I wrote up Paranoia — old school Paranoia — for In Nomine once, and now I have the files again. I’ll be putting up the stuff that I did back then over the next few days. It needs… a little tightening up, honestly. Sometimes I can get away with proof-reading, sometimes I need to do a bit more. This is a ‘bit more’ kind of situation.

In Nomine Revisted: Pentacostco.com

This one I had to edit a little.

The computer revolution (particularly the Internet) has not been a completely positive development, from the point of view of Heaven. On the one hand, it allows all sorts of people to come together in new and interesting ways, to accomplish things that they never could by themselves; on the other hand, well, it allows all sorts of people to come together in new and interesting ways, to accomplish things that they never could by themselves. Free will can be maddening at times, especially when you have only an empirical understanding of it. This might partially explain why the relevant section of the Heavenly Host immediately targeted Pentacostco.com from Day One, and will continue to target it until somebody gets the hint; it may not be all that important, but it’s something that they can actually strike at, by God.

In Nomine Revisited: Ducks.

Ducks – Google Docs Download

Ducks
Corporeal Forces: 1 Strength: 2 Agility: 2
Ethereal Forces: 0 Intelligence: 1 Precision: 1
Celestial Forces: 0 Will: 0 Perception: 1
Advantages: Toughness/2 (Ducks seem to shrug off bullets, as any hunter will tell you. They’re always finding ducks with old gunshot wounds, believe it or not.)
Body Hits: 6
Skills: Dodge/4, Fighting/4, Flying/6, Swimming/3

This is, like, you know, a duck. It quacks, swims, and flies. It pecks for a straight 2 Body Hits per attack, presuming that you somehow annoy it enough. Ducks usually don’t go looking for trouble, though. Indeed, the only reason why I even bothered with this write-up is that, sometimes, trouble goes looking for them.

In Nomine Revisited: Flying Albino Flaming Bouncing Cyborg Subterranean Cave Monkeys… OF DOOM!!!!! [In Nomine]

So. It might surprise some of you to hear that, back in the day, I had a certain reputation for sometimes writing somewhat odd things. I know, I know. One wonders how such scandalous rumors could possibly start.

Some Notes on an Alternate Conception of Hell for In Nomine.

I’ve had this blessed thing half-finished and lost to human sight for years. And then I had the files back, and it’s gonna get sent out for the amusement of an indifferent world, and I don’t care I’m posting it anyway. In Nomine was always my RPG jam.

I really wanted to fix the original typo. Gah. It grated on me.

I… I found the In Nomine hard drive.

I bought the Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) more or less as a dang lark; I knew that the relevant hard drives were fried, but I wanted to double check before I started pricing just how much I couldn’t afford a drive recovery, you know? But it worked! It worked on the first try, and now I have back all of my In Nomine files, to about 2009 or so. Which pretty much means that I have them all.

I may or may not have celebrated by going into the kitchen and having a shot of tequila.

One of the entertaining things about In Nomine world-building for me was playing with the way that the core game concept could handily scupper the materialist-scientific worldview. As I would sometimes point out: in that campaign universe the most insightful and accurate theorist in the 20th Century when it came to the origins of the human race was Erich von Daniken. You can get some entertaining campaign seeds that way, particularly when your players are trying to make sure that the laws of physics keep ‘working’ properly around the unaware human researchers.
