About the adventure
All of creation is a song, a symphony of wonder. Angels sing with the majestic notes of the symphony, following its notes to greater glories. Demons bend the symphony to their will, causing discordant notes to erupt from the song. And even some mortals, can hear the barest whisper of its melodies. Ever since the fall, there has been a war raging over the symphony, the song of creation. Heaven & Hell have their generals, calling the shots as the superior celestials in this conflict. But this isnt a story about God or the Devil. No this is a story about you, the rank & file celestials serving on both sides. Whether your an angel or a demon, you share one thing in common. You got marching orders, & you have been sent to earth to carry them out. Those orders have sent you to the front lines of the war, New York City, the Big Apple. Sinners & saints lay around ever corner, from the slums of hells kitchen, to the high power wolves on wall street. Only thing is, sometimes both sides have the same goals, especially when there are forces at work that want to bring it all down around your ears & break the symphony. In the city that never sleeps, even angels & demons gotta trust someone with their back, & sometimes in the war you make strange friends & even stranger enemies
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
We currently have 2 angels & 1 renegade demon character. New players will be required to attend a 1 on 1 onboarding session outside of the scheduled game time.
Additional details
How to prepare
A discord account with quality microphone that allows for clear communication without undue background noise & a stable internet connection. Those who are operating on mobile hot spots will not be fast enough to stay connected with foundry. A PC that can meet the requirements to run Foundry Virtual Tabletop. Netbooks & chrome books I have found in the past do not meet meet these requirements. Familiarity with the In Nomine RPG rules is good but not required.
What I provide
I will be supplying the Foundry VTT for use with our game, with all the basic rules of In Nomine input into it. Full custom graphics & NPC interfaces I've programed for it specifically.
Gameplay details
This campaign will be utilizing the In Nomine RPG by steve jackson games, where players will create angels, demons or mortals that are caught up in the ongoing conflicts between heaven & hell. This would be a semi serious campaign with some campy elements, with inspirations such as John Constaintine, & a dash of good omens for humor. In Nomine has a pulpy 90s comic book style to it, so there is alot of room for good role play, action & suspense! Most sessions will be a mixture of investigation, role playing & combat depending on where the current plot line is going. Combat is also very dangerous & realistic, so characters becoming injured or close to death isnt impossible. Sexual content will always fade to black if it occurs, & will never occur between player characters unless all involved players consent. Lines & veils will also be honored & set up ahead of the chronicle via discord chat, so that I can fine tune any plot content to avoid things players may not want to face in game. Additionally, I am always online via my discord both during & outside of game should you need to bring something to my attention, whether thats a veil thats being approached too close or something makes you uncomfortable.

How will character creation work
Character generation will occur during a zero session with everyone present. This is as much to make sure we all mesh as a group of people as it is to make the characters, backgrounds & get everyones equipment setup. We will also discuss lines & veils for the game(please Private message me ahead of time if your uncomfortable with expressing these in a live chat). For those that join later, a one on one zero session will be scheduled outside of the normal game time to make you a character. Afterwards communication & further background info will be conducted with everyone via a discord channel on the server I use. No character's will be approved prior to the zero session. This includes pre-generated characters, & all players will be required to meet the same character creation expectations of the table, which may vary from group to group.
