I am legitimately surprised I never put this up before (I wrote it something like twenty years ago). That was always the fun thing about In Nomine: the French version of the RPG might have been deeply satirical, but the American version always had plenty of room for meaningful religious sentiment. While still being heretical as all get-out, of course. But if Rudyard Kipling’s allowed to write religious fanfic, then so am I…

As a long-ago resident of the same IN mailing list and a huge fan of pretty much everything you posted on it, I’m super glad you put this puppy up again. Doubly tickling for those of us who knew the lore and your particular canon and figured out which particular angels they *were*. 😉
Glad you managed to recover all your old IN files because losing ’em would have been a tragedy. Hope to see some more some time– the Pennsic Superior opinions were a hoot but I never managed to save that one. Take care!
It was blind luck: I had a spare hard drive that I thought was fried, but I had an external drive reader. It turned out the drive wasn’t fried after all; and that I had saved all* the In Nomine files on it.
*Almost. I can’t in good conscience put Tattered Symphony up; I don’t know where 9/10 of the people who worked on it ended up, and I don’t remember entirely who did what on it.
Blind luck’s better than no luck; I’m just glad you found ’em all. I should’ve saved stuff from the stormloader site before it went kaput, but more fool me for not doing so. Trying to go through the SJG mailing lists to find pertinent bits is a pain in the rump.
And hell, I’ll take what you provide; I’ve always been much more a fan of your lighter-hearted IN stuff, not to mention your (IMO, much more three-dimensional) takes on particular Superiors.. There’s at least a couple of people I know of (okay, me, and I’m still in contact with Matt Gerber) who remember it all fondly.
Cool, and thanks! Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’re looking for.
