Play to Find Out, S3E0: Preparing for Nobilis

Added 2025-09-26 13:00:21 +0000 UTC

I absolutely love the start of a new season of Play to Find Out. It feels like I'm giving you guys such a treat! Laughter, surprises, truly lush audio design... today is a good day. 😊

So, yes: Today we begin the third season of PTFO, the actual play podcast where my friends and I try out notorious old TTRPGs from history. And this season, we decided to tackle Jenna K. Moran's Nobilis, also known as "the big white book".

This is a game of bickering gods that uses no dice at all, and everyone agrees on two things. One, it's an awe-inspiring world of grandiosity and imagination. Two, it's borderline unplayable.

"Well," I thought to myself, "we'll see about that."

We're also gonna do things a little differently this season. We've decided that, since the point of PTFO is to explore what it's actually like to play these venerable, bizarre, leaky old games, we're going to be recording talkback episodes between every full episode of Nobilis. So, with this season now releasing weekly on Fridays, it's going to be running for a whopping nine weeks! Wow.

As always, if you're not sure how to get access to your personal Quinns Quest Patreon podcast RSS feed, you can find instructions right here. There actually should now be three podcast feeds for the Quinns Quest Patreon that I think you'll find if you click around the more administrative corners of this place- one for interviews, one for PTFO, and one feed that includes both.

And with that, enjoy our first episode, which is the session zero of our campaign!
