Thinking about taking the plunge into Numenera, but haven't had a chance to parse all the key concepts? Or maybe you have some friends you'd like to introduce the game to. We've made a video just for you, and we think it turned out nicely. What do you think?

This is a beautifully done video - and it will work great for people who are considering buying but don't have the opportunity to play! For those of us who are teaching the game, especially at conventions, the 30 minute video is a bit long... Using the raw footage of this, can you put together a short video that we can play on our tablets and then use a Q&A session from there in order to kick-start our games?

Monte Cook Games I bought Cypher System and this made me buy it. This will be our system for adult players without a lot of time. Greetings from Brazil!

That had to be one of the most fun game play videos I have ever seen. Everyone was so focused just on the game with no extra yakking. Monte, you have such a soothing voice that's perfect for narrating. I have got to get this game. I want to watch more to see what happens.

Just bought the Humblebundle package for this game and checking the video out to get a handle on what I own now.

"Sure, yeah, the trees, kind of grow on one side, and on the other. (mimic her hand movements)" [Perfect use of Yes, And.] "So if you wanna Tarzan your way across...You can try it, yeah." This is how it is done.

The best DM line ever... "You can certainly try..."

I've been running a Numenera game since release and still found this video helpful. The Cypher system took a little bit to learn (or rather-unlearn some old DM habits for different games) and it was good to see a bit of how Monte does things. Players have been having a blast!

I just got my Reliquiry box and got really exited by reading about the World and rules. This is most likely one if the most innovative rpg's I've seen in a long while. I really look forward to start leading a few games. Thank you for the video, it is both entertaining and useful to watch.

Ive liked Jen Page since The Gamers, so happy to see her in this video.

Calvin & Hobbes collector's edition. That's what I'm talkin' about.

Thanks for this, friends of mine have shown this game to me and I have to say I really like the system. It's simple, which is a relief plus it makes numbers meaningful, and the fluff is deep and interesting. This video will really help with new players when I make a campaign of my own for this with new players.

I like the way you did this video using play interspersed with explanations. Made for a great overview of the game.

Great video, and Numenera is indeed an amazing game. Fleshed out yet logical and complete system, which really makes the narrative and action take their right place. Congratulations!

All the more excited to get my copy of the Numenera now, put in an order last week! Thanks for whetting the appetite!

That was really well done, and does a great job of explaining the core mechanics. Kudos

I'll make sure to plug this on the next episode of GM Intrusions. This is a great introduction to players and GMs new to the game.

Ran the Beal of Boregal for my rpg group and everyone loved the game. Now I'm onto my home brewed adventures in the 9th World. Great game. Love the setting and the game mechanics.

Thanks for sharing this gameplay/tutorial. Bonus points for the BROM art book up on the shelf! He's one of the greatest.

Well, watching this definitely sold me on getting this game.

Really loved the how to video. Intrigued by the story driven player friendlier system.

it's a poor plagiarization of FATE. By poor I mean: in FATE players are much more empowered and responsible for the creation of the story. The XP system of Numenera is directly derived from the FATE points in the FATE mechanics. But in the latter, it's much more interesting, mechanics wise.

Well done. More RPGs need something like this.

So excited for the italian release! *Drools like a happy Seskii*

The rules are simple, although you can layer in some optional rules for more complexity. If your players like weapon proficiencies rather than just the basic light (2), medium (4) or heavy (6) damage of the game, there are rules for that (Weapon Distinctions, core rulebook p. 115). The main attraction is in the far-out setting and Monte Cook's great descriptions of weird locations, centering on kingdoms in the region called The Steadfast. He varies broad brush-strokes and fine details about characters and locations to spark some adventure ideas. The fact that old bizarre devices are everywhere has some resemblance to the old Gamma World RPG.

Nifty video and much better than the "The Strange" one. It's helped me figure out my draw to Numenera is purely the world/setting. Simple systems and Class-based game ala D&D I've come to realise I detest. A useful realisation!

The setting is great however I'm not sold on the mechanics of it though

GM--"It's difficulty 5, so you need a 15, and OH, it's a 9." What I hear from Player--"Shit happens." (I think he said "see what happens," though) That pretty much sums it up!

I like the fact that you're all having fun. :)

I'm happy to see this come to life! One minor rules question: after rolling a 20 a player should have points spent on Effort refunded, right?

@Dracopol

7 жыл бұрын

No! The rules p. 88 say for Special Rolls for a 20: "If the PC spent points for a stat Pool on the action, the point cost for the action decreases to 0, meaning the character regains those points as if she had not spent them at all." This probably does not refer to Effort, but only to Actions with a Pool point cost. The rule is not mentioned anywhere that Effort is mentioned. So you have to commit to spend points on Effort, and the points are lost regardless of success or failure of the roll.

Go for it! Run, don't walk, and get it. The Numenéra Starter Set has two 32-page booklets loaded with gorgeous art so it's less text to worry about. Also a 20-sided and 6-sided die, a colour map, and a small cheat-sheet. The adventure in the box also gives you a free download of a far-out sequel adventure from a Monte Cook web site. When you're ready you can buy the fully-loaded hardcover book which also includes a few short adventures.

