Rising Sun toe-dipping
We’re two games in on Rising Sun, and I’m still happily baffled at how to win at that game. Our first game (me, JIM, Ben and Rolland) was a learning experience and Ben ended up romping home to a comfortable…

Numenera 15: The Feast of Eyeballs
Here’s a summary of the last two sessions, the first of which easily slides into my top 10 roleplaying sessions on account of how well it went in terms of player buy-in and cascading wackiness. The second was almost entirely…
Reviews and Previews: Jamaica/Photosynthesis/Adventure.exe/Cpt. Sonar/Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate/Rising Sun
Okay, with Jonathan and Steven’s visit we went full-bore games shopping for some likely additions to our respective catalogues. Some I can review (along with a podcast), some I can preview, but keep in mind that I tend to like…
Numenera 14: Chekov’s Big Hole In The Floor
Sharad, an Intelligent Nano who Leads and hey, is that a image-empathic retrieval nanite generator or is this pyramid just happy to see me? Rosetta, a Graceful Nano who Crafts Unique Items and whose nemesis may be falling vending machines.…
Numenera 12 and 13: The Plains of Kataru
Okay I’m really going to have to rattle this off if I’m to get up to date by the time we play on Sunday, so this is going to be pretty truncated (Edit: it didn’t feel truncated). The usual spoiler…
Numenera 10 and 11: When you go down to the woods today…
Just getting caught up now – if I get last week’s session (fairly short, influenced as it was by the celebratory mood following the Vikings game) and tomorrow’s session ( an ultra-rare Saturday session) I’ll be happy and caught up.…
Numenera 9 and 10: The Creeper
This is where things get a bit more vague. I may not have the order of events down correctly, but here’s the fundamentals of what went down. Sharad, an Intelligent Nano who Leads a cult of one. Meef, a Mechanical…
Numenera 8 and 9: Below Plainsight
Oof, I fell behind. We didn’t play for a few weeks while I got this blood geyser inside of me figured out and I didn’t have the time/energy to update what was going on. So I remember session 8 reasonably…
Numenera 7: Complications
I did a bad job last session of handing out GM Intrusions. I ended up only dishing out one optional Intrusion and spinning out one natural-1 Intrusion, Meef’s Creeper. I’m trying to figure out which comes first, the good session…
Numenera 6: Plainsight
Spoilers ahead for one of the scenarios in the main rulebook, which I guess I should get out the way before Numenera 2: Electric Boogaloo comes out next year and they replace the introductory scenarios. Of the four, this one…
