I've never heard of the Nobilis RPG, but did a quick net-search after your comment to look at some reviews. It sounds fascinating. One review mentioned some specific SF/F authors that the system draws elements from, and all of them are high on my personal library list. ^_^ Pity I haven't hooked up with a tabletop RPG group since I last moved--it sounds like a great system to try.

I'm now halfway through Dreamfall

Oh my gosh, you are really burning through those books! Very cool about the book/gaming parallels. I hope your PC didn't get into as much trouble as Cat always seems to! ^_^
