Nooo I got sniped. SO I want to run Nobilis for new people. What's the biggest stumbling block people generally run into when describing the rules?

I think the biggest hang-up people have comes when they don't realize how much of the game is front-loaded into character creation. You can figure out what your players want the game to be about from their choices of Bonds, Estate, and Estate Properties, and use that to steer.

(Similarly, most of the setting is defined when you define the cast of NPC Powers. Questions like "what happens when you die" can be answered by deciding what the Power of Souls, or Death, or Rebirth, or whatever, is like.)
