The Vapula Ascendant setting is based upon “The Machine” variation proposed for Vapula in Superiors 4.
Hell may once have existed as Dante imagined it, but no longer. With the rise of the machine and power of the internet revealed, hell is fast becoming a nightmare ripped from the mind of William Gibson. Continue reading

Prosthetic Left Hand from the London Science Museum
Themes linking the mechanical and the divine go back to at least the Greek classics.
Givens how Vapula pursues his word, and the increasing progress that humans have made towards integrating the mechanical into themselves and their world, the Prince of Technology would almost certainly be researching ways for his demons to do the same.
Of course, just because Vapula has been the one to push this research doesn’t mean that he’s the only one to use these songs. Continue reading

Within the world of In Nomine Jean is the Archangel of Lightning, but his provenance extends to science, innovation, and research. You’ll find a healthy helping of electronic music in this playlist, but also a sampling of songs dealing with space, science, and the future.
Some of my favorite science songs didn’t make the cut but I’m still quite happy with the end result. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.

Last week a lightning storm in Norway took out an entire herd of reindeer.
This is precisely the sort of freak occurrence that can make for a wonderful adventure seed. The players are almost a given: Jordi and Jean. The question to ask yourself as a GM looking to create an adventure is why? Why would a servitor of one turn on the other (or why would the superiors themselves be at odds)?

Lichtenberg Figure in Block of Plexiglass by Burt Hickman
“Lichtenberg” has left the service of Hell and is trying to Redeem. She has even managed to secure Jean as a sponsor on the strength of some intelligence she could possibly share (Lichtenberg previously served Alaemon and spied on Vapula). Unfortunately, the information has been locked away by a Seal of the Confessional.
Once Lichtenberg ascends to heaven, she will be able to share it. Unfortunately, as a demon she can’t – and while Jean could cut away Lichtenberg’s corrupted forces, doing so would risk losing the very information that makes the demoness valuable. Instead, the pair have teamed up to try and re-teach Lichtenberg how to be selfless and surrender herself to the moment.

Demons and Angels who have become jaded with the incessant back and forth between Hell and Heaven have begun to tell a new story of the first war. Or perhaps it is an old story that that you are just hearing for the first time because you are beginning to realize that The War is not what it seems.
The Heresy of the Faithless Angels relies on three things

This concludes my initial attempt to sort all In Nomine angels by superior and distinction. I will likely make updates on an ongoing basis.

In the build up to a new campaign, one of my players asked me for an ability to help them manipulate traffic. Since there is no canon ability that fits, I decided to make one up.
The Song of Storms (Liber Canticorum pg 56) seemed the most similar to the desire effect for the Song of Traffic. I have drawn heavily from the existing song to design this one. Since the Song of Storms is flagged as potentially overpowering in the hands of a new character, I would carry that warning over into this new song as well. Do not let new characters have access to this song without giving the matter careful thought, and don’t give the song out at all if you suspect min/maxing.
