Numenera 4: The Gang Throws Grenades At Biomechanical Canines.
Straight into it, because I want to write a thing about Predation because it sounds really cool after listening to it described on the Cypher Speak podcast. Sharad, an Intelligent Nano who Leads and exhbits shocking behaviour. Meef, a Mechanical…
