The Ineffable Plan: A brand spanking new Good Omens RPG

Dec 16, 2009 17:19

Hullo, fellow Good Omens lovers. I'm here to shamelessly plug a Good Omens RPG over on insanejournal. Hopefully it's allowed because we're in desperate need of more Apocalyptic Horsepersons, Them, and characters like Anathema Device, Newton Pulsifer, Shadwell, and many others!

"God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."

The year is 1999 - nine years since the End Times, aka the Apocalypse, aka Armageddon, aka the Day of Final Judgment decided to take a rain check. Life, as it has a way of doing, continued on without a hitch. The Four Apocalyptic Horsepersons parted ways. Them returned to their respective houses in Lower Tadfield. The other miscellaneous supernatural beings, upstairs and downstairs, dealt with mountains of paperwork. The file was put away and that was that. They preferred to pretend it didn't happen. That's bureaucracy for you.

On Sunday, the day after the world nearly ended but didn't, a package was personally delivered to Jasmine Cottage. In it contained the yellowed manuscript of the Further Nife and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter: Concerning the Worlde that Is To Com; Ye Sage Acontinuef! For nine-going-on-ten years, the new book of prophecy has remained in a dusty shoebox underneath the floorboards.

It's the dawn of the third millennium. Y2K is stirring up a craze. The United States is about to give up the Panama Canal to the Panamanian government. Boris Yeltsin is only a few weeks away from resigning and handing over the reigns of Russian presidency to Vladimir Putin. Some woman crossed the Atlantic in a rowboat alone.

What happens when signs of the Armageddon begin to rear their ugly heads again? Will the new book of prophecy come into play once more? Will another great cosmic game of chess start anew, or is it all really just another round of very complicated cosmic Solitaire?
