Numenera XP and character development
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around Numenera’s system, (before they release Numenera 2, next summer), just because in many ways it is substantively different to anything I’ve played before. There’s probably going to be a few posts about…
Numenera: Play test 1
Okay, so we got our first run through of the Numenera Starter Set yesterday. Rolland and I joined the Tallens and played through at least a part of the intro adventure. Recap after the cut; spoilers obviously, if you ever…
Numenera: Mechanics

Dusk City Outlaws: Uncharted Territory
Preamble: Go ahead and skip down to DCO Structure if you don’t want to read a bunch of my thoughts on two different types of RPGs and why I think they developed. TL;DR: Dusk City Outlaws is a type of…
Dusk City Outlaws are my favourite Helsinki-based Ultras Group
This is a post about my enthusiasms, because it isn’t even a post about one of my games; it’s a post about one of JIM’s games. Or what will be his game. But it is a First Impressions post too,…
