Nobilis RPG Second Edition

Nobilis: A Game of Greater Powers is amazing. Stylish, beautiful, packed with attitude, it lies between Sandman and Amber, but there's no game like it.

Originally released by Pharos Press in 1999, Nobilis received critical acclaim and rave reviews from the games press. In 2002, Hogshead Publishing released the second edition - completely revised and literally twice as big. It has jaw-dropping art and layout, approachable rules and some of the best writing ever seen in an RPG. This is a book that gamers will want to treasure, to show off to their friends, or give each other as a present. And most of all, play. Hogshead Publishing changed owners in early 2003, and Nobilis moved to Guardians Of Order, but it is being maintained by the same production team and remains the same stylish game that Hogshead brought back to life in 2002.

In Nobilis, players take on the roles of the Sovereign Powers, each the personification of one single aspect of reality: Night, or Roads, or Ecstasy, or Chains. Once human, each character has been forever twisted and changed by the addition of a single soul-fragment from their Lord or Lady Imperator: giving them awesome power and terrible responsibility.

Heaven and Hell, Yggdrasil the World-Ash, the Angels and Devils, the Giants and the Old Gods, all are real; each each with aeon-old plots and rivalries. All are united in the Great War against the Excrucians, whose goal is to destroy all Creation, but divided by their own rivalries and feuds.

The rulebook contains complete rules and explanations, full background, exhaustive examples of play, sample adventures and campaign settings, GM advice and much more.
