Many were games that I had never played: all were games that I never intended to play again. All of my 2nd edition D&#038;D books, nearly all of my indie RPG books, all of my Hero System\/Champions books &#8212; all went. I saved books for games I still played, or still wanted to play, but this was a very small pile compared to what I got rid of. I also saved a few books that, for one reason or another, were special to me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpg.drivethrustuff.com\/product_info.php?products_id=89003&#038;affiliate_id=43463\">Nobilis<\/a> was one of those games. I had a first edition copy of Nobilis, and I will have it as long as I own any books at all. You see, I was there when Nobilis was written. Oh, I didn&#8217;t contribute to it. Not directly. But I was there while the author played with ideas &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/imago.hitherby.com\/\">strange, magical ideas<\/a>. And in my small, probably insignificant way, I encouraged her. And when the book was published, I bought it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Nobilis is in its third edition now. <a href=\"http:\/\/rpg.drivethrustuff.com\/product_info.php?products_id=89003&#038;affiliate_id=43463\">Go buy it<\/a>. Even if you never play it (as I likely never shall), it is worth it. It is strange and magical, much like its author.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. A special, <a href=\"http:\/\/eos-sama.com\/nobilis\/index.html\">limited-edition autographed copy<\/a> is available for a limited time. I am tempted. Sorely tempted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five or six years ago, I tossed out shelves and shelves of role-playing games and sourcebooks.
