Sadly, the local gamestore is unlikely to have a hardcopy of the In Nomine rules. The most recent, third printing edition is entirely PDF. ( http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG30-3301 )

However, for some various examples of play that have URLs I can access easily...

http://homepages.tcp.co.uk/~maya/nomine/fiat.html
http://www.io.com/~arcangel/GamingWarStories/SSO.html (Involves taking certain aspects of the "canon" -- the established universe -- and twisting them till they're crosseyed)

For some free browsing stuff...

http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=5737 (for the more detailed stats and some extra discussion)

The Game Master's Guide has a whole section on, heh, guidelines for how "black and white" or "shades of gray" one wants one's setting. (Contrast, Brightness, and humor are the ones it covers, IIRC.) It makes the core rules much more flexible...

Must go get food for child soon. She's doing interrupts here...

Glad to have a new In Nomine fan, Hari.

No one commented on the stupid pics I posted. *sniffle*

;)

I liked that one with the little kitten and the gun. Cute, almost painfully so, its a memorable picture. Its begging for a really good story.

Take from spybusters.com:

"Like this cat was watchin' me, man."
Acoustic Kitty was a CIA project launched in the 1960s attempting to use cats in spy missions. A battery and a microphone were implanted into a cat and an antenna into its tail. Due to problems with distraction, the cat's sense of hunger had to be removed in another operation. Surgical and training expenses are thought to have amounted to over 10 million British pounds.

The first cat mission was eavesdropping on two men in a park outside the Soviet compound on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C.. The cat was released nearby, but was hit and killed by a taxi almost immediately. Shortly thereafter the project was considered a failure and decided to be a total loss.

So that explains it.

My ability to comment is limited by the attention-demanding child... The Tarot card there makes my eyes go all o.O O.o O.O, though, due to odd dreams from long-ago, and a bit of friends-locked fanfic...

Dear me.

Neat.

'tis very, and... O_O wow! Those are some professional-quality pictures. Looking around the rest of your journal, the very last sample you have under Commissions is very close to what I'd picture a stretch of the Marches looking like, with its dreamscape-bubbles everywhere.

Thanks for the compliments. I've done a bit of practice, and hope to go pro someday (even submitted my portfolio to SJ games, but don't tell anyone).

I'm still figuring my way around In Nomine and will most likely have questions about character creation later, and in another thread.

Any suggestions for Angelic or Diabolic character type illustrations are always welcome, as I'm always looking for fresh ideas to doodle out.

:D

Good luck on the portfolio. (I have about zip-all influence, so please don't read that as sarcastic or wink-wink. O:> )

As for things that would bemuse me, personally and selfishly... There are not nearly enough pictures of Kyriotates in the world. (Just remember that disclaimer up there; it's not me artists need to impress until after they've gotten past the art director. And maybe not even then.)

Quick update to a previous article in this thread: the Roxy, a roller hall proposed as a Tether for Creation, has now shut down.
