And I Feel Fine: Introduction
"It's the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel fine." -- REM
We have ended the world in many various ways, on this list. But we
haven't used the most famous model, the book of Revelation. I will be
posting a campaign outline based on Revelation, heavily InNominated. It
is a Bright, High-Contrast campaign, intended to be canon-compatible,
though I take the opportunity to resolve many areas of Canon Doubt and
Uncertainty.
Revelation has many interpretations. One of the most famous is the one
that underlies Hal Lindsey's "Late, Great Planet Earth" and, more
recently, the "Left Behind" novels and movie. This school of
interpretation is called "dispensationalism." Dispensational
theologians are famous for interesting, sometimes exotic, occasionally
nutty, interpretations of the book of Revelation. Almost anything the
media circulates in the way of gaudy Christian apocalyptic comes from
dispensationalists.
Dispensationalists usually predict that Armageddon will be preceded by a
seven-year period called "the Tribulation," divided into two parts of
3.5 years each. In the first part, the Antichrist rises to power. In
the second, he rules, then catastrophically falls. My campaign follows
that timetable.
The general form of this campaign is an InNominated description of the
Tribulation interspersed with roleplaying seeds based on the current
events. Some are for demons, some are usable by any celestial, but most
are for angels.
