Angels With Dirty Faces

I know I make it sound like Fenix Magazine is all about me, because I only write about the articles that I illustrate, but I'm REALLY all up in this... one this time.  Fenix #2 2013 was again a themed issue. This time the subject was 'Angels and Demons'.
 First out is "Angels and Ministers of Space", written by Ken Hite. A curious alternate 1710 campaign setting in which Newtonian metaphysics has fused the power of angelic beings with technology to great and terrifying effect. Earth's empires stretches ever farther into space, fighting over new riches of resources and territories. But there are places in the universe where even angels fear to tread.
 Next, Kristoffer Krämer provides a more traditional take on the Eternal War with "Återupprättandet av det Förlorade Paradiset" (Re-establishing the Paradise Lost). This extensive campaign material provides the history of the Great Drama, the nature of the forces of Heaven, Hell, and their agents on Earth, and the name of Her who serves no master.
 Last but not least, the issue comes with a fully playable new card game called "Moralens Axel-makter" (Straight From the Shoulder - A Game of Morality), written and created by Kristoffer Krämer. Based on the comedic device of having an angel and a devil on ones shoulders, three or more players are pitted against each other in a game of strategy and wits, each using the passive or aggressive influence of an angel or devil to affect the moral choices of four human avatars.  Let no good deed go unpunished.
