I...I know what you mean about cognitive dissonance. I was so disappointed with Steve Jackson's <i>In Nomine</i> after having played the original <i>In Nomine Satanis</i>. Especially after the supplement/flip-side game (<i>Magna Veritas</i>) came out and you realized that the angel hit-squads that you were so scared of as a demon were just as competent as your own side (which is to say, not very). Anyone interested in getting a glimpse of what the original French game was like might take a look at the film <i>Ma vie est un enfer (My Life is Hell)</i> as an example. Although your typical <i>Paranoia</i> session does come close.<br /><br />I definitely agree with you about <i>Over The Edge</i>, although I had heard nothing about it at the time (I bought it immediately as soon as my browsing at the FLGS encountered the disclaimer).<br /><br />Don't let those invisible turtles that are not actually there get underfoot! <i><grin></i>Reverance Pavanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217657347160811310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-39536398601447299032010-02-09T15:20:00.301-05:002010-02-09T15:20:00.301-05:00I think I can add D&D in front of the Vampire ...I think I can add D&D in front of the Vampire post I made the other day, throw in Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020 and Changeling to the lot, and have a pretty complete picture. <br /><br />Which of course means that I'll now write one of these up as well. <br /><br />I think you just made a meme.Daniel M.

Been converting over many of the ideas from the DRPG to help us out.<br /><br />And AmberMUSH? Cool! I was on there years ago. Perhaps we crossed paths back then?
