Empire Of Satanis is a free RPG invented by Derrick Dishaw, in which you play a Fiend-"part demon, alien and human". You live in the city of Frier, in the kingdom of K'thana (the titular Empire of Satanis) in the Yidathroth universe. Despite being the ruler of K`thana, Satanis is not the only hell-god, and the player has the potential to be one.

The game has a lot of RealitySubtext: Dishaw believed in a mix of Satanism, chaos magic and the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, leading to him trying to place a curse on people who panned ''Empire Of Satanis''.

* HollywoodVoodoo: In this setting, voodoo is not a religion but instead consists of cutting off limbs and using them to magically wound them.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Implied by the possibility of human-Fiend hybrids, seeing as the races include toad-infested trees and praying mantises who fly through space.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Here, demons are a race of Nietzcheans who make war on other planets and worship Satanis.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Dourge are typical fantasy dwarves but [[RecycledINSPACE IN HELL!]]
* OurMonstersAreWeird: Many of the races of Fiends, such as the Zibza, who resemble black trees covered in toad heads.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The Sairmenow are "draconic, troglyditic swamp zombies" who create magic puppets and have out-of-body experiences.
* PurpleProse: Oh yes. Combined with all the bizarre names, reading this can be quite a challenge.
