Play to Find Out, S3E3: Our Father
Added 2025-10-31 16:11:11 +0000 UTCCan you hear some rattling, thumping, screeching and groaning? Sorry about that. It's just that our PTFO season playing the notorious game of Nobilis has reached the unavoidable point where we need to start... actually engaging with the rules.
If folks know one thing about Nobilis, it's that it's "diceless". What that means in practice, it turns out, is a whole lot of player/GM lawyering.
Over in the trove of Patreon-exclusive files, you'll find the pitiful cheat sheets that we used to try and make everything easier, but as you'll hear on the recording, such trifles could only stretch so far. Also, this episode has a new feature, pulling comments and queries out of the Quinns Quest Discord! Jove be praised.
As always, if you're not sure how to get access to your personal Quinns Quest Patreon podcast RSS feeds, you can find instructions right here.
Enjoy, everybody. Praise be to Rest, and Roads.

Antony’s ending directive to Roads and Rest… that was some cool roleplaying.

2025-11-27 07:15:39 +0000 UTCMy favourite part: "You're technically him, and he's you. So really he's angry at himself." How dare they! And if you've listened to the episode you know who I mean. Roads and Rest will show them they're not to be trifled with! They'll save the day for Home, and happen to assist us who are unworthy collections of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. I humbly pledge the rest of my feeble existence towards worshipping the rest I'm given and the roads I travel for the sense of adventure. Seriously, loving it guys, another great episode.

What I think is great about that is that they'll leave you wanting more rather than overextending past the point where the story suffers. If you feel this way, run or become a part of your own Nobilis campaign.
