This is the second post about PanoptiCorp. The first was about personal experiences, so it actually makes more sense to read this first to get some context f...
PanoptiCorp, part 1: the Soul of a Corper
Warning: this is long, rambly, and has no context. I will write a part 2 with more context, when I’ve had some time to process what I experienced.

We’ve been playing Nobilis for some time now. It is a campaign, led by me, about the diplomacy between Heaven and Hell. The players have two sets of characte...
