Numenera; A new RPG by Monte Cook

[Loswaith]

Check out Numenera

Mystic mentioned this to us at the last game, so thought I would immortalise it here.

Seems Monte is looking at a kickstart for a new RPG, and from the brief look at what I've seen I'm impressed.  It has a few things in it I like to use for my own games and what seems to touch on some ideas Benesato and myself have talked about in the past would be good in a RPG or simply concepts that could work.

All in all I'd recomend checking it out.  I intend to look into it further but from what I've seen already, it may very well be up there with my Guild Wars 2 attitude: SUATMM (shut up and take my money).

Heads up folks, Numenera is being released on the 14th August 2013.

Preorder comes with a PDF of the respective book, so may be worth it if you arent getting it from the planescape kick starter.

I have my PDFs now, though given I dont have a tablet (so very tempted to order the nexus though) at this point I won't start reading them untill I get the hardcover book. 

Hopefully not too long after the 14th.

I will be grabbing it on the 14th, and most likely in print after that.

So many RPGs coming out! (shadowrun)... must be Gencon soon

sometime this month, not certain on the exact dates.

[Chimera]

Is now on my tablet...

The cover, is making me think I am reading earthdawn second edition. Anyone else getting that vibe.

[Loswaith]

True, though is that a bad thing?
Earthdawn 2nd ed has been the best version to date.

[Chimera]

No, just weird

Inside the layout feels classic Monte, side bars and all. Art style is very distinctive. Will take a while to read.

Still waiting to see when I get my hardcover core book. Excited. Also thinking to Pre-order Shadowrun 5th Edition. Amazon has it for 37 dollars if people are wanting to group for a shipment.
