Summary: Just great
Review: I'm an In Nomine player from some small time ago, and I was looking at the reviews and found some stuff on Angels being non-offensive and Demons being more... Y'know. Well, in In Nomine you being an angel doesn't mean you have to pray 10 hours a day and only do good stuff. The great thing about this game is its flexibility, and also the amount of creativity and imagination it requires from both player and GM. If your an In Nomine player, you've got to get it. Quick.

Summary: Not for the faint at heart
Review: In Nomine creates a wonderful world where Heaven and Hell battle it out on the Earth as we know it in 1999 - ala "End of Days." The game mechanics are fairly similar to Gurps; but they don't get in the way of play - mechanics are there to assist the GM, not constrain her. One thing to note: this book DOES deal with adult themes - although Angels are easy (read NON OFFENSIVE,) the demons are just the opposite, and quite into the pains and pleasures of the flesh.

Summary: A good game but hard to find the right players
Review: In Nomine is easily in my top 3 of RPGs. The main problem with it is finding people who are CAPABLE of playing it. I've tried to run two In Nomine cammpaigns for my gaming friends and both have been disasters. Partly its my lack of skills as GM, but it is also players who lack any trace of subtlety. People want to play Malakim ( very warlike angels for you non-players ) and charge after every demon they see. I've tried to slap them down after they do this, as the demon's friends take revenge, but it becomes a cycle of B.S. that wrecks the campaign. I would love to find a group that I could play with, but my current group of frineds, who I enjoy gaming with, are not set up to play In Nomine. I figure it's their loss. Give the system a try, but be warned, it's not hack-and-slash.

Summary: A great Role Playing Setting
Review: In Nomine is one of the best RPG's I've seen in a long time. The setting is wonderfully rich and varied. What better way to simulate the battle between good and evil than the battle of Heaven vs. Hell? This is a great RPG, and even makes for interesting reading...if you like RPG's or just enjoy reading books with great settings this is a book for you

Summary: The best book!!!
Review: IN NOMINE it's a wonderful book. The war between hell and heaven it's amazing! And the best: you choose your side, good or evil.

Summary: Its SJG, and we all know what that means.
Review: Steve Jackson Games has done it again. They have taken an idea, and made it a very marketable product. They created/Adapted one of the greatest backgrounds for a game I have ever read. The richness and depth of the spectrum is barely touched by the core book, but that is still no small miracle. However, the curse of SJG lives. They create imagination capturing rich worlds and them match them with some, well -BAD- mechanics, so if you plan on playing get ready to adapt, fast. But this hardly detracts from the overwhelming value of the product. Marc was pleased.

Summary: A Concept Difficult to Grasp
Review: The game is good vs. evil - nothing new there! But the wrapping is definately different. A whole universe of angels and demons and more or less potenent (more less than more) mortals contesting in their, sometimes pathetic fashion, to gain the upper hand in a game beyond their comprehension - that is unless they are celestials (angels/demons). They, on the other hand know what is at stake and must therefore follow stringent rules of engagement while conducting a fierce battle for (or is it because of) all humnity. Being so stringent these rules make is nescecary for all celestials to be very inventive in order to succeed in the missions appointed to them. Both the master they serve and their own nature have certain rules of conduct that must be followed at all times. This matrix of celestial conduct and the need to make it work without stepping on anybodys toes is what is so fascinating about In Nomine. Believe me you must really have your wits with you to play this game...but is is worth it!!!
