A Look at Numenera Destiny

As interested as you probably are in the kinds of changes we’re planning for Numenera Discovery (we offer some of those answers here), it’s possible that Numenera Destiny is something you’re even more keen to learn about. So let’s talk about Destiny! If Numenera Discovery pits humans against a dark, weird, and inscrutable world, then Numenera Destiny reveals a light on the horizon.

Announcing the Numenera 2 Kickstarter and the Village of Ellomyr

The Kickstarter for Numenera 2 goes live on the morning of Tuesday, September 19th. Numenera 2 is a gorgeous and evocative two-book set that expands the game in exciting new ways. It’s not a new edition; it’s more like the next step in the game’s evolution, focusing not just on exploring the ruins of the past, but also on using what you find to build a better future.

Player Perspectives: Play Games and Talk Cyphers on Discord

Player Perspectives is a regular feature here on the Monte Cook Games website, penned by guest writers—players of Numenera, The Strange, and the Cypher System.  Last week, some great folks created a Cypher System fan Discord server called Cypher Unlimited! Discord is a free chat and voice service made for gamers, so it’s great for discussing things in different chat rooms, as well as wrangling together a group to play a game over voice channels.
