Lame Nobilis

So tonight at the Shakleton Expedition Potluck at Mikey's we were discussing Nobilis...cause that's what all the cool kids do. Specfically, we were kicking around lame Domains.

So things like, The Power of Beach Balls or Stunt Doubles (although Stunt Doubles is kinda useful). I suggested the Power of Grout. Go on, make fun of his wussy Domain. It's not where he spent his Character Points.

Then Drak pops up: "The Power of Kraus! You know, the cook from Benson."

Yes...this is the best lame Nobilis evar! Imagine your Domain is a guttering candle flame of half-forgotten pop culture reference. The Excrucians won't waste the time to consider going after you. Your entire Domain centers around a bit part in an early 80's TV show. With each year that passes, you grow ever closer to Metaphysical extinction. Imagine the thrilling struggle to somehow keep your Domain in the collective consciousness of the universe.

And Inga Swenson is your Anchor like nobody's business. Oddly, you both love and hate her.

heh

That is the best thing I've heard all day... and it far beats out what me and my friends have come up with, including the Power of Accidentally Getting Run Over By A Bus.

I'm still trying to figure out the excruciation of the Power of Disco... cause it had to have happened.

Bah, people always want to make every little thing an Estate. Drives me nuts. Of course the darn book doesn't help with its Power of brave little toasters (or whatever).

I always thought Drak was a nice guy, but now I am REALLY AFRAID of him.
