Hmmmm.<\/p>\n
Doyce is playing around with the Nobilis gaming rule system. We did a small mini-intro on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
Being diceless and mythic, the obvious comparison is to ADRPG. It’s not tied to Zelazny’s Amber <\/i>universe, of course (though there are superficial resemblances to Lord of Light<\/i>). But you still play Powerful and Mysterious Characters of Epic and Reality-Warping Ability Slipping Between the Shadows. It’s Amber <\/i>meets Sandman <\/i>meets Dark City <\/i>meets The Matrix<\/i>. I think.<\/p>\n
The gaming system seems a bit more structured than ADRPG so far, which is largely a good thing. Or, put another way, where there is <\/i>structure, the structure seems better built than ADRPG’s.<\/p>\n
There seems to be a fair amount of supplementary material on-line, in addition to the $45 (!) rule book.<\/p>\n
It’s going to take a bit to get a feel for the system, so that I really know and understand what my character (let alone others) can really do. But, so far, I like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
