Well here I was working on the toolset and thought of perhaps the most coolest visual idea I've figured placing into an area where a bit of the Blood War is being fought at. Then I figured how cool it'd be to show the remnants of this battling and the damage of what epic spells tend to cause. Now for a taste of things to come:

If anybody remembers the Fire and Ice spell from Planescape: Torment well here it is and it has become a permanent scar to the Astral Drifts. Enjoy staring at this wonderful screenshot; I know

Trouble times are these for Hellbound, but we will pull through; as all things tend to do. I will be looking further into fleshing out more of the server's lore, area design, and interactivity with player characters. I will need assistance for this however; please make suggestions on what you'd like to see in the way of player interactivity with not only the enviroment but npcs. Send me either a private message on the forums or post it under the suggestion forum. I look forward to any suggestions or comments.

We've lost two great staff members this week due to difference of opinions; while they will be missed and hope them for the best; we will do our best to fill in those shoes. In this aspect also Update 2 and further updates to the server proper will be put on hold.

What I plan is to establish the rest of the Astral Plane and flesh out the smaller details that appear missing currently. This will take some time but ultimately I expect it to thrust Hellbound further towards a final release. From there we can look forward to scheduled weekly quests involving the main story plot of Hellbound, which was teased at in several small quests during this phase of the beta.

To put minds at ease we will continue to operate the server for those who play and your characters will not be affected. When what I will be referring to as Beta-2 roll around we'll have a larger scope to play and with your suggestions, the interactivity you desire. The server size will be expected to double and offer an expanded list of PRCs, spells, and playable races; and starter quests that will establish characters to Planescape: Hellbound and her story.

I plan to try and post up new frontpage news items more often in the future, including sneak peeks at what I am working on. Stay tuned.

The Open Beta Release of Hellbound is nearly here. I'll update this page further when I have a more definate date in which we'll be opening up the server to the community. I am confident that within a week or two the server will be open beta. I'm looking forward to seeing and roleplaying with everyone of you.

Now is the time to register on the forums if you haven't already. Registering and posting your agreement on the forums is the first step to entering the server. While you wait for us to setup your forum account for full access download the required haks under the downloads section of the website.

Well I've been thinking about changing around the website so here it is. I am liking the new look of the website myself and I hope you do too. Perhaps the best thing about the new design is easier navigation and an expanded content area.

My next task outside of continuing work on the actual server is to setup the image galleries, which will include the fifteen screenshots I posted on the forums. If you'd like to add your own screenshots or character art send me an email here.

I'm going to be trying to push myself into getting this project underway. I've been slacking off but with Mask of the Betrayer coming out I'll have some new goodies to play with and some things I believe will help make some of the areas needing to be made a whole lot easier.

I am still needing staff of all kinds... mainly scripter and a couple of builders... deticated ones hopefully.

Welcome to Planescape: Hellbound. At this moment we are in the planning process of the server. Figuring out what needs to be done and preparing to do it. If you are interested in helping build up and give your own unique touch to a playerworld please send me a private message on our forums. Hellbound needs all the help it can get. Which means it needs area designers, scripters, modelers, and quest planners!
