In Nomine Revisited: Elementalism.
Elementalism
This odd version of Sorcery is new — so new, in fact, that neither Heaven nor Hell has noticed it yet. Note the use of the word ‘yet.’ After the smoke clears, most researchers on both sides are going to find the entire nature of Elementalism to be highly confusing. It’s clear that the skills and rituals listed below are Sorcerous: the requirements for users are the same as for regular Sorcerers, and the disciplines seem to draw upon the intersection of human will and the Symphony in roughly the same way.
It’s just that nobody will be quite ready to believe that comic books can be a legitimate route to apotheosis.

Beliar is like a clown, really: he only smiles on the outside. Inside, he cries. Admittedly, said crying is usually along the lines of “Will those God-damned talking monkeys please stop BOTHERING me?!”, but it still sort of counts.

‘Infernal Security and the Grand Luciferian Charter’ [In Nomine]
Infernal Security and the Grand Luciferian Charter – Google Docs
Infernal Security and the Grand Luciferian Charter
The public face of Infernal Security (which is the semi-public face of the Game, which is the ever-shifting manifestation of Asmodeus, its Prince) recently decided on a new strategy that alternately terrifies and infuriates those demons that have gotten caught up by said strategy. To wit: InfSec currently now enforces, in an almost-not arbitrary fashion, a document called the ‘Grand Luciferian Charter.’ For those demons who weren’t paying attention during the dumb parts of their training: the Charter is a set of regulations — issued by the Lightbringer himself — that prohibits egregious torture and unwarranted destruction of damned souls. While archaic, the Charter is, as the Gamesters themselves cheerfully note, an official part of the Rules, and ignorance of the Rules is no excuse.

Cult of the Corn Dog [In Nomine]
This Infernal-dominated organization is the epitome of how Dark Humor thinks: to wit, the Cult of the Corn Dog is an actual evil cult that is masquerading as a online group of sarcastic mockers who are just pretending to be an evil cult. It’s a clever conceit, really. It’s calculated to get the talking monkeys both coming, and going.

Fate-Stealers, Incorporated
On first glance, it might seem counterintuitive for Hell to permit an organization whose primary, publicly-stated goal is to deliberately make it harder for Servitors of Fate to do their jobs (which is, after all, to drag people down to Hell). It also seems that way on second, third, and subsequent glances, too; which is why both Kronos (Prince of Fate) and Asmodeus (Prince of the Game) keep petitioning Lucifer to let them shut down Fate-Stealers. And then plow the ground with the Infernal equivalent of salt, most likely.
In Nomine Revisited: Rocket’s Red Glaring.
I wrote this decades ago, and I flatter myself that it is not entirely wretched. For those wondering, ‘Nybbas’ is the Demon Prince of the Media in the In Nomine RPG, and he’s everything that you would expect of a Demon Prince whose specialty is popular entertainment. Fun to write, too. You’ll figure out who the good guy is, of course.
In Nomine Revisited: Mimeurgy.
I dunno. Like so many other things I’ve written, it seemed a good idea at the time.
Mimeurgy
The practitioners of this Sorcery claim that its history stretches all the way back to the early Roman Empire. This is, broadly speaking, true. They also claim that the secrets of Mimeurgy have been passed down to the present day in an unbroken line of esoteric wisdom, teacher to student, since that time. This is unambiguously false: the modern incarnations of the Mimerugic Circles owe their origins to the members of a dubious Metuchen, New Jersey social club and part-time illegal casino that operated during the 1950s. Hell likes to reactivate Mimeurgy every so often; they find it fairly simple to fake an appropriate historical record. Continue reading In Nomine Revisited: Mimeurgy.
The Man-Factory [In Nomine]
Man-Factory (Domain) – Google Docs
The Man-Factory (Domain)
Aspected (Society)
Appearance: the Man-Factory started off looking like a wide mountain valley with plenty of shade trees, babbling brooks, and various educational buildings and workshops. That was back then; these days the mountains have been carved into an endless series of contradictory propaganda slogans and symbols, the trees were all cut down years ago to allow clear fields of fire for the guard towers, and the buildings have been extensively retrofitted with barred windows and general oppression. The worst part is that the weather is still always pleasant and the brooks still babble, even when there’s another wave of corpses floating down them. And if there are any of the original ethereals around from when Mark Twain inadvertently created the concept of the Man-Factory, they’re extremely good at hiding.
