Nobilis

2005, Age 23

Nobilis is a diceless rpg that I played with a group of friends via internet chatrooms (we were all in different states at the time). The story structure in this campaign was amaaaaazing, and I contribute a lot of that to the large brains of the folks I was playing with. Especially the GM, who had a very "yes, and..." approach to everything we did, story-wise.

Battles in the game are also incredibly exciting, especially compared to the dicey tedium you get in AD&D. There is a sort of resource system in place for performing great feats that is very natural to the newcomer, or at least it was for me.

Another fantastic thing about this game was that its story structure supported the presence of outrageous powers and abilities, but still kept the world challenging. It is, perhaps, my favorite tabletop rpg to date.
