From their home on the insane, constantly changing, nightmare landscape of the Abyss, armies of Demons plot a frenzy of bloodshed across the planes of the multi-verse. Held back by the most unlikely of guardians, the Lawful Evil Devils, Demons have nonetheless plagued the peripheries of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy realm since its inception in the 70’s.

Today, on the Bestiary, we are joined by Guest Star and award winning designer and illustrator Ryan Durney, who took on the unenviable task of delving deep into the Abyss when he created a deadly campaign that takes place there. Mirrors of the Abyss sends the heroes to the never-before-explored 193rd layer of the Abyss to participate in an insane and bloody game designed by the depraved and self styled Queen of Demons, Esheballa. This episode covers some of the secrets behind Esheballa, the difficulties of designing the campaign, and also some of the history and unusual trivia behind Demons in The World’s Greatest RPG.
