Greetings, puny mortals. I am Lord Orcus, longtime god of various Underworlds (but not the movies– I haven’t been able to handle being sued since around 522 CE, so I always have to mention this). At some point in various conversations with friends and worshipers I decided to try out this Internets thing and post about my life, both through pictures and blog-words.

Yes, some of my worshipers are “NPCs”. I take what I can get, okay?

My buddies Nergal and Demogorgon have offered to assist at some point, and if we’re really lucky, maybe Velia Tarchnal will get some time off from the call center. But all in due time. I still have a lot to learn from my human servants Ryan, Josh and Steve. I heard this fellow named Julio will be helping out with my wardrobe, costume, and make-up. He’s probably the best of the bunch. I can tell. Just look at me so far! I’m pretty good looking.

Some of you, especially those of you who are far geekier than all of my god and daemon pals put together, may notice I ditched the beard. Yeah, it just wasn’t doing it for me. Got itchy, too. Some of you have asked me where my wand is. Look, it’s not like Demo says– that wands are for pussies– no. I’ve never had a wand. Sure, some other guy named Orcus is running around with a wand and beard ordering around the undead. I wish I could do that these days. Undead, though stinky, are quite fun to play with. All I have are Tom, Dick and Harry.

We’ll get to them later.

As for that other Orcus, you’re damned right I bust him out in some games I run. He’s a badass, that one.

I noticed Steve mentioned that I would be emerging in my Ville here within a month. I felt it would be unfair for me to just let time fly by without me posting some. I’ll try my hand at blogging soon, as well. I wonder how bad I can screw it up. Let’s find out!

For now, this is what Steve calls a “promo spot”. Whatever that is. It looks to me like he’s too damned lazy to throw a strip together. Come on, Steve, how hard can it be?

Comic Note: I got the idea for this while talking to Nerg the other day. It was right after he “Nerg Rushed” me while playing some Gangs of Mega-City One, totally kicking my ass. Again. I yelled at him about how I break out in hives every time we wargame and he told me that would make an okay promo spot. So there you go.
