In Nomine (role-playing game)

Role-Playing Games

In Nomine is a role-playing game designed by Derek Pearcy and published in 1997 by Steve Jackson Games. It is based on the French game In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas. Players typically assume the roles of angels and demons in a setting that draws heavily from traditional Christianity, so that play centres on the supernatural struggle between celestial and infernal forces rather than on ordinary human adventurers. The source names Derek Pearcy as the designer and Steve Jackson Games as the publisher of the 1997 release, and identifies the French game In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas as the design on which it is based, so that the setting of a struggle between angels and demons has an earlier French origin.
