Working on a new Planescape campaign; Door to Dolores

I put most of the info I came up for it on reddit but most of the people there are… narrow minded at best. So I'ma copy stuff over here.

So the primary idea for the adventure is based on this one old Polyhedron article and picture that went with it, as well as a disgusting amount of research into The Lady of Pain and her origins not just in setting but as a character.

Basically, when The Lady of Pain decided to spare the child (her name being Dolores) on that mythical day, she was actually selected to be her successor; The Child of Pain. She's then taken by Dabus' and pampered by The Lady, a ritual taking place to attempt to ascend her with the pains of the multiverse that The Lady herself exudes; Misery, Agony, Aguish, and Despair. However this ritual went wrong, destroying Dolores' body but trapping her soul within Sigil and The Outlands to reincarnate endlessly. With each new incarnation The Lady of Pain has tried again and again, fine tuning the ritual in the hope of getting it right and having the daughter she so desperately wants.

So that's essentially the set up, the adventure starting with the party discovering the current incarnation of Dolores and effectively adopting her as she slowly develops her LoP powers. I think it could be a really fun adventure with some heartwarming bits and a heart-wrenching ending planned, but I wanna know what kinda stuff around Sigil/The Outlands that could gel well with it. The best I've thought of, with the limited knowledge I've been able to research, is a few of the factions that would have any amount of interest in Dolores being a thing;

Athar; cause she’s proof that the gods aren’t the only way to power

Doomguard; cause she’s allowing The Lady of Pain to cheat entropy

Fated; cause she’s the ultimate prize to control Sigil

Fraternity of Order; cause they keep records on everything

Heralds of Dust; cause she’s died so many times they’d be fascinated by her

Mind’s Eye; cause she’s the realization of their ideas

Incanterium; cause she’d be how they might siphon Sigil of magic

With all this kinda laid out and me being kinda stuck in how I wanna run the adventure, I humbly ask any planar scholars on here that know more of the setting if you've got some fun lore bits or anything else that could make this adventure more fun. Anything that could help is appreciated! ^w^

Here then is Dolores' statblock that I made

Thinking about how Chilchuck and Laios started adventuring at around the same relative time in their lives

There are a bunch of similarities to their backstories - leaving home at a young age (14, 12), starting careers in exploring dungeons as young adults (19, 22), developing a complex about the first monster that killed them (Mimics, Living Armor), getting scammed or taken advantage of by other adventurers (succubus-hunting party, gold-peelers) - that they give me "past and future" vibes

Chilchuck is the older mentor to the less-experienced Laios. He joined Laios' party when Laios had only been exploring the dungeon for a year, and Chilchuck regularly gives advice based on his own 10 years of experience in an effort to support Laios as leader. There are several occasions of Chilchuck either teaching or wishing Laios would learn something in particular that he thinks would help with the job

Laios is a reflection of Chilchuck's past from when he was just starting out as a naive adventurer, while Chilchuck is an example of the future that Laios is striving towards as a seasoned dungeon explorer and leader

But also, they can represent missed opportunities and paths not taken for each other

An example for Chilchuck is that he isn't treated with the same respect as a tall-man because he is a half-foot. He can lead a union of half-foots, but leading a party of other races, many of whom would infantilize him, is unlikely. There are limitations to what he can do (physically and socially) compared to Laios simply because of how each were born, and it's partly why he's so hard on Laios to make him a good leader and not waste the opportunities afforded to him

Meanwhile as an example for Laios, who left his family and fiancée behind when going out on his own at 12 years old, who wasn't shocked that Chilchuck became a father at 13, and who even mentioned that some tall-men get married at 13, too...

If Laios had never left home, would he, at 13, have married someone from his childhood and also become a father of three?

Seemed like a good time to polish up this piece from February as well. Got the idea from a Cammy/Chun Li artwork I've always liked.

How are you so famn good at this?

Years of practice.

I've been painting minis for, God, half a decade now.

If you're asking about the prop gun, I have no idea. I really lucked out on that one.

How many pew pew men do you have?

At this point, probably over 100.

I've got a few dozen painted Space Marines. The Chaos Cultists. Regular Cultists. Space Dwarves. Half of the catgirls are painted. Most of the football playing demons. Easily a dozen pinups at this point. Several Pride minis. And just a few dozen uncategorized models.

If we count unpainted, way too many.