Long live the 9th World! And the most hand-free GM!..

One thing I don't fully understand is, why use "Effort" in some of these cases. One point was, I want to climb a tree, its a difficulty of 3 and they used Effort. There was no immediate danger or rush, so why not attempt to climb the tree with the regular difficulty applied, if you fail, can you just try again and then use Effort? Is there anything from preventing you from trying to climb a tree more than once if you fail the first time?

I opened this video, and suddenly... THIS IS THAT GIRL FROM "GAMERS"!

yup, that's what i was talking about

Quick question: Are you supposed to tell players about the complexity of any given task? I originally thought it's not supposed to be told, since it seems to be a kind of metagame-ish thing, so just wonder how it's implied

@RockingJDesign

2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Especially for newer players. The transparency doesn't affect the gameplay. In fact, it helps players make informed decisions on what they want to attempt in any given scene. Plus... it speeds things up if everyone knows that critter is a difficulty 4, or the interactions with the chief of palace security is a difficulty 5 when attempting to persuade him to let you see the King. :D

So I'm a little confused about something. If the difficulty is out of ten, and it's multiplied by three to determine what must be rolled to succeed, wouldn't that mean any difficulty of seven or higher is entirely impossible, since the die only goes up to twenty?

@Montecookgames

7 жыл бұрын

Several things can reduce the difficulty of a task, such as being trained in a skill, specialized in a skill (reduces difficulty by two steps), a special tool (such as climbing gear for a climbing roll), spending effort (which can be more than one step for more powerful characters), assistance from another character, and so on.

I love this game just hard to find players

Numenera looks quite amazing. My only issue is the use of a d20--it's almost always better for outcomes to roll multiple smaller dice than it is one large numbered die which has a wide variance range.

if you can't lower a difficulty challenge below 7, is there no way to pass it (seeing as you're rolling a d20)?

@Dracopol

A Difficulty level of 7 needs a roll of 21 minimum, which is not possible on a 20-sided die. You have to think of all possible ways to reduce the difficulty: trained (-1) or specialized (-2) in a Skill; using some physical Asset that makes the job easier (-1), like a book to consult; or expending points from your Pools (-1 Difficulty for 3 points, but Edge in a Pool reduces your expense by 1. Higher-tier characters can spend 2 additional points from the Pool for additional Difficulty reductions. But watch out! The Pools are also your "hit points" so you don't want to expend them all!) If you can't do it, maybe you have a Cypher device of such an awesomely high level you could expend it to make things easier.

Why when he won the 2 Xp points he kept both instead of giving one away? Thanks, this is an awesome video and game!

It does not really tie-in at all. Planescape was something Monte Cook worked on in the past. The setting does have some far-out scenery and there are alternate dimensions or "planes" if you will that players might slip into. For example, there is a university that can be accessed through many doorways around this world, a kind of University of California at Everywhere...

@Dracopol

It was not a mistake. If an Action has a Pool cost just to make use of the action, like a Special Ability with a Might Cost or a Speed Cost, you get those points back. Example, a Tier-1 Jack gets Tricks of the Trade and one of their tricks chosen was Pierce (1 Speed point), add 1 point of damage if your weapon has a sharp point. Let's say you're up against an opponent and you swing a dagger and spend 1 Speed point for the Pierce ability. You get a reduction of 1 level of Difficulty because it's a small weapon, but you don't feel your chances are good enough so you also decide to spend 3 points of Effort from the Speed pool 2 (which is reduced by 1 if you have a Speed Edge of 1, so expend 2 Speed points). Let's say your roll is 20. That will have either +4 OR a Major Effect (to be chosen). It gets +1 damage because of the Pierce ability. The 1 Speed point spent on the Pierce ability in your attack is refunded, but not the 2 points you spent for Effort.

cool googles!

I'm a huge planescape fan. It's my favorite. I really like what they're doing with 5e combining all the best of 4e, and before. Numenara is setting completely different from Planescape, but has all the mysterious other-worldly intrigue. Great game/story/setting/mechanics. Terrible rule descriptions. Not just the book. Even this video is long as hell, and doesn't really give important pertinent information. World design for the game itself is great, and the art is amazing. But I don't get the set design for this vid. I'm also not sure why they used a bookshelf for their background. As if to show people that this is an extremely boring game. It's pretty weird, and the acting isn't the best. Maybe if they put as much effort into making vids as they do in games, it would be better. (It could be worse like D&D's Phandelver playthrough video.) I made a post on Reddit explaining some of the basic info: www.reddit.com/r/numenera/comments/30ag6y/quick_overview_explanation_of_numenera/

Hi there! Watch one of our several Numenera Actual Plays, like this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/foWNu9mqZZPIlMo.html You're totally right that the bread-and-butter of actual play is deep character interactions, the meaning behind character choices, how they feel about the events and the results of the tactics. That's why we build in character connections and ties to the story right from character creation! This video is only meant to show the core mechanics.
