Having finally worked my way through the book, I have come to the conclusion that Nobilis looks good. Pretty much all of my doubts about the mechanics as they pertain to the setting have been quieted. I think that, some time in the next 6 months, I'll run a game of limited scope to get a handle on the mechanics in action. If that works, I'll likely run a campaign for a while.
So, gamers, start thinking of godlike characters to play. More to follow on specifics later...
night__watch brought up an interesting point last night about how a character that is effectively immortal might not grow and develop the way characters do in regular RPGs. I think the best way to answer that question is to let someone else, who's better at it than I am, explain. To that end, I reccommend everyone read Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. The last two chapters in particular deal heavily with change in an immortal being.
