Re: Looking For Group
Uncharted territory to explore, I think! Personally, I'd make the sponsoring Superior behind that mission either someone very gutsy (e.g., Michael) or someone who would find it to be an appropriately hilarious death sentence for his Servitors (e.g., Kobal).

Re: Looking For Group
I can't remember where I read it (it's decidedly not my own idea), but by far my favorite idea for Lucifer's Word was "Me" in opposition to God's Word, "I AM".

One potential view is that Lucifer's word is STILL Light, with the metaphorical twist that he's exposing and illuminating the dark side of the Symphony.

Re: Looking For Group
Oh, I think I figured out why my idea of the Symphony is a little off. I am taking inspiration from the movie Constantine and its portrayal of a "Balance" between Heaven and Hell. In my mind, and in any games I may or may not run in the future, a lot of Celestial beings will be uneasy with messing with the Symphony (possibly with Demons being less uneasy than Angels).
P.S. Now that I think about it, Lucifer possessing a human female to have a half-Celestial child also sounds like a really cool campaign plot. P.P.S. Also, what if a human wanted to attune himself to a Superior? Could a Geas be involved that gives him an attunement? Would he need to cut out his own Heart to give to the Superior (possibly in payment for the Geas)? I think I have too many ideas.

Re: Looking For Group
although occasionally an angel will willingly offer to donate a Force to a human that they like and Demon Princes sometimes toss Forces from Servitors they were dismantling anyway onto the "pile" of Forces available to demons performing Oathtaking on new Soldiers of Hell, so it does happen.

Re: Looking For Group
I am still looking for a game to join. It doesn't necessarily have to be on these forums, either.

Re: Looking For Group
No luck setting anything up in your local community? In my group of friends, folks are so reluctant to GM (mostly due to an unfounded fear of inability to run a "good story") that whoever volunteers to GM something basically gets to choose the game. I've also been surprised to find how many of my friends and friends-of-friends are interested in trying out RPGs they've never played before, so I now have more In Nomine players around here than I know what to do with. (Two one-shots for separate groups of newbies this month!) Once you get some folks into it, you may even be able to sucker some of them into GMing some one-shots so you get a chance to play too. It worked for me!
