I had hoped he was still lurking around these forums but I've never received an answer to an inquiry I left some months ago.

All I can say to that is that he's announced his willingness to participate in the challenge in this very same thread three days ago (under the name "Uncager"), so thankfully it seems he is still lurking around here and still interested in creating custom content occasionally!

               A lot of content that was preparing for my module was convert from NWN2 and Purgatorio, so I didn't publish them. '>

               Publish them anyway, dude.  The community would benefit from them.  Just give credit to where they're from and you should be safe!

               I'd love to see these as well!  Not being an NWN2 player I've had to go off the screenshots and some of the stuff I remember seeing looked really nice.  Don't most of the folks who worked on that hang out in the #nwn2cr channel?

This is what I get for skimming posts instead of reading.

Good to see you still here, Phoenix / Uncager. The work you put in is admirable.

Some inspirational images:

Ugh... Despite my dislike for the 4e game rules and how it bent the Planescape setting over the table, I do have to admit that I like the atmosphere in this picture. Which displeases me immensely as I had left NWN far behind me.

Curse you, Birdman, curse you to the Mazes!

Would anyone have an idea what that fiery apparation in the front and the darkly one in the back are? I assume the former is a a sword archon, but I can't make out the one in the back. It looks damned for sure, but I can't name it for the life of me.

               The one in the back looks like a Cambion.

Aha, it would appear that you're correct. I did a quick google search and that's indeed cambions according to the reference material I found. Can't say that I approve of the changes that WotC made to this creature, though... It's so different that it doesn't even come close to the original concept anymore.

Sadly this is the case for pretty much anything related to Planescape in 4e... hence my strong dislike for 4e.

               I might start on something this week, depending on the free time I have to spare. Nothing thus far, though.

               I've never delved into Planescape (it never really interested me as a setting), but I'll contribute a little something.

I'll make some head-aligned VFX:
- tiefling horns (two short horns coming out of the forehead)
- fire hair (for those genasi critters?)

               Oh that would be neat... you could do more than fire... there's Air, Water, and Earth Genasi too.

               If you just wanted to make fire hair for its look then that's cool, but if anyone's into the genasi idea I have some ideas there. The thing is that genasi are not all alike within the same type, and there are para/quasi-elemental genasi too.

It could go like:

Flaming hair (fire genasi)
Smoke/dust hair (smoke, fire, earth genasi)
Lightning sparks (air, lightning, radiance genasi)
Focused Color Spray texture (radiance, and other uses like demiliches)
White cloud (Like the air elemental tails - air genasi)
Water drip (maybe the visual of cold damaging weapons)
Acid drip (ooze genasi - less common but hey)
A rock (literally, a craggy irregular rock that is placed "inside" the head so all you see are protrusions maybe on the side of the face and on the head in ridges - maybe a rocky and a crystal version for earth and mineral genasi)

Anyway, these are just ideas that I think would look cool in a planescape setting.

               Once again I'm drawing a total blank on what to make this month.  Uhhhhh...  *blank stare at my monitor*  Any images y'all would like sliced and diced into portraits?  Or placeable sounds?
