Thank You
Thanks, everyone, for a great week. The Strange Kickstarter has surpassed $178K (exceeding Numenera at this rate!), The Devil’s Spine got launched to great acclaim, and In Strange Aeons: Lovecraftian Numenera (our second Glimmer) will get launched on Monday.

That Strange Excitement
We just launched The Strange Kickstarter, but since it’s already funded (actually, we’re raised almost three times our goal in just one week), we know it’s a game we’re going to publish. So we’re already having meetings and getting to work. Bruce and I have only just started working on The Strange, but I’m already …

The Strange Kickstarter 10-21-13
The Strange Kickstarter campaign began last Wednesday. How can I express how excited and happy I am at the level of enthusiasm and support that gamers have shown us? At less than a week, we have well over 1,200 backers and have raised more than $157,000. This means that we’ve already achieved four stretch goals …

A New Kickstarter
So as most of you probably know, I ran a Kickstarter campaign last year for Numenera that was quite successful. And now I’m doing it again for a new game called The Strange. I learned a lot from that first Kickstarter, though, and so I wanted to share some of the things that I’m doing …

Reaper Miniatures News
A while ago, I wrote about the fact that Reaper Miniatures is doing Numenera figures. Some special preview sets came out (and went fast) at GenCon. But then Reaper got really busy both fulfilling their Bones Kickstarter and starting up their wildly successfulBones II Kickstarter (you should really pledge, it’s an amazing deal). The miniatures …
ULTIMATE RETAILER: The Wyvern’s Tale
About two weeks ago, Shanna and I wrapped up our ULTIMATE RETAILER tour in Asheville, NC. Asheville is a beautiful city, and Wyvern’s Tale is an amazing store. It’s a two-story building (a beautifully renovated old house, actually) with lots of retail space on the first floor, and four rooms above for gaming and special …
The Strange Kickstarter
The Kickstarter for our new Cypher System game, The Strange, launched today (Wednesday the 16th) at 8:17 AM Pacific Time. The Cypher System, of course, is the engine we use in Numenera. That means that, like Numenera, The Strange will have descriptors, types, and foci. It will have cyphers. It will have easy to create …

Next Week Will Be Strange
All of us at Monte Cook Games are incredibly excited that we’re going to be launching a Kickstarter next week for a new game, co-designed by Bruce Cordell and I, called The Strange. The Strange uses the same mechanics as Numenera (a rules engine called the Cypher System), but it utilizes them in a very …

ULTIMATE RETAILER: Kirwan’s Game Store
Two weeks ago, Shanna and I visited Kirwan’s Game Store in Catskill, NY, as a part of our fulfillment of the ULTIMATE RETAILER Kickstarter rewards. I will admit that Kirwan’s took me by surprise. It has a rather unassuming entrance on the main street of a small upstate New York town. As soon as one …

The Devil’s Spine Off to Backers
At the end of last week, we started shipping print copiesof the Devil’s Spine to the backers who purchased it from our Kickstarter. A few people have reported already getting their copies. Shipping time vagaries being what they are, we’re hoping that most people will have their copy by mid next week. This week, we …
