Six Qlippoth lords given the alignment (all CE), areas of concern, domains, and favored weapon treatments, as well as one paragraph descriptions, ala the other Outer Planar exemplars in the ISWG.
Plus a big secret for one of the twenty main deities is hinted at or flat-out revealed.

Yeah I had him pinned as that or one of the old gods.

Well that certainly casts any possible relations between demons and that deity in a whole new light...

Any cool new info in the Qlippoth article to share? Which Qlippoth lord is featured?
And what about the new monsters?Thanks in advance.
|
Love getting some Lord love, one of them literally fell right into a perfect niche in my homebrew for a world-ender and had to use her. Really hope we get more info on them as well as more qlippoth to round out the cr list.
Also, liked the new kyton but was I the only one that was a little disappointed by how plain the art came off after reading the racial description in the normal text?
New monster list please! + descriptions if possible! thanks
Was the cover art an homage to the art on the 2ed Spawn of Azathoth cover? Or is that just a happy coincidence?

"Holding its own severed head in its hands, this marble statue
looms forbiddingly over what it protects."
End’s Voice CR 15 - Groetus’s herald
"A long crimson cloak drapes over the form of this large faceless
being, which floats just above the ground on footless legs as its
menacing flail crackles with blue currents of electricity."
Kython, Ostiarius CR 5 - Gatekeepers between the Material Plane and the Plane of Shadow.
"Cloaked in shadows, every curve and sculpted muscle of this
vision of physical perfection suggests some new gasping pleasure
or titillating torture."
Psychopomp, Kere CR 10 - Graveyard guardian
"This unnaturally pale woman is dressed in the somber garb of a
mourner, her countenance covered by a lengthy black veil."
Qlippoth, Gongorinan CR 10 - Egg implanting spawn of Yamasoth (who has a write-up in the Qlippoth article, "Before Sin")
"This human-sized crablike creature scuttles on six stumpy legs, and
each of its four arms sports a different method of inflicting pain."
Hope that helps.
Still reading and processing but I have to say:
I'm loving Gein Kafog. For a lot of reasons.
You're loving a character that isn't evil despite what some preconceived notions would expect? Color me shocked! :P

Coincidence.
It was actually a Wayne version of a cover I did for one of my own adventures about 27 years ago—"The Underground Kingdom of Yamasoth."
Needless to say... Wayne's cover is better than mine.

You should put up your original cover art on the blog, James!
I really like the article on Groetus and Yamasoth!
Sorry to say, I got a Flumph vibe looking at the Gongorinan.
Ruyan.
Maybe true, I never cared for them. The only insight I have is from reading OOTS. And looking at a CE qlippoth and being reminded of the flumph from the comic is kinda weird.
Ruyan.
My only use for flumphs is from The Order Of The Stick as well...
Darn...now where is my OOTS Collection?

Well that and... ;)
The big thing is that his beliefs actually raise a lot of interesting questions and possibilities, and touch a bit on some ideas that have been thrown back and forth on the forums for a while.
That and I love his tactics. Having a priest of an evil god showing that kind of restraint as his standard M.O. certainly helps push some expectations of heroic behavior from allegedly good-aligned PCs, which may be very useful for some GMs.
For me personally, it plays perfectly into the plot for a mythic-ish campaign I've wanted to run ever since Crimson Throne wrapped up, especially since he could easily wind up in conflict with the other major non-evil NPC that would be kicking off the plot.
And Laori Vaus finally has a male counterpart for those with different preferences. (Cause srsly, did any appreciable number of gamers swooned over Sial?)
Going to have to hunt for appropriate ambient tracks on YouTube or iTunes to represent the Windsong. That detail's too rich to not use for all it's worth.
Dig the new kyton, psychopomp, and qlippoth too. I can see the complaint about the new kyton's art lacking in the shudder factor though, what with him just having tattoos and...wait
Those aren't tattoos. D:
Normally I buy these from the local comic store, but is there any reason why Diamond Comics would have this release in June of next year, when its "already out" now???
Grollub, I've notified our Sales Sensei to look into it.
I will get this corrected. Just a glitch in the Diamond system.
