Not In Nomine, But...

[Archangel Beth]

Okay, I'm abusing my power here, I admit it.

1: An internet friend is doing a kickstarter to make a physical copy of her book, A Rosary of Stones and Thorns.

As you might guess, there are angels in it. And Fallen angels. It's not IN, really. The closest it comes, in GMG terms, is...

IN Backwards, Bright, Low Contrast

. But I found certain bits rather amusing, and it might be an interesting resource for certain types of games. Or a really evil resource if you run a game where

Spoiler:  

you're doing Secret IN Backwards, where Lucifer is a hostage/prisoner of the Princes, who intended to sacrifice his closeness to God in order to keep those who met their fates from dissipating (prior, er, fate of the fate-finding...) and hopefully find some way to rehabilitate them! Kobal was supposed to be his helper (walked with God...) but has used his secret knowledge (Name of God!) to perform the binding of Lucifer.

PCs get to decide if they want to find a way to free the Lightbringer... And will any Archangels believe them, after this long? Perhaps attempting this is the true sin of the Grigori, who somehow uncovered the truth...

If you don't want to fund a physical book without knowing what you're getting into, well, it's available online for free. Or you can get the ebook from Amazon or Smashwords.

And, because this is the IN forum... Discussion of this (or other angel-heavy) books in IN terms would certainly be on-topic. O;> Remember to use {spoiler} {/spoiler} tags (with, y'know, square brackets instead of curly braces) for spoilers!

Intriguing. I'll nose on over to look at it.

As for IN-like media, I've found the Australian movie "Gabriel" to be quite interesting. In GMG terms, it is...

Spoiler:  

Forwards, Very Very Dark, and Low Constrast

...but it is most provocative from an IN point of view for its incorporation of many key IN mechanics, including implying the use of Essence (and its low/negligible rate of replenishment), the existence of disturbance (particularly disturbance associated with Essence expenditure), and the difference between an angel's normal state and how he feels in a Vessel, although of course none of those terms are used. If you ever wanted to know what angels without hope or noir-esque demons would look like, look no further than this movie.
