Lexicon of the Lost 500 Years is an instance of Neel Krishnaswami’s Lexicon RPG, using Nobilis as a base, and holy crap does it look like fun. Check out the entries for Adlai Stevenson and Trey Parker. (via The 20' x 20' Room)

In what way is it "based on" Nobilis? The introductory text doesn't mention Nobilis's role, although there are references to the game.

It does sound like a lot of fun, though. Tell me when you get a group together to write a lexicon of their own.

If you poke around, you start to see explicit Nobilis references show up in some of the entries.

I see a couple of references, but it doesn't seem integral to the project. Then again I haven't read Nobilis so I'm sure I'm missing some.

The Toothpaste Disaster, though exams prevented me from finishing it (I drop out around M, if I remember) is a rocking-cool paranoia-Lexicon game.

The page on an Adlai Stevenson claims to be about AS III, but is actually about AS II, the presidential candidate. AS III was a Senator and gubernatorial candiate active in the 1960s-1980s. (The original AS was the presidential candidate's grandfather, and was a VP under Grover Cleveland.)
