Both these games interest me greatly. Little Fears more like an episodic/one-shot thing maybe and Nobilis more in a campaign way... Is there anyone around that has DMed either of these games and is willing to try it here?
Or is there anyone that wants to join as a player? I wouldn't mind DMing either, but I'll need some time to master the systems.
For those that don't know (I don't blame you, I don't think these are very well-known games...)
In Little Fears you play a kid that still has Innocence (everyone had it but you lose it when you turn 13, along with all the weird experiences you may have had). You deal with things mundane like bullies, but also evil monsters from the world called Closetland... you guessed it, it's in everybody's closet. There are seven "Kings" and their leader the Demagogue, all with minions... but perhaps the scariest part of the game is that the Kings can influence or possess adults.
Though it might seem a bit "Monsters Inc. The RPG" from this description, this is everything but a light-hearted game.
I forget many the actual terms used in Nobilis, but here are the basics: you play a supernatural being (a Nobilis) with power over a certain aspect of the world the game is set in (this domain could be anything from Happiness to Computers to the Sea...) The Nobilis are charged with defending the world against the Excrucians. The Nobilis that the PCs play used to be human. Nobilis is very rules-light. A PC can do litterally anything within their domain so there is no element of chance... think of Sandman, which I think is a pretty good example.
So anyway, if there is anyone around willing to run a game of either of these, yay :D Otherwise I am an experienced storyteller/DM, and it's just a matter of re-reading the rulebooks and fleshing out some ideas before I'm ready to play. Let me know if there's any interest.
