The rules state that once a day the host gets a perception roll to realise he's not in control. The mechanics of this and the consequences are clear enough. My question is, if the host does become aware of the possession by a Shedite can the host and Shedite communicate? If so, to what extent?

Saminga's ultimate goal may be that everyone and everything should be dead, but fear of death is also a part of his Word, I think. Also, even if the goal was to kill everyone it doesn't have to be Saminga's fault (if such a word can be used in this context) that that wasn't what happened - the servitors responsible may have bungled the job. Or, which I would find more reasonable, they did the best (that is, worst) they could. > Thank God it wasn't more, basically. Definitely.

Hmmm, that explains why he got sick (in the comics) shortly after one of the Robins died. Of course in teh comics, he's so much busier what with batman, the many robins, batgirl, and Azrael (who took over as batman after wayne's death) probably a cherub of michael - well, it's a lone warrior against teh forces of darkness. With mondo levels of the song of healing - how many times has batman had his a#$ whipped only to go home, get healed by alfred and get some cryptic advice which allows him to triumph over The Forces Of Evil (tm). Actually, he could serve Yves as well. > This kind of goes into m whle concept of how the forces in In >Nomine operate. The hero is never a celestial.

Got a good quote here somewhere (sounds of creaking as hydrax searches through his old Commodore 64 for the file labelled quotes) here it is: "Each of you has a battle to fight. That is why you came tonight - although there are many, many more such as yourselves. Most of these battles will be small ones, yet that does not mean they are not important. For this is how this war will be won or lost, by a thousand little battles, each fouoght by one person standing alone against the darkness - or surendering to it." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 06:44:42 +0200 From: Jonas Gustafsson Subject: Re: IN> In the Beginning (part 2) Was there ever a third part to this?

For the interested, I've just finished up some fairly basic conversion notes for playing IN with FUDGE. Rather than suck up bandwidth on this list, however, I'm offering the notes through private email rather than a public posting (if I had a website, I'd stick it there, but hey, I don't). The document assumes that you're familar with both IN & FUDGE. If you don't have FUDGE, you can download it for free from http://members.aol.com/ghostgames/fudge.html. It's pretty good, you know. The conversion notes are in Word 97 format. I can send it in a few other formats, so just tell me what you want when you mail me. All feedback gratefully accepted. - -- Patrick O'Duffy, Brisbane, Australia Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs & misfits - a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.
