An excellent, and thought provoking video. I really value your Numenera content, keep up the great work
thanks for pointing the importance of this chapter
I love these Numenera videos, thanks for putting in the time! These help out immensely.
Amazingly well thought out and presented as usual :D
Delightful viewing, thank you for this channel!
As always, amazing content.
Fantastic! You really have a great way of breaking these things down, and delivering the information in a very thoughtful and interesting way.
Just found this channel the other day and I feel very fortunate for that!
I'm playing a extraterrestrial, I'm horribly out of practice from playing trpgs let alone rping. Made myself a being more familiar with realms of fantasy. Man I'm milking non causal for all its worth to justify my rough start introducing my character. Man I love how it feels challenging but so easy to slip into when playing numenera, dnd gave me this issue but man it feels so nice that the game focusing on story makes it easy to be part to flow a player into the story. Liminal shores is a wierd starting point to get into playing numenera since all my sources are of the steadfast. Yet the mystical nature definitely helped not only my build but for my character's introduction to the ninth world, which at first glance now looks like the familiar realms of fantasy he is accustomed to
Thank you for your videos! They’re incredibly useful, and I’m always inspired afterward. Your channel is my favorite thing to listen to on my daily commute. You organize your ideas so well, and the production value is just *chef’s kiss*.
Catching up on your stuff I missed! Fantastic as per usual. If I one day become 1/8th the level of articulate that you are in your explanations, I'll be happy!
So excited to start playing the game and creating new narratives with my crew.

Love to hear it!
Odd. This is the one chapter I found to be the least important and have never returned to it after my first read. Well, I'm fixing that asap! So much of what you say is true and I can't believe I haven't realized it myself, when I read Discovery.

I really love that chapter since it shows the setting as a process and a form, as opposed to just a list of lore and facts to memorize. You could get all the names of the Steadfast countries wrong, but as long as you're sticking to what that chapter outlines, you're still playing Numenera
The light roast of Prometheus is funny

That came about from knowing that movie fit my example...but also not really wanting to go through that movie again to understand the plot in the same way that I do for Star Wars/The Matrix lol
Love your voice :)
If you don't understand Prometheus, the fault is with you, not with the film. At its root, Ridley Scott is exploring other aspects of the universe he created. As he stated in at least one interview, he was bored with xenomorphs and felt he'd taken that aspect of the universe as far as it needed to be taken, but he wanted to explore more - the people who created the xenomorphs. Unfortunately, far too much of the audience is only concerned with cheap jump scares and the excessive body counts, hence didn't "get" Prometheus. It was not a film made for them. It was a film made for those of us who are curious about that universe in its entirety, not just the tiny little part of it that contains xenomorpsh.
Is this a chapter from a book your referring too? Lol is this a chapter in the cypher rule book? I ain't got a clue, what book are your speaking of?
Please tell me Mr Cook has at least offered you a job...?
I just realized that Adventure Time is Numenera for kids
