In Nomine

In Nomine

by Derek Pearcy

In Nomine is a modern roleplaying game in which the players take the part of celestial beings - angels and demons - as they struggle for control of humanity and themselves. The celestials, powerful though they may be, are merely pawns in a much larger game being played by their Superiors, the Archangels and Demon Princes. Based on the best-selling French RPG by the wonderfully diabolical Croc!

[Carlos Adao]

Uma leitura bem divertida e relativamente leve. Um RPG bastante marcado pela sua época de publicação original, especialmente na arte e diagramação. Aqueles acostumados com RPGs mais modernos irão sentir que as regras são mais complexas do que o necessário e a explicação fica um pouco difusa ao longo do livro, faltando algumas páginas com resumos ou referências. Apesar destes pontos, o cenário ebasyante imaginativo e apresentado de uma maneira atraente e dinâmica deixando o leitor empolgado em mergulhar nas ideias mostradas ali.

Biblical allegory in role-playing game form. If you don't fear eventually burning in hell this game might be for you. The story pieces are well conceived but the mechanics of the system are often at odds with one another, and wildly inconsistent. Expect to have a list of house rules, depending on the type of game you're planning.

[Alex Cunningham]

This is not a roleplaying game book. This is an exciting attempt to reconcile Christian mythologies, postmodern angst, and the conflicting human desires to accept and abolish mystery. "In Nomine" is a fun game. But it's also the best socio-religious litmus test that never really took off.

Alas, In Nomine -- if only it had been marketed better, I think it could have really been big, especially given today's "urban fantasy" craze.

In Nomine is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Now, if only I could find a group to play with . . .

[Shannon Haddock]

The concept is fascinating; the system is interestingly quirky; but the organization of this book is so horrid that it made me knock two stars off my rating.
