The Planes, and especially the Lower Planes, always make for fascinating subjects. Asmodeus' true form from the Guide to Hell is indeed terrifying, and by far my favorite rendition of him.

Indeed! I pity all those who just know him from his relatively benign 1st Ed stats...

Only thing I'm sad to see excluded was Inferno by Judges Guild
Great video regardless 🤘

[@WillyMuffinUK]

Shhh, spoilers...
With this one, I boxed it to the TSR/WotC "Hell narrative" purposefully.
Anyway - thank-you 🙂

[@iantaran2843]

​​Idk if it would be relevant to your future content but a group ran with that module and made the rest of hell... Apparently, I've never seen anyone cover it 😅
Inferno Journey through MalebolgeI I believe. As well, I'm sorry for any spoilers I'm responsible for !!@@WillyMuffinUK

[@stevenkennedy4130]

J.G's Inferno.

[@WillyMuffinUK]

That'll come...

It makes you glad you are Lawful Evil…….👹

I'm more CG myself - learn devil-lore on a "know thy enemy" basis! 🤣
