\nI already discussed this a bit<\/a> when the kickstarter started, but I wanted to reiterate that you guys should check out these supplements for Numenera. It’s an amzing game, and these are only going to expand the opportunities within it. There will be three books, and stretch goals include a novel written by Shanna Germain, poster maps, glimmers, and more.<\/p>\n

“Over a billion years of Earth’s future, great civilizations have risen and fallen, each attaining wonders beyond our wildest dreams and furthest imaginings. The remnants of these civilizations shaped the Ninth World into a place of incredible beauty, wonder, and danger. And weirdness. Oh, so much weirdness. Explorers who undertake the challenges presented by the Ninth World look not only to the wilderness, but also to the night sky, the ocean depths, and even into the worlds beyond that they cannot easily perceive.<\/p>\n
This Kickstarter campaign takes us into these realms through several new titles that expand the Ninth World beyond Earth’s shores. We’re launching this campaign to fund\u00a0Into the Night<\/i>, Into the Deep<\/i>, and\u00a0Into the Outside<\/i>, each an all-new 160-page hardcover supplement, along with the 100-card Numenera Artifact Deck. But with your help, we’ll take these books even further, and maybe add some new titles as well!”<\/p>\n

AcadeCon 2015<\/strong><\/a> “AcadeCon 2015 is our third annual gaming convention. We’ve hosted two successful cons, but they have been invite-only due to space limitations. This year, we are taking AcadeCon out into the wild and opening the doors to the public this November 13th, 14th, and 15th.<\/p>\n AcadeCon is specifically designed to be a small, non-traditional convention. We are not trying (nor do we want to) compete with or replace the huge conventions that attract a national audience. At our convention, you’re going to get access to 24-hour gaming, a better chance to play in games and spend time with special guests, and time to hang out with some of the best gamers in the world – the fans of our show!<\/p>\n Whether you are one of our listeners, are interested in meeting and playing with some of our special guests, or just found us by accident, we hope you’ll consider attending our convention or simply donating to the cause.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Things We Leave Behind<\/strong><\/a> “Taking its inspirational cues from Delta Green<\/em>, Fargo<\/em>, Blood Simple<\/em>, and True Detective<\/em>, the book takes a mature look at the horror of human nature and its ability to be just as disturbing as anything from the Mythos.<\/p>\n The scenarios deal with unavoidable fates, dark secrets, and seriously bad choices made by the antagonists. As so often is the case, there are no winners when fate has trapped you in a dice game for doom or destiny. As such, please be aware that some of themes are quite mature and are suitable for adult gamers only.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zodiac Empires<\/strong><\/a> “The realm of Vathis is a world in an age of early industrialization where the line between magic and technology is obscure at best, and oftentimes indistinguishable. Rich in history and lore, adventurers roam lands dotted with sprawling empires, devious hidden cults, and ruins shrouded in darkness. While revered heroes march headlong into battle, recently reawakened dragons take flight, transforming both land and sky into battlegrounds. Gritty realism and high fantasy come together in Zodiac Empires, a world built on the memory of great wars, political intrigue, and imperialism.<\/p>\n Notable moments in real-world history, such as the Age of Sail, Prohibition Era Organized Crime, and both World Wars, as well as media sources such as the novels in the ASoIaF series and video games such as Dishonored, have all left their mark on the setting. Expect to experience fierce nationalism, streets filled with pulp action, scenes of noir intrigue, evils lurking in the dark, and corruption both political and physical as you travel between nations.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meta Dice<\/strong><\/a> “Meta Dice are 16mm PolyEurea plastic etched dice designed to be compatible with a variety of pen & paper RPGs. These dice can, for instance, double as Fudge\/Fate dice and regular d6. They can also be used with games such as Burning Wheel, Mouse Guard, Torchbearer, the FU RPG, Dying Earth, Ubiquity, Prince Valiant, Story Engine, Foreign Element, and countless others that use a success\/failure dynamic.<\/p>\n The hit locations correspond with those used in the Warhammer 40k RPGs, the older Warhammer Fantasy RPG, Reign, the OD&D supplement ‘Blackmoor,’ and many, many others. Heck, more limber people could use these for a really complex game of Twister!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Starvation Cheap: Planetary Warfare for Stars Without Number<\/strong><\/a>
\nAcadeCon is a small gaming convention put on by the RPG Academy. What makes this really special is that is limited to 150 tickets, only available through the kickstarter, and has some big guests like James D’Amato, Kat Murphy, DM Mitch, John Wick, and more! We talked to Mike and Caleb about AcadeCon here<\/a>, but you should check it out!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/278\/819\/d63cf55ad20c96dd0242ba535557577d_original.png?resize=404%2C413&ssl=1\")

\nWe’re always on the lookout for cool new scenarios, and this collection of modern day 7e Call of Cthulhu scenarios quickly caught our attention. It includes five scenarios set in the modern day that involve psychological horror.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/255\/572\/3380702a9a5285bd7a31d6f2a0586e42_original.jpg?resize=538%2C348&ssl=1\")

\nThis looks like a pretty interesting new setting for Pathfinder and RPG. I like the combination of magic and technology, and that seems to play heavily into the bones of this setting.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/188\/932\/0258d8a90cbf84befb705f2e97f10188_original.jpg?resize=542%2C271&ssl=1\")
