GURPS IN primarily (and deliberately) duplicates the core IN rulebook material. Some small amount of material was added from other IN books (such as some of the additional Choir/Band abilities from APG/IPG), where a) it was rules-heavy or complex to convert, b) seemed important, and c) would fit. I think there are roughly a half-dozen places where this kind of material got included, usually a paragraph or so at most. The intent of GURPS IN is that you use it in place of the core IN book, and then use IN supplement material as needed. In some cases, there would be a lot of conversion work for the GM (L. Canticorum comes to mind), but mostly the IN supplements are background, not rules, and often the rules material in IN supplements would be replaced by existing GURPS rules, anyway. > As in, I know there's rules >for Grigori and Skulkers, Those would also be in the next-gen IN core rules, with the rest of the Choirs and Bands.

Bright Lilim aren't considered a major Choir (though they seem to be very popular anyway). None of the minor Choirs/Bands are covered. (Yes, Grigori/Skulkers are considered a major Choir/Band pair, since they are discussed moderately in the core rules. Same for Children of the Grigori/Nephalim. Note that Choir/Band attunements for these *aren't* in GURPS IN, though, just the basic Choir/Band mechanics, which is also what you effectively get for Bright Lilim.) This kind of stuff takes up enough space that it was left out; same with all the new Songs in L.Canticorum except for one or two really common/useful ones. As it was, GURPS IN had to have its page count increased before release. And 10+ pages of detailed mechanics breakdown got left on the cutting room floor (but was made available via the web site). >and stuff for Superiors like Magog and Khalid and such? Nope.

GIN has: Everything the main book has. Grigori (and Skulkers). A bit more about Soldiers, drawn from the CPG. None of the minor Superiors got writeups (though they do get mentioned), and Bright Lilim attunements are still only in FotM and the Superiors series of books. The Bands and Choirs got re-done a bit (the vignettes are all at least somewhat new, though two of them are clear nods to the original ones). I just got one person saying that the original main book, and the IPG didn't help him figure out what was going on in his Balseraph's head as much as the vignette from GIN, so I'm happy about that.

Doing approximately 300 of them was something else again. But I've recovered now. I think.)

Um... well... o_o;; depends on your campaign world! Yeah... that's it... (thanks the excuse of "depends on your campaign") ^_~ Seriously though, it really does depend.

