Numenera: What is normal?
The Ninth World is a wacky, topsy-turvy place so trying to figure out what is weird to the player characters isn’t the same as trying to come up with weird stuff for your players. To better center players and…

Numenera 1: Into the Beyond
Sharad, an Intelligent Nano who Leads and who travels with friends. Meef, a Mechanical Jack who Exists Partially Out Of Phase and is seeking the truth of his origins. Red Pepper, a Graceful Glaive who Wields Two Weapons and accompanies…
Numenera 0: Getting started, Six Degrees of Sharad Talaar, The New Crew.
Character creation is something I’ve always liked; it’s really interesting to hear what people want to play. Playing with pregens is its own kind of fun too – there is something neat about playing completely against type or contrary to…
Numenera: Playtest 4, Wrapping it up… into a bunch of loose ends.
Lots to think about from this Sunday’s session. We wrapped up the Vortex playtest, had a bunch of fun with the pregen characters, then bid adieu to (some of) them and folks rolled their own characters. And by rolled, I…

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
If you were trying to determine the mechanics of Numenera from the computer RPG, you’d get thrown pretty wide of the mark. Torment: Tides (as I call it, because I’m on good terms with it) give you a taste of…
Numenera: The second E should have an acute accent over it. It might be that kind of game…
This isn’t a review of anything. I ramble a bit about four games I think you should get for your computer if you have not yet done so: Icewind Dale I and II, Pillars of Eternity and Torment: Tides of…
