  1. Ah, yes. Good stuff indeed. The "tone" of Planscape in generally owes so much to DiTerlizzi.

  2. I've recently re-purchased a Planescape box set and have been enjoying so much of the art you've shared here. Good stuff!

  5. And lifting my head a little, I saw a hideous demon of gigantic frame and stature, with eyes of scarlet fire beneath brows that were coarse as tangled rootlets, and fangs that overhung a cavernous mouth, and earth-black teeth longer and sharper than those of the hyena. And the demon said to me:

    "I am a ghniil, and it is my office to devour the bodies of the dead. I have now come to claim the corpse that was interred today beneath the soil on which thou art lying in a fashion so unmannerly. Begone, for I have fasted since yester-night, and I am much anhungered."
