Progress Report #3: Exciting future!
Today, we're introducing Piss, and a few other characters for a spinoff RPG. Don't worry, we won't be over-extending ourselves, A Slice of Hell is taking the front row in internal discussion, and development. A Slice of Hell is 100% the best introduction to the world, and will definitely set the tone the best.
We've been expanding lore over on Twitter a bit, in sporradic posts. We'll likely post some of that here over time, as well. Sorry that Itch.io doesn't get most of our attention, we promise we're working hard lmao.
First up, before we introduce Piss, I'd just like to say, things should start moving a little quicker. Our Illustrator has finally gotten away from her abusive family in Mississippi, and is now living happier than she's been in her life. This was one of our primary hang-ups, but now she has all the time in the world to work on commissions, and to work on Pandaemonium when the time is right for it.
We'll avoid spoiling all the littlebits that come with Piss, his personality, etc. Just know he's about as foul as he smells.
This is Mercedes Ward. She goes by the moniker 'Mercy'. She's a member of the Sisters of the Morning Star.
To understand what that means, exactly, understand that until recently, the church organization that Father Indigator is a part of, didn't have a name yet. That changed, when I came up with the Ministry of the Morning Star.
The Ministry of the Morning Star are a humanitarian group, who head relief efforts, and combat efforts, to alleviate suffering in Hell. The spirit of Satan is merciful, and sympathetic to humanity. To this end, the Ministry is separated into two groups.
The Ministers of the Morning Star
&
The Sisters of the Morning Star
They follow a ranking system.
Indigator is Alpha Cardinal.
This puts Mercy, who works under Indigator, as an Analavite Omega, squarely in the center of the ranking system.
There is only one Parvus Satanas, as it is a rank second only to Satan himself; Anton Szandor 'The Black Pope' LaVey heads the church in Hell, after Crowley stepped down. Being second to a plurality of personalities that roam Hell is a little chaotic, but for the most part, it works out.
Here is a map of Hell
It's not comprehensive, there are plenty of smaller cities, and villages inbetween the major cities, and landmarks , but Pandaemonium, Dis, Acheron, Sheol, Gehennom, and Naraka are the largest cities, each rivaling entire earth continents in size. For comparison, we've also made a map... for comparison. Rofl.
We superimposed a fake flat earth, over the very real flat hell.
From this perspective, at least, The City of Pandaemonium rivals the entire continent of the North Americas. Just to give you a sense of scale regarding this singular city. Every city in Hell is at least a Megacity. And that's excellent, because it gives us lots of space to work with, and even more blanks to let fans fill in like a D&D settling!
The RPG idea will span a few locations, and will follow Mercy with some of her Ministry allies, taking down baddies, and aiding the needy. I won't give many spoilers there, since what we've got planned is far too good to spoil :)
Stay tuned, friends. We hope to have some great projects down the line!
