Numenera [First Run Reflections]]

[@matthewconstantine5015]

I got to play some of this a year or so ago and really enjoyed it. It's one I'd like to get more time with, but it didn't really take off with the group I was in.

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

I’m sorry to hear that! I’m hoping my group takes to it becuse it’s a blast to run.

[@Qedhup]

Sounds like a good start with Cypher!

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

I had a blast. This’ll be fun!!

[@pickpocketpressrpgvideos6655]

Well that was inexpected :) Love the party bonds they came up with. Players making all the rolls is interesting - frees the GM up to think about other things, and precludes dice fudging which is nice. The Numenera world sounds really cool.

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

Totally inexpexted!!!!! The world is WILD. Did you see my full review?

[@pickpocketpressrpgvideos6655]

Yes, he does wonderful things with layout/borders/colour accents!@@DMTalesTTRPG

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

Pretty nice.

[@NefariousKoel]

Great to hear your initial experience. I'm curious as to how it goes when you eventually do a custom Cypher system setting of your own creation. So many options, especially if including expanded genre splatbooks.

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

I am tempted to make a post-apocalyptic game. I like things generic cypher adds in, too. Flavor is a neat way to approximate class and a half.

[@AvenueStudios]

This sounds like a blast! I love the connections tables for connnecting characters to the campaign especially that is so useful!

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

Yah, it worked out well. I love that the table embraced the randomness and then let the connections solidify during the first play. It worked GREAT.

[@AvenueStudios]

That's so great cuz I would assume that means everyone is ready to also embrace their unique connection to the story and let the dice inspire them!

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

@@AvenueStudios yah. It was a fun experience for me as a GM.

[@rossm7346]

I enjoyed this thank you

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. Hope you can check out the channel a bit more!

[@paavohirn3728]

Yay! Wait.. Four players is small? 😅 That's the biggest group size I usually play with and it's a lot to handle already.

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

I’ve run 6-8!

[@paavohirn3728]

@@DMTalesTTRPG That's a lot going on! I can see how it might add to the interesting dynamics.

[@paavohirn3728]

Finished watching. That sounded a lot of fun! I will keep this in mind and give cypher another go at some point. The setting seems so enticing that I think it would be Numenera. Thanks again for sharing!

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

It’s rather fascinating. Also, there’s no official skills list. You get to pick skills that fit a general concept.

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

You are most welcome!

[@zeuslgn]

Foci = "Foe-kai". It's the plural of "Focus".

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

For-kai? Really? I’ve been saying it wrong my entire life… you learn something new every day. Thanks.

[@zeuslgn]

​@@DMTalesTTRPGNo worries. When I was 13 I asked a comic book store clerk about a book by Bill Sienkiewicz. I pronounced it just like its spelled. 🫨

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

@zeuslgn I mean, I grew up near Conshohocken…

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

Hmm, seeing both pronunciations … ahhh… I’m American. Are you in Europe by any chance? Looks like the pond separates pronunciations.

[@zeuslgn]

@@DMTalesTTRPG That could be it. Pretty sure that's how Monte Cook (the creator) also pronounces it (I think he's in Montana or thereabouts).

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

I’d like to play as an eclectic , cautious smart aleck please.

[@DMTalesTTRPG]

You do that on real life!

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

@@DMTalesTTRPG lol. Yes.
