[QUOTE="Wayside, post: 484525, member: 8394"] Knowing absolutely nothing about the game (yet! I never knew they were making it until I saw this thread, but I'll sure check it out now), the name is somewhat ambiguous. Demon and Fallen (presumably Fallen Angel) are certainly not synonymous, so if the game is concerned with that whole story, I'll probably be disappointed. A fallen demon, on the other hand, could be evil turned good, which might also be interesting. Hmm, okay I just saw SSS-Druid's post, and the game sounds [I]sort of[/I] interesting. There is an alternate interpretation of Satan's decision to rebel that is similar: when god commands the angels to love man as they love god they refuse, loving god above all else, and they don't so much rebel as they are banished for their inability to love anything else but god. It isn't a far stretch from this for someone now to say something like "being banished from the presence of the only thing they are capable of loving twists and perverts them into dark beings, most evil, some yet retaining their good essences." I'll definitely have to read the book to get an idea of how cheesey the storyline *feels* to me--from that blurb it could definitely go either way. If anybody here has at least read all the WW books maybe you can help me out: I'm not a fan of Vampire as a game, though a few elements of its plot are interesting. I like Mummy 1st Edition more than Mummy: The Ressurection, my opinion of Werewolf is comparable to that of Vampire, Wraith has a lot of good points though I think it is overly mechanical, and I suppose I think Hunter is the best of the WoD. Oh, and I'm *not* religious so that wouldn't affect my judgement of Demon either way. That is an interesting appropriation of "Elohim" though.. although most WW games seem to do that, repeatedly. I guess they expect us to not know all those words already :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
