So is this game any fun?

It's pretty good at what it does. But I would say it's far more important to have onboard and engaged in order to have a good time. If you have some fuck who browses his phone during games and only looks up when its his turn it won't go over well.

On the plus side, it's a good way to separate roleplayers from rollplayers.

Depends. Does your gaming group enjoy a game where it's mostly poetic and flowery and proper foreplay takes precedence over number and ability-crunching? Cause if not, you probably won't find it all that enjoyable.

It also depends on whether or not you have a good HG who can run with any crazy and imaginative ideas your group might sling around.

Isn't this that game where extra-dimensional beings are incessantly hunting you down and trying to kill you for inexplicable reasons - and they often succeed?

Yup. Except they aren't trying to "kill" you exactly. They want to unmakes you and everything about you utterly, until all of Creation ceases to be as the concepts that define it disappear forever. They have quite a few reasons for doing this (and most of said reasons change on a dime/whenever they feel like it), but it all inevitably harkens back to "Creation is a Lie and is thus a crime against the Void, and by destroying it, we are doing you all the greatest of favours".

Power of Distance would be broken as fuck

A lot of Powers would be broken as fuck depending on how you interpret them. For instance, the Power Of Music could literally drown the world in musical notation if they so chose, whilst the Power Of Movement can just end up moving absolutely anything, no matter what it is or even whether or not it's even capable of being moved at all.

Do you like arguing with your friends? No? Then it's not the game for you. You know how in D&D, when rules aren't clear, or sometimes when they are clear, people get into a big argument? 100% of the rules in Nobilis are like that. There are no dice because in place of dice you argue. All the time. About everything. You know how a game group can break up over a bad argument? When I tried to play Nobilis, that happened, before we even got to our first session, because character creation is a group effort. What's that, you don't like the dumbest guy in the group messing with your character concept? Then this is not the game for you.

Play it yourself and come tell us you lazy fag

It's actually not bad, but unfortunately you have to get through the rulebook and decipher it first
