so i came across a game called nobilis. Does anyone play this?

pretty much the title. id potentially want to try it but i saw basically no results for it anywhere as if its been completely forgotten 
first written 20 years ago, not really  popular, though it won awards. offputting is the diceless tasks resolution.  I have never seen a game of it, here, never ran or played a game of it, not heard of it being run anywhere. Guardians of Order ceased operations in 2006, with an announcement that they would attempt to find other publishers for their games. Might google Nobilis , and find the remnants of a niche gaming community.

The game is really obscure it seems and yet basically every comment ive heart about it has been pretty positive, with several people saying its one of the better/best games they have played. I would run it but it seems like the type of game i would have to try out possibly as a player before i ever attempted to gm

I've heard of Nobilis but the following is pretty tiny.  I suppose if you are looking for diceless narrative roleplay you may wish to consider Amber / Lords of Gossamer & Shadow.  There is a fairly active community.
