We should open up a tribe of nobles that live in the middle of nowhere, like the red desert or something.

Arabetti? :P

Why noble role?


  • Stumbling around.
  • Learning how to politics.
  • How to make friends and enemies.
  • Know which to make friends and enemies.
  • Doing something and making it happen IG.
  • Having PCs love your PC.
  • Money, resource and POWAH. Do whatever you want.
  • Group of minions to do your evil bidding.
  • Solving, anticipating, preparing, enduring and handling whatever being thrown or not thrown at you unexpectedly and it's more often than you think.

Feels like Game of Thrones a little bit. It's been interesting and I get constant interaction. It's nice for a change!

The best thing about being a noble is that you're as effective as all your minions combined. The worst thing about being a noble is that you're as effective as all your minions combined.

and you have nobody to spar with
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

Yes you can. Just beat on your staff. Your defense will be shit, though

Heh. Honestly, I'm not seeing much on those lists that can't be done with a merchant House agent...

.. but different strokes for different folks :)

Not everyone wants to be abused for OOC ordering problems they can't avoid. :P

I loved being a pseudo-merchant. But having to make up excuses every time an order is late, or if staff shift, or any of that... Euuuugh.

I'd much rather be the noble slapping the plump-cheeked merchant in the face.

It's a  little like being a vending machine. When people don't get what they wanted fast enough they sometimes shake and kick you.

One will note that the Great Merchant Houses have an extremely good sense of business ethics and have customer satisfaction as their greatest goal whilst all employing ego-lacking ascetes as their operators to ensure no ills may befall those people who complain to them.

This is why all of my characters share the trait: Be relaxed and chill about merchant orders. All of them are like "Sure take your time with my order Agent Fluffypants, no rush."

Also: Noble slapping sounds like Allanak's next big craze! Thanks for the meme boog!

That's why I said Agent, not Merchant. You couldn't pay me to play another merchant role. Those guys have my sympathy.
February 06, 2015, 09:20:47 AM #88
I wish people stopped complaining about 'people expect orders to get filled too quickly.' It happened to me all of one times when I played a merchant role. If you have a monopoly, act like it, and don't be afraid to tell pushy people to shut the hell up when they're being dumb.

What do the people who enjoy playing nobles enjoy about the role?

Grinding the filthy, illiterate masses under the weight of my recently-bathed, perfumed heel, whilst delicately nibbling on exotic fruits from the deadliest places of the Known fed to me by naked, bejeweled slaves who cater to my every whim.

and uh being a leader and um minions yeah

It would seem to me Zalanthan Nobles aren't very noble.

Not at all a snarky question. I am curious.


  • Creating events and plots for other people to enjoy.
  • Helping people move their plots along.
  • Minions.
  • Not having to worry about food, water, or money.
  • Reading, writing, and research.
  • Playing the type of personality that would probably get me killed or be unrealistic if I wasn't a noble.
  • Being better than you 99% of the time.

You guys have convinced me to give a noble role another go someday.

Maybe I'll have more fun. :)
February 07, 2015, 09:50:45 AM #94
It's a lot more fun with more nobles around, but it still has its moments of boredom.  Mostly you have to make your own fun, so make sure you're playing a concept that can do that, and make sure that's something you want to do before apping.

Making my own fun is one of the things I'm best at in this game.
