Choose your side carefully.... In Nomine® is a Role Playing Game produced by the good people of Steve Jackson Games. Set in the modern day, In Nomine is the saga of the war of Heaven and Hell, where Angels and Demons strive for the hearts of mankind in the age old contest of Destiny against Fate. It sounds rather simplistic. It isn't. Oy, but it isn't. In Nomine manages to pull something remarkable off. It manages to realistically portray the war of Angels and Devils in a universe where Good and Evil are hard to define. By taking the dichotomy between Selflessness and Selfishness as the foundation of the battle, In Nomine manages to let Demons be decent and Angels be right bastards, while retaining the core elements of the game and of Biblical, Jewish and Islamic mythology. It's addictive, I warn you. My In Nomine Resources Here are a few In Nomine resources I've managed to generate in my time, often in articles written for the In Nomine Mailing List under the somewhat unintentional name of "Whistling in the Dark." Akim: Archangel of Pride. A "House Archangel" for the Wings In Nomine setting THE Mason Kramer and I have set up and are playing with. Akim and Jez: For those who like visual aids, R. Craig Enslin -- artboy for hire and the brainchild behind Mystic Mayhem games -- has graciously taken my hard earned cash and drawn Akim and Jez, Mason Kramer's Demon Princess of Investment. In vessels, naturally. Glastonbury Abbey: A Tether written up for "A Night On Glastonbury" below, but which can easily be adapted for other campaigns as needed. A Night on Glastonbury: A longish fiction piece in progress and beginnings of a Net.Book on an Arthurian Variant for In Nomine. Servitors of Judgment: Behind the Music. This is a short fiction piece I wrote up in reaction to a lot of the Dominic bashing that goes on in the In Nomine community. It was well received. Seraphs and Truth: My first piece included in the In Nomine Collection. A ditty about the difference between evasion and lying, with a rather nice musical metaphor buried in there. The Wings: A touch of organization for a local campaign. Other Peoples' In Nomine Links of Note These are the In Nomine links, works and sites that really make me sit up and take notice. The Official In Nomine Home Page: Steve Jackson Games's official In Nomine home, with information about In Nomine and In Nomine products, ordering information and Links Links Links! SJGames is amazingly cool about supporting fan sites and projects for In Nomine, and the fans have responded. The In Nomine Collection: As a proof of how cool Steve Jackson Games is, I present the In Nomine Collection. Maintained by Emily Dresner and Beth "Archangel" McCoy, this is a collection of fan suggestions, articles and resources maintained on SJGames's own server. With everything from the apocalyptic Dark Victory variant IN universe to new Demon Princes to "How Superiors React To Being Hit In The Face By A Halibut." If you like In Nomine, this should be your second home. The In Nomine Character Encyclopedia: Another invaluable resource for all things In Nomine -- this time in terms of characters. A comprehensive list of all Canon In Nomine characters. Strongly recommended for writers who want some idea of what's been done before. Obligatory Amazon.com links for buying good IN stuff. Look. I have them, and so does everyone else. Look at it this way -- if you're not going to buy IN from your local game store (and you should) and you're not going to buy it off of Steve Jackson Games's web site (which will be faster) then these links will get you what you're looking for, and I'll get a miniscule taste of the action. On the other hand, the recommended books underneath the In Nomine Source Materials are just as easy to get from Amazon.com as anywhere else, and once again, this way I make some semblance of cash on the deal for taking the time to recommend them. In Nomine: The core rules. You will need this before the rest of this entire site will make any sense at all. Highly recommended on general principle. Angelic Player's Guide and Infernal Player's Guide (no Amazon.com link): More in depth materials on the art of being Celestial. Recommended if you plan to do any major IN campaigning. The Dictionary of Angels by Gustav Davidson. A phenomenal resource for anyone interested in Angels, Demons, Judeo-Christian Mythology or Islamic Mythology. Written in a clear voice without prejudice as a scholarly work, this book will change the way you look at In Nomine or anything else.
