<div class="bbWrapper">What is In Nomine? <br />
<br />
It's a roleplaying game where the players play angels and demons attempting to fulfil various agendas in the cold war between heaven and hell. <br />
<br />
The game is lighter than you'd expect from an epic struggle between good and evil, with a decent amount of humour written into it. Especially the demons, where it pays to be a horrible bastard to people.<br />
<br />
I'll be looking to run a demon game, if things go well I'll add an angel party to the game as well, but for now I'm looking for interested parties. As far as gameplay, the PCs will be a loosely allied group of demons operating within a city upon earth, each tying to fulfil their demon prince's agenda whilst striving to spread and protect the forces of darkness.<br />
<br />
I need to refresh myself a little of the game myself, so I'll leave you with one last thing. This is an except from the book, which details how each variety of demon would deal with the scenario in question. It helps to know more about the demons, but even without it, it's amusing.<br />

HOW EACH BAND OF DEMON WOULD GO ABOUT GETTING A MASSAGE<br />
<br />
A Balseraph would go into a massage parlor claiming to be a reviewer for Backrubs Monthly.<br />
<br />
Djinn couldn't care less about backrubs.<br />
<br />
A Calabite would turn to someone and say, "You know, when I get these knots in my muscles, it makes me want to break things."<br />
<br />
A Habbalite would torture someone with guilty feelings until he broke down and rubbed the demon's back.<br />
<br />
A Lilim would walk up to a stranger, bite her lip and say, "Don't you owe me a backrub?"<br />
<br />
A Shedite would possess one person, start him giving someone else a backrub, then move into the other person's body to enjoy the experience.<br />
<br />
An Impudite would rather give a backrub -- and take advantage of the opportunity to steal some Essence.

Another little taste from the book:<br />

In their celestial forms, Cherubim look like enormous, winged animals - lions, bears etc. suffused in golden haloes. Why Western artists began depitching them as cute, pudgy, winged babies several centuaries ago remains a mystery. The Cherubim were not amused; most suspect the Diabolicals' influence.
