Amusing

One of the reasons I will somewhat regularily pick up Nobilis to read it is the simple fact that it is generally a fun read. The sidebar quotes are fantastic but so are basic discriptions of the rules:

For instance: on discussing different levels of Aspect powers one of the levels examples is:

Bring down a blimp with a hairpin.

Following example:

Bring down a blimp with a courthouse.

Same power level just a different angle, back-to-back. I found it rather humorous really.
