Gearing Guide to the Planes Issue 2 - Planes of Illusion


As before, but one less table because pinning down an illusionary inhabitant seems contradictory. (Which they love, obviously)

Gearing Guide to the Planes Issue 1 - Planes of Punishment


I mean, these are mostly me dicking around and learning layout. It's 3 pages, a pair of tables. The idea should be very lean content, just what you need in the stylized presentation. I might combine them all at the end for a singular THING.

The presentation is different to the punkzine, but hopefully I'll get somewhere similar-yet-different. We'll see I suppose. Tell me what you think works, what doesn't, etc.


THANKS OXOXOX

Leviathans of Chaos #1

The first impression to give is that of immensity. The eyes - globes, suns, galaxies wide. Monolithic pales in comparison. Existences tremble at the mammoth synapse-equivalents of the thing. When a single one fires, entire histories are blasted, engulfed in the light. The intelligence powered by such machinery is utterly incalculable, but worse - it cares very deeply about a speck like you.

Indifference doesn't occur when there is such a limitless capacity for hate. You aren't special - it hates everything. Everything that thinks. Everything mindless. Everything still, moving, timeless, temporary, living dead. These very words.

EVERYTHING.

Tendrils. Tentacles. These are important. A tiny, infinitesimal crack letting in some probing member. Stretched thin, disconnected from the whole, and absolutely devastating. The deepest necropolises and caverns wherein reality breaks down and warps, these are the places it will intrude. The dull eldritch-purple tendril, flailing with mindless hate infusing every space, real or potential, filled by this isolated fragment of the Leviathan of the Sea of Chaos.

The Hate You Take
1
Life. Embrace death as you ascend to ArchLichdom, fully imbued with the Mastery of Death.
2
Light. A great Extinguisher is born, ender of all Illumination.
3
Time. Explode into chunks to reveal a nascent Chronovore.
4
Sound. The Silencer blooms, a deafening flower of absence.
5
Thought. NULL. NULL. NULL. NULL. NULL. NULL.
6
Change. Calcificator, ending progress, perfection in marble.
7
Stillness. Anarch Chang Growt Deca Aliv Dea
8
Reality. A mortal light is snuffed out, a demon forms itself from the stuff of chaos afloat in the sea.
