Updated for a very pathetic April, reading-wise

Since I read so many more books than I'll ever review, I've decided to start keeping track of them in my LJ.

"*Nobilis: The Game of Sovereign Powers, R. Sean Borgstrom"

<3 Jenna Moran (formerly R. Sean Borgstrom) is my hero. Have you seen her creative writing blog, Hitherby Dragons?

[shadowravyn]

No, but the title alone sounds cool.

Have you ever played Nobilis?

[nyren]

Actually, no, I technically haven't. I've run one Nobilis campaign last year, and I'm running a second Nobilis campaign over the summer starting in six days, but I've never actually *played* in a Nobilis campaign.

It's my favorite system ever though. It makes me so happy.

"Hitherby Dragons: an answer to suffering" is a story about emptiness, about inconsistencies and holes in the cartography of someone's world. It's more than a little odd. Some entries are utterly amazing, like this, this, and this. Some entries are utterly bizzare. It makes a lot more sense if you read "What is Hitherby Dragons?" first.

Holy fuck!

You've cut through about half of the Vampire: The Dark Ages game books. WHat do you think now?
