[QUOTE="Corinthi, post: 1229690, member: 8272"] I always wanted to play In Nomine. I'd read about the game, flipped through the books, and had heard good reviews. Finally I got my chance at MidSouthCon in Memphis one year. It was one of the worst gaming experiences of my life. Now, to be fair, the GM was the sole reason that game was so terrible. 1. It's a convention game and he didn't bother to bring Pregenerated Characters. 2. As the four players who were new to the game tried to create characters, the GM sat and idly chatted with his two friends, ignoring all questions including, 'So How Do We Do This?' 3. I stole his /only/ rulebook, speed read the chargen chapter, and explained chargen to the other players, he told his friends that it would be 'easier' if they used thier experienced characters while we used our quickly made newbie characters. 4. The adventure was just something he made up off the top of his head involving the PCs searching a High School for the Sacred Cup of something or another. When we found it after 2 hours of semi lucid misery, it was an Athletic Supporter. Seems the Sacred Cup was a practical joke by the power of Dark Humor. The entire experience was so bad that my friends and I still use In Nomine as an adjective to describe things that are painfully bad. 'I can't believe I spent 6 bucks and 2 hours of my life on that godawful D&D movie.' 'At least it wasn't In Nomine.' I still stand by the assertation that In Nomine is a good game and a great setting, but that trauma was enough that I'm unwilling to reopen old wounds. [/QUOTE]
