Any tabletop gamers around?

I've just joined a 5th ed. game, set in Eberron. My character is a barbarian, but I somehow managed to roll a 14 for his intelligence, so he also works as a librarian.

In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas, the original French game Steve Jackson Games' In Nomine is based on. By what I read, In Nomine tends to takes itself waaay too seriously compared to INS/MV. In the latter, I've always tended to play angels if given the choice. I simply find the petty rivalries among demons less interesting than the philosophical conflicts between angels about what is Goodness. I mean, there's an Archangel of Inquisition, for example. He doesn't get along very well with some other, more gentle and forgiving, archangels.

While I haven't actually played INS/MV, I've read over the materials, and I don't know that that's necessarily an accurate comparison. The SJGames version is intended to support multiple styles of play; you can play it as tongue in cheek satire like INS/MV, but you don't have to. You can also run it as superhero action, a grim and gritty Cold War spy pastiche, or, admittedly, wangst and armchair theology, although I don't personally favor that style. They also kept a lot of the internecine politics; the Archangel of the Inquisition is called the Archangel of Judgement, but still runs the Heavenly Inquisition and has similar relations with, e.g. the Archangels of Flowers and Creation.
