I hope this gets to the right people. I am running a COC game next year for Kapcom here in NZ (which Chaosium is supporting). The game is based in the 1890s and I intend to use famous people of that time, eg, HG.Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe etc. I am still doing some research, but have Chaosium produced stats on these characters and others that may be available. thankyou in advance.

In one game it convinced a potential soldier to serve far more than the angels were showing him about what they were fighting--song of projection was used up one tether and down another to show him what they were fighting. Originally intended for that to convince him, but the player said after the game, it was the glimpse of Heaven in between tethers that was the defining moment. > > Jeff =) Come visit where part of my insanity manifest at JCT; a very non-canon In Nomine is placed in the 23rd century setting of the Jovian Chronicles. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jctrinityRPG > - -- > _______________________________________________ > Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com > > Powered by Outblaze > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 09:42:49 -0500 > From: EDG > Subject: In the minds of men (was Re: IN> Remembrances-Another version) > > At 09:13 AM 11/13/2002 -0500, Cameron McCurry wrote: > > >In the meantime, Jason has taken to math and science with the zeal of a > >convert.

I also agree with your view that Malakim aren't forced to slay every demon the moment they meet them, especially if there's a reasonable (even if rather small) shot at redemption. - -- Rev.

Attunements: Habbalite of Dark Humor, Demon of Quoting The Whole Damn Thing Demon of QTWDT: Jolar gains 1 Essence whenever he spends more than five minutes quoting from a single, unbroken source in front of at least as many people as he has Celestial Forces. He gains 1 additional Essence if he is not interrupted whatsoever. This can only be used once per day. It is said that when Jolar petitioned for a Word at only nine Forces, Lucifer laughed - whereupon Jolar began quoting the regulations he'd discovered in Kronos's Archives, in full, at length, regarding who could and could not be - and, further, who had and had not been - granted a Word. It is said that it was only several days later, when he finished quoting the text (and long after Lucifer had left), that he realized that he had been given a Word after all. Jolar is not a particularly ambitious demon; his intelligence runs mostly to memory, and his only goal is to spend as much of his life quoting other material as possible and maybe, just maybe, expand into the Word of Full Text. His current purpose in life is simply to irritate people; he knows it always bothers people when he knows more than they do, and will consider himself to have found a worthy rival (or ally) when he discovers the person who can quote for as long as he can without error. Recent Roles for Jolar have included famed scientist Anne Elk and at least one member of the United States Senate; the Habbalite absolutely adores the concept of the filibuster. (Obviously, Jolar is likely only suited for use in a somewhat silly campaign.) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2002 06:24:37 -0800 (PST) From: Maurice Lane Subject: Re: IN> A minor Word-Bound NPC - --- Christopher Anthony wrote: > Three guesses where this came from. > > -EDG > Nice NPC, but there's one small problem.

Which book has detailed information on the > offspring of celestial/human matings? This is dealt with in the Corporeal Player's Guide. (The section on crossbreeds starts on p. 74.) The Children of the Grigori are a special case, simply because the Grigori can interbreed with mortals without the aid of the Celestial Song of Fruition. In general, a crossbreed does not outwardly differ from his mortal parent, although he may inherit one or more of a number of special abilities and attributes that seem to spring from his celestial parent. > 2. Can Lilith shuffle Geas hooks as well as actual > Geasae? I think this is actually what is meant by "shuffling Geases". I would, in fact, question Lilith's ability to move active Geases more than I would her ability to move inactive hooks. - -EDG ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2002 14:25:42 -0600 From: "Gregg Forge" Subject: Re: IN> A minor Word-Bound NPC >Jolar >Habbalite of Dark Humor >Demon of Quoting The Whole Damn Thing > I must create his nemesis, now.
