Possibly, but I dunno what the manual of the planes had in it, since I never owned a copy. Planescape tells a lot to me that I didn't know towards making a planar game.

I'll bet it was very detailed, at the least! (A whole boxed set, as well as other accessories that were on sale separately...)

Extraplanar monsters changed a bit from 1e to 2e, though (mostly additions, a few deletions, I think - did they have Hollyphants, Baku, Xag-ya, Xeg-yi, etc.?). I had the 2e Monster Compendium Outer Planes Appendix, which was later replaced by the Planescape Appendix (I never got that one)...

For some reason, I drew another vampire icon (chee, it's quite similar to the old one), two ogres (well, one is a recolor), and a quick lamia (using parts that I created before).

Well... I needed an ogre, anyway...

Vampires are always good. (I'm writing a novel about vampires.)

An ogre? DC needs a good ogre icon. :) I'm on my to chek it out as soon as I post this. :D

Lamia: how funny. I was just looking at the Monstrous Manual (2) on Monday and ended up at the Lamia. I was mostly just looking at the picture and thinking that it would be fun to do one and a wemic, too for DC. :D:D:D

The ogre (yellow-skinned) has been added to the default DC artwork.
Excellent job, Uatu. Thanks for helping DC rock. :D:D:D

Oh, really? Heh, heh :D

I think I will just always put a purple one in large ogre groups ("wha - what is THAT?!")... Of course, it will have mundane ogre stats...

Lamias in 2e supposedly can have deer, goat, etc. bottom halves, too... 1e does not mention what the bottom half is made of.
