The Inside Scoop on Gaming

The latest Supplement for In Nomine deals with the amazing poower that comes with understanding the Symphony (the Universe) on more than a symbolic level. To continue the musical metaphor, such power is wielded through Songs and this book is the book about them.

Like the first book in the Liber series, this book delves into detail that is needed in the In Nomine world. IT has so many wonderfulk ideas and concept that a lot of them were glossed over in the main book. Advanced rules are given for group song performance, limited performance, and so forth. All the songs in books before are reprinted in their entirety, along with new 'lost' songs, songs that are held secret by Princes and Archangels, and songs that are helpful for specifical types of celestials.

This book is nice in a lot of different ways. It gives both GMs and players new toys to play with. Most books of this sort are usually only helpful to one side of the GM screen but the new songs for the players and the secret songs for the GM give all sorts of ideas. Also compiling all the previously published songs is a VERY GOOD thing. SJ Games has put out a lot of song info through out the players guides and the Revelations Cycle and having it all in one place with an easy to use Index saves wear and tear on the books and the GM.

Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
Substance: 5 (Excellent!)
