[QUOTE="spider_minion, post: 2447402, member: 16096"] If I were to use this setting, I'd try to blur the good / evil line as much as possible. Demons would be out to destroy the angels and further their own self-interest and ego (such as having slaves carve them statues and such). While they would be certainly evil, they wouldn't go out of their way to harm others unless they would have something to gain. Angels would be single-mindedly determined to fight the demons, and would view humans as worthless and flawed beings that are beneath them. Holier-than-thou in the most literial sense. They wouldn't hesitate to kill the mortals if it would help them in their war. I wouldn't play either side as being too monolitihic either. There would be plenty of angels and demons confused by what's going on and would have their own agenda. The afterlife would be a mystery to the survivors. Since the gates of heaven and hell are closed, what will happen to their souls? Maybe they would rise as undead. Why the demons and angels were cast out of their realms would also be unknown. Children, who are too young to be good or evil, would remain on the war-torn earth. The PCs would be on a search for answers and meaning in a seemingly nihilistic and unjust world. Magic and technology would be their tools to fight back. Perhaps to learn more the PCs would ulitmately have to head deep into the earth or up into space. What would they find . . . I have no idea. I gotta think about this more . . . maybe I'll run a campaign like this. [/QUOTE]
