One would hope they fill it with trolls, which are obviously
unseelie. I also have to object to the complete load of pants random
fantasy name generator they're using. Expect the Paladin "Strongheart"
to make a comeback with his friend "Hawkler" the Ranger, now both
using the "Flaming Pink Flamingo" path.

'Cause, you know, it's *GAY*. Which all reminds me of a campaign I
must run one day, with the evil PCs who no one takes seriously, at

Heh.

The Abyss is
unthinkably vast - thousands of miles in extent

Surely "...millions..."? Thousands of miles is quite thinkably vast,
especially given the demons' total inability to maintain any sort of
economy, and hence density.

The Abyss is an infinite number of often infinite planes, most of
which serve only to kill you irreparably in various unpleasant ways.
Always has been, always will be.

Always? I seem to recall it being 666 layers, before it went infinite.

When you enter the realm of portals,
you likely gaze on what no mortal before has seen.

I miss Planescape.

On the other hand, at least they finally made Asmodeus a god. Dicefreaks
called that one right with The Gates of Hell years ago.
