Hello mortals! Gen Con was very fun! Xanxost accidentally entered the costume contest when a judge thought Xanxost was wearing a slaad costume. And then Xanxost won first prize! Originally Xanxost won tenth prize but then the first nine winners disappeared mysteriously.

Hello mortals! Xanxost is a slaad from the planes. AXA! There is a D&D game setting called Planescape that said things about Xanxost. Drawing of Xanxost by this mortal: deviantart.com/clone-artist
Xanxost's biggest fan is a fire giant on Ysgard who is 400 feet tall. And there is a demon lord who likes Xanxost and is 398 feet tall. So unless you are 399 feet tall, you are Xanxost's third biggest fan. But do not fret! Xanxost does not care about height. You cannot eat height! Xanxost has tried.
I'm @xanxost.bsky.social 's second biggest fan
Hello from Gen Con mortals! Xanxost is sorry about the big storm. Xanxost packed some chaos stuff from Limbo for the trip and it got loose.
Many beings enjoy doing this to slaadi because the rough skin scrubs their face clean! Sometimes clean off.
rubbing my face on @xanxost.bsky.social like a cat to show my affection for the foremost scholar of the Great Wheel
A group of graybeards called Xanxost that once and then Xanxost made sure they were gore manned until one of the graybeards used his last words to say it was a compliment.
you forgot "gourmand". Gore-mand, perhaps?
Yes that too! Xanxost has used rocks to straighten out demons. Rocks are good for so many things! They are nature’s candy. Xanxost is so hungry.
Oho! It is one of the three things Xanxost is most known to be! Hungry Mighty Trustworthy Hungry Four things.
the only slaad I trust with a new Planescape
Greetings from Gen Con mortals! The spellslingers on the beach forgot to announce that they are teaming up with Xanxost to make books about Xanxost! The reason they forgot is they do not know it yet. But Xanxost will show them it is a good idea! Xanxost just needs to get some rocks first.
Hello mortals! It is Gen Con time in your famous city Indianapolisburg! Xanxost will be there to research what mortals are saying about the planes. If you see Xanxost, please come up and say "Hello Xanxost!" Try not to look like food when you do it.
Oho! It depends what CR you mean. The escaped orange slaad has a very high chaos rank. But he has very low clever reasoning. Xanxost does not know how much celestial relish he has.
I thought he was just a human with a lower CR than a Commoner.
Be on alert mortals! Xanxost learned that a barmy slaadi who ate too much chaos-stuff escaped his minders on Limbo some time ago and ran to the Prime. He is fat and orange and stinky and has tiny hands and is fat and talks on and on and on like an addle-cove. Has anyone seen him? There is a reward!
Hello mortals! Did you know the Outer Planes also have a famous story called The Odyssey? It is the story of a man who takes a crew and sets out to travel the entire Great Ring but they go to Limbo first and a red slaad eats them. It is a short story.
Elf fingers work best when prepared with surprise. You sneak up to the elf while they are busy thinking about barmy elf things and rip their fingers off. Sometimes the hand or arm comes off too and that is okay. Just keep practicing!
... depends. How are the elf fingers prepared?
Hello mortals! Xanxost hears there is a Prime Material Plane lettuce that makes your butt explode. Oho! All glory to your graybeards for creating the perfect snack and/or weapon of war. Xanxost is coming with two bags of holding! Do you take elf fingers in trade?
Hello mortals! Xanxost was asked how to stay cool when it is very hot outside. The answer is simple! Dig a big hole and fill it with cold liquid like high elf blood or wood elf blood or dark elf blood or sea elf blood. Then leave it and go on a vacation to the Ice Wastes of the Abyss.
One good thing about pit fiends is their skin is so hot that they are basically covered in bacon already! Just peel and eat. It is so handy!
Xanxost! When we gonna make Pit Fiend bacon?
Hello mortals! Xanxost met a new dretch in the Abyss who says his name is Linseed. His new job is licking Juiblex clean and he will be good at it because he did the same thing for a big smelly blob in his mortal life. The lesson is experience counts! Prepare for the afterlife you want!
Oho! Wearing lunch on your head saves a lot of time! The only problem is you cannot wait to eat it so it becomes breakfast and then you have to wear dinner on your head for lunch and then when it is time for dinner you have to eat whatever elf is closest. Actually that is not a problem at all.
playing skyrim with @vonaether.bsky.social , we named one of our cats after @xanxost.bsky.social and he loves his chicken hat
Hello mortals! Some of you say Sigil is shaped like a donut. Oho! The truth is donuts are shaped like Sigil! The dabus make them in a secret bakery and send them into the multiverse so people think about Sigil and make the Lady of Pain stronger. The donut holes represent the Abyss, of course.
Most mortals do not know that the astral dreadnought on the book cover is Xanxost’s old friend Manuel. When they told him the name of the book he got very excited and gave a big smile for the picture! It is too bad they spelled his name wrong.
It always feels like there's a wide gulf between AD&D's 1st edition and 2nd edition, so it's wild to remember that there was only seven years between 1e's Manual of the Planes and 2e's Planescape.
Xanxost has written other books too! One of them is a book of recipes for elves. It is called Xanxost's Book of Recipes for Elves. A lot of elves heard about it and said "Thank you Xanxost for spreading awareness of things that elves like to eat" and then they read the book and said "oh."
Xanxost once tried to write a book called 1001 Ways to Get Mazed, but the research took too long.
That's one way to get Mazed, I guess.
Xanxost went to an event like this once but Xanxost misunderstood what you were supposed to do with the kittens at the event so Xanxost was told to leave the event.
Went to a kitten snuggling today event in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. :)
Mortals always ask Xanxost if the city of Sigil is pronounced with a hard G or a soft G. Oho! It is very simple! It is pronounced just like the G in the word gif.
"But Xanxost," you cry. "Do not the slaadi eat people's faces too?" Yes! But most of the time, those people did not vote for us to do that. We just did it because we were hungry or mad or hungry or bored or hungry or happy or hungry.
Hello mortals! Xanxost sees many of you laughing about leopards eating people's faces. Xanxost once saw cranium rats eating an elf's face and it *was* very funny, so Xanxost understands! (Xanxost is the one who strapped the cranium rats to the elf's face, but that does not make it not funny.)
Sometimes Xanxost misses that depraved evil plane with the infinite layers of violence, the one where all the demons fight to see who is the most cruel and there are no rules and the weak are tortured and eaten and every day is a new horror. But then Xanxost remembers why Xanxost left Twitter.
Hello mortals! Xanxost used to talk to you at the tweeter before the muskoloth fixed it, the same way you would fix a puppy or a quasit or an elf. A Prime human in a big hat once said he was fixin' to punch Xanxost so Xanxost fixed him first. Xanxost still has the hat!
