In Nomine is a modern roleplaying game in which the players take the part of celestial beings - angels and demons - as they struggle for control of humanity and themselves. The celestials, powerful though they may be, are merely pawns in a much larger game being played by their Superiors, the Archangels and Demon Princes.

They are very much like us.

Some seek to do good, others corrupt and destroy. Some set out to do one thing, but accomplish another.

Some are fiercely devoted to their work. Some doubt that they really make a difference. And some wonder, in the small hours of the night, if they picked the right side.

They have great powers, for good and evil, but they are merely pawns of greater powers still.

They are very much like us.
