An imported game from France. In Nomine is the game of angels and devils; characters are literally agents from On High or Down Below, out to promote the Word of their Superior and faction (not always the same thing). There's in-fighting and disputes in Heaven, and Hell is much worse. For those intrigued by the idea of playing out the Christian struggle in a mature manner, this is the game for that.

An In Nomine superior book that gets the tones of the Superiors right. There are a few quibbles here and there, but it's pretty much everything I could have hoped for out of a short work about Asmodeus.

It doesn't tell us why Eli is wandering. This is likely nigh one of the last books to be published in the line, so why don't you spill the secrets? Various ideas are tossed forth, though, none of which grabbed me as I want to run this.

The tone of a several thousand year old archangel is hard to capture, and I don't think they did it when quoting the archangels or demon princes. I'm having an especially hard time swallowing the voice for Eli. It would have to be an affection... but what isn't when dealing with intensely political creatures? It does fail for me as a voice of the Word of Creation; words are part of art, and Eli's speech should be works of art.

Besides that, it seems that they captured the reaction of his servitors and the heavenly community well. I found the parts that took Eli as an enigma and showed the world responding to that realistic and useful.
