Editing In Nomine (section)

==Tone: Degrees of Freedom==
One final thing: In Nomine was one of the first settings to embrace a toolbox mentality: the setting was designed to accommodate many different kinds of play and spins, from [[Noblebright]] to [[Grimdark]] (and Nobledark and Grimbright (the associated variables are usually described as "Bright" and "Dark" and "High and Low Contrast")) to full on Reverse (where Hell are the Good Guys) and Silly (most similar to the French original). Thus, the books tend to describe a morally grey Cold War styled world.

Note this is because the French original game was very much a comedy (for example, God is off on an hydrotherapeutic cure somewhere in France), but the themes are such that Americans would tend to take them completely seriously.

Another take: the original French game, besides taking it lightly would give in its supplements an accurate representation of the places and religions so the player would be informed properly before doing anything to it, then use it to build a canon “behind the scenes” of humanity. It is true however that it doesn’t take itself seriously, and was very tongue in cheek, politically oriented that might offend.
In order to make the game cross the border, the whole lore and core of the game have been heavily modified to the point it is barely recognizable by a player of the original game.
