A long road to when update

So peaseblossom and I have been playing our Nobilis game, a long road to when, she has some summaries of play up to know on her livejournal (she's not caught up yet!). These don't match 1:1 a given session, but we've been keeping sessions pretty short, about 1:30 to 2 hrs. Its easier because we do it after the kids go to bed and then we just play until we reach a nice point to stop.

Some things I should write more about when I get a chance include:

• Silence as flow in the narrative


• Erotic undertones in gaming (and when its not just an undertone)


• Developing npcs you think your spouse will find attractive


As should become rather clear to the few who have read the entries and are familiar with the old Lexicon of the lost 500 years is I'm mining that old fertile territory for this game.

Basically she's doing a backwards alchemical rite across the world tree touching on places important to events that never happened except to the miraculous. So far it seems to be working.
