Katanas & Trenchcoats (1/e), Episode 7: Celestial Boogaloo

This is the old edition!
You can get the 3rd edition (that's actually playable) from Galileo Games!

A Self-Righteous Expansion!

In Katanas & Trenchcoats, Episode 1: Welcome to Darkest Vancouver, you got to meet its Immortal population and get a little bit of sweetness around vampires, werebeasts, ghosts, vypers, and more. Katanas & Trenchcoats, Episode 7: Celestial Boogaloo adds some sweet and spicy to that sauce with the power of angels and demons.

That's right, welcome to Darkest Heaven and Deepest Hell. God got fed up with angels constantly being angry about the Fallen—that doesn't make for a chill vibe—so He left and took most of the cool angels with Him. You probably have an idea of what Heaven's like after that. Hell, on the other hand, is a con artist rave that's gotten too crowded, and demons love to get the hell out of Dodge and roam the Earth.

This completely original RPG supplement is inspired by prophetic works like Supernatural, The Prophecy (1-3 only; to hell with 4), Constantine (not as bad a movie as some make it out to be, I swear; Swinton and Stormare were amazing), and holy texts like Paradise Lost (at least the wikiquotes edition) and In Nomine.

Think of Celestial Boogaloo as the Book of Leviticus for the Katanas & Trenchcoats-verse.

Fear Not, for I am Sales Text of the Lord

• A primer on what it's like in Heaven and Hell, with notable Archangels and Demon Lords.

• Rules for making and playing celestials—angels and demons—including different types.

• Notable NPCs and groups to drop into your game, or steal for some other game, or completely ignore.

• Want to do some celestial sorcery? We’ve got you covered! Want to hack it to other sorcery? You should do that.

• Banishing rules: It's like fighting except where it's not.

• More Edges, because what every game book needs are more character options that haven't been adequately tested.

This book is an expansion for Katanas & Trenchcoats, Episode 1: Welcome to Darkest Vancouver, but can be used for any game where you aren't strongly tied to such concepts as "continuity" or "realistic logic."

What Happened to Episodes 2–6?

The network decided in their wisdom to shuffle the airing order. That totally worked for Firefly.