(one through three) ...actually, new concept. Albums. Let me explain. No, that'll take too long. Let me put it this way: I took a musical album and wrote a Song for every track on it. The trick was to get the basic concept down for each Song before the track ended... Anyway, here they are. I'll write out the generic idea of Albums later: I'm thinking that they'd be somehow related, but I need to think about it. Oh, yeah. To avoid the wrath of Beth, I'll forestall guessing games: the album in question was Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy.* Moe *Yeah, I'm bummed out about it, too. :( Song of Rocking (Celestial) This Song causes anyone within range to, well, rock. Precisely what the word 'rock' means depends on the target: Servitors of Creation will start to dance and strut, while a Malakite of the Sword might only be capable of swaying from side to side in a fairly clueless manner. It depends on the context, really. At any rate, this sudden desire to rock has some interesting consequences: first off, it's bloody hard to do anything else (-2 to all rolls). However, if you can tune into the Symphony, or your own, it's worth the effort. Every combat round someone affected by this Song may choose to roll against either Perception (angelic and/or human) or Will (demonic and/or ethereal), at a minus equal to (Song/level +2). If they succeed, they can add the CD to all further rolls that turn; if they fail, they s u b tract the CD from all further rolls. Bonus: Ofanite, Calabite, Divine Fire, Infernal Fire Essence Requirement: 5 Range: CD yards (area) Duration: CD minutes Degree of Disturbance: 1 Numinous Corpus: Headless (Corporeal) Well, you don't really lose your head: it just turns invisible. This can be extremely terrifying to witness. Unfortunately, you can also no longer see: (-6 + song level) to all Perception and Precision rolls. This can be both terrifying and amusing, depending on the situation. Most people will respond to a headless person advancing towards them by running away: all social skills only succeed on a favorable Intervention. Unlike most Numinous Corpi, this Song can be used on others: the target has a straight -6 to Perception and Precision rolls, unless he or she also happens to know the Song. Bonus: Malakim, War, the War Essence Requirement: 1 Duration: CD hours Degree of Disturbance: 0 Song of Freakazoid (Ethereal) Anyone who gets targeted by this Song immediately loses his or her mental governor: the s u b ject will indulge all whims, desires and impulses, no matter how unusual and/or disgusting. Unfortunately, lots of people have some truly frightening things lurking in their s u b conscious, and this Song lets them all out to play. Think "bored U n s eelie Redcap" and you'll get an idea about how bad it can be. Even a genuinely nice person will have all of the attractiveness of a spoiled, petulant child. What makes this Song truly obnoxious is that the target is very likely to get away with it: those without Symphonic Awareness must roll against Perception to even notice that there's anything wrong! Fortunately (or unfortunately), they'll all remember what happened when the Song ends. Believe it or not, sometimes the Host finds this Song useful, provided that it's properly supervised... Bonus: Impudite, Habbalah, Hardcore Essence Requirement: 5 Duration: CD hours Degree of Disturbance: 2 ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 04/13/02(this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! News - Today's headlines http://news.yahoo.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 21:36:59 -0700 (PDT) From: Maurice Lane Subject: IN> New Songs... (four through six) Still with me? Good. Moe NC: Werewolf (Corporeal) This is the "anthropomorphic humanoid form" / "Lon Cheney, Jr. special" version: the target essentially becomes a wolfman. Add 1 to Strength (and s u b tract 1 from Precision) for every level of the Song. If the character also knows NC: Fangs, he adds it for free: use the higher of the Precision penalties. Speech becomes difficult, as well: -2 to all language rolls for the duration. Oddly enough, in the modern era you can use this Song in public, provided that you don't do anything like eat somebody: personality and Charisma are unaffected by this Song. People tend to assume that you're just going to a costume party: this may lead to acute embarrassment and petty annoyances, but it beats pitchforks and torches... Bonus: Kyriotates, Shedim, Animals Essence Requirement: 1 Duration: CD hours Degree of Disturbance: 0 Song of Isolation (Ethereal) Anyone targeted with this Song will not only feel isolated; he or she will be isolated. It takes a Will roll for anyone else to notice the person, react to them or whatnot. This can be both beneficial (if, say, you're being hunted) and problematic (if, say, you're trying to get a sucking gut wound looked at). This Song does not affect electronic recording equipment, incidentally. There is one exception to the above: the person closest to the target will not be affected. This can lead to extra cruelty, when the beloved is absent... Bonus: Grigori, Skulkers, Song, the Game Essence Requirement: 3 Duration: CD days Degree of Disturbance: CD Song of Yearning (Celestial) Anyone influenced by this Song must make an immediate Will Roll (at a minus equal to the level of the Song); if he or she fails, the target will feel compelled to seek out his or her most profound desire. This can be difficult if the person doesn't know what that desire actually is, but people usually work it out eventually. The target may continue to roll every day against straight Will: if the target makes (CD) rolls in a row, then he or she can break the compulsion. This may not actually end the quest, of course. Bonus: Seraphim, the Wind, Theft Essence Requirement: 2 Duration: indeterminate Degree of Disturbance: CD ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 04/13/02(this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

(seven through nine) Need I say that comments are welcome? Moe Song of Escape (Celestial) This Song allows someone to get someone else out of trouble... for a price. Anyone under the influence can designate up to (Corporeal Forces) individuals as to be saved from whatever danger currently confronts them - if the target freely chooses to give up his or her own life in exchange. If the bargain is made, the Symphony does its level best to keep up its end: the individuals so blessed add their Forces to all rolls made until they are Truly safe from the danger that necessitated the Song in the first place. This sacrifice cannot be evaded, rules-lawyered and/or prevented: also, if the target is a celestial, the 'death' involved is the True one... Bonus: Cherubim, Lilim, Trade Minimum Essence Requirement: 4 Duration: indeterminate Degree of Disturbance: none Song of Insight (Ethereal) This Song causes the target to temporarily clear away all preconceived notions about one topic (chosen by the performer when the Song is performed). This condition is much like the standard Elohite operating mindset, except that the target can still act s u b jectively in other matters. Also, use of this Song adds its level to all attempts by the target to shake off a Balseraphic and/or Habbalite resonance. Bonus: Elohim, Djinn, Knowledge Essence Requirement: 3 Duration: CD minutes Degree of Disturbance: CD Song of Lawyers, Gu n s and Money (Corporeal) This is a last ditch Song: indeed, it activates automatically. "Performing" it costs 6 Essence (and, if you don't have that much Essence, it'll take it out of your hide - 1 Body Hit for every point below 6). It does the following things: 1) Automatic use of the Celestial Song of Tongues to the nearest Triad, with the message of "Send Lawyers, Gu n s and Money to X and Y" - 'X' being longitude and 'Y' being latitude - "the shit has hit the fan." This even happens with non-angels, amusingly enough. 2) A fully loaded set of Colt .45 revolvers will appear in the target's hands. Hope he knows how to use them. 3) $(CD x 500) dollars in the local currency will appear in a sack at the targets' feet. Incidentally, this song is very, very LOUD. Bonus: Mercurians, Balseraphs, Trade, the Media Essence Requirement: 6 Degree of Disturbance: 6x CD ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 04/13/02(this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Harder to get a good speed on an adult duck, but you can really put some English on the ball when you're dealing with a duckling...
