Re: Nobilis 3rd Edition
I actually like the way the immense status and importance of each character can potentially be juxtaposed to a sense of triviality or mundanity- if not in the nature of what's happening, then in the relative scale or seriousness of it. I think my favorite part of Moran's work is actually the way she juxtaposes the melodrama of literal existential crises faced by beings whose day-to-day affairs make waves back and forth through eternity, with the quirky and at times comically bizarre- and the way she sometimes blurs the line between the two, forcing you to wonder just how serious that bizarre moment was. (I'm mostly thinking to her novel "An Unclean Legacy".)
That said, if that's not an aesthetic you like (or just disagree with my assessment of it), that's fine. The tone and scope of the game is probably something to discuss beforehand, at least in broad strokes.
