Metamorphosis: From Dretch to Demon Lord - Ascension Released!

[Need_A_Life]

Thanks for the kind words, but you know, it's not really free. I've promised Pazuzu the souls of all my readers once the story is finished.

I'm working on the update and trying to fit it in with my freelance stuff and Blackdirge Publishing releases. But I promise, it's on the way.

Thanks for reading.

Be glad you're dealing with demons and not devils... my soul is already promised to Asmodeus...

I think the Demons and Devils actually hire out to angels, the ranking of the souls in dispute. then, a common system of value is used, to see if a soul double-promised, is compared against who promised the soul, the owner, or some author, and the angels arbitrate the custody battle.

This is all done behind the scenes of course, and no self-respecting Demon or Devil would let on what is happening.

Well...
A soul promised to a devil (of any rank) will appear in the Nine Hells immediately upon death. A soul promised to a demon will have to be retrieved by the demon in question (or one of his underlings).

Thankfully, demons are rarely organized enough to know each and every soul promised to them well enough to know when that soul should be harvested.

I believe I missed an update somewhere?

Big Announcement!

Hi all,

I’ve got some pretty exciting news to relate to all of you regarding this storyhour. I just signed a contract with EN Publishing to produce three Dretch to Demon Lord novellas, complete with full-color art, game stats, professional editing, the whole nine yards. The first book will encompass most of what has already been written here, while the second two will continue the story of Hazergal, Hedrenatherax, Gemnez, and all the rest.

Now, I will of course have to make a number of changes to the story to make it compatible with the SRD, but don’t worry, the changes will in no way compromise the integrity of the story as it’s been written. Only a few characters will require any change at all, and I promise, you’ll barely notice. =]

The bad news, of course, is that I will no longer be able to update the storyhour here in this thread. But the good news is you won’t have to wait three months for a single update, you’ll get 25 updates all at once. =]

Morrus will be making the official announcement soon, but I wanted to tell you guys in person, and answer any questions you might have.

Excellent put me down for a full set, signed? Maybe? Maybe an extra couple of sets for some of my gaming buddies. Gotta check the discretionary account.

Congrats, when will the first one be out?

I'll sign anything.

The first book will be out this summer. No specifics dates yet, but i'm sure they will be announced as the books get closer to release.

Awesome! Now *this* is what the online gamer community is all about. Here's to hoping that we'll see similar announcements from Piratecat, Sagiro, (contact), Jolly Doc, and Sepulchrave.
