SHABD was a 2-year text-based Nobilis game that ran on Discord from 2020-2022.
This was the project that kept me sane during this phase of the pandemic. Telling a story of two VERY different sets of godlings, SHABD explored both edges of the Nobilis universe: the exquisitely high concept and the relentlessly mundane. Swinging from rivers of living coins who jailed the souls of the greedy, to talking dogs who really wanted pets and snacks; from Heaven to Hell and everywhere in between (including a REALLY nice spa in the Marianas Trench), SHABD told a story that wouldn’t have been possible at any other time or in any other medium. Entry to the archive of the game is available on request, although the game itself no longer progresses.
