Seregal glances over at his companions and clears his throat, stepping forward, away from the cart. "Excuse me," he says, interrupting in his most charmingly-bumbling voice imaginable. "Uh, we are but simple travelers in search of directions.... That looks like an interesting ceremony." He...

Seregal takes the staff from Jastor, admiring how it captures the light. I'll try and identify it - Trained in Numenera: 1d20=11 He transfers the item to somewhere in his amber robes and nods. "Don't worry, Jastor," he said. "We'll see what we can do with the city." Seregal sees if his...

Seregal surveys the small aneen for a few moments, and then smiles sadly. "I really need that beast, Kolos, but I don't have a lot of shins left to my name. But I understand where you're coming from. I appreciate the sacrifice your making; you're going to help a lot of good people, and allow...

Seregal visits a few stalls and returns. "I got a deal on writing materials," he said. "Anyone want some?" He holds up a sheaf of odd mismatched papers - some of them printed from pulped leaves and others sheaths of peeled synth. Some already have writing on it them. "We may want to take...

Seregal looks around the group. "Any more questions?" he says in a low voice, while surreptitiously palming some of Jastor's delicious purple cheese. "If not, let's do what Echo suggests. We should get back to the market and let the others know. We should also shop; might be our last chance...

I'd prefer another word than "Hustle" which has a bunch of other, irrelevant meanings besides "Move Quickly". What about Jog, or Quick March?

Seregal hesitates, but is inspired by Antor's confidence (and perhaps naiveity) that yes, this situation is something that this group of people can most likely handle. Seregal hunches his shoulders beneath his amber robes and then straightens up. He did want to achieve the "find of a...

Thanks for the help - lots of ideas there. They're expecting just to open the portal and have the demon come out straight away. Since the bargain was to open a portal for the demon to come out at, I don't think they plan on going into the demon's realm to fight it there. One break down could...

Hi there, My players have made a bargain with primordial demon but intend to shaft it. They will open a portal to the demon's realm (as per the bargain) but intend to meet it with allies, armies as much firepower as their little 16 level selves can muster. Any suggestion for running a...

Seregal scrutinises Jastor carefully, trying to determine if the Augur is decieving them or holding anything back Will spend one level of effort + Specialised in Trickery. Roll dice... 1d20=7 Seregal says, "You say that like you think it's sapient in someway. Do you think that the city or...

Seregal enjoys the fine delights arrayed before him. He tries a pinkish biscuit, studded with tiny dried lavendar fruits, and finds it quite delightful. Seregal clears his throat. "Let me start with a story; it's about a map I came into possession of under rather tragic circumstances." He...

What about flattening out the damage eg 1 or 2 d6 + AGI or STR? So 3d6 + 8 for a lot of damage rather than 7d6?

This will be great if/when it happens, sort of an update to one of the greatest RPGs of that era - Ninjas and Superspies, but with a more solid system (sorry Palladium fans). Things from N&S I'd like to see in NOW: Rules for designing agencies. In N&S you could design a spy or clandestine...

Seregal wanders around the marketplace, delighting in the sights and sounds. He briefly considers making several small thefts of interesting numenera items, but decides not to, as Echo is with him and that might compromise his disguise as ‘Father Seren’. In addition, he decides to keep his...

I quite like this idea, and it also allows you to build custom spell lists for things in your campaign.

Seregal spends his time on the journey making notes and updating his map. He also updates his journal with his notes, maps and sketches of the underground complex. He also spends some time preaching to the folk on the caravan, and telling them some of the rambling stories and edicts of the...

In my imagination, I was visualising each statblock with all the info for the spell list on it, if EOM is used for everything e.g. 'Evoke Fire - 10d6 damage, blast 10' etc. Or, in the current system 'Lightning 3 - (10d6 blast 10 etc). No look-ups! Each player would also be forced to write...

Plus, I'm a big fan of the 4E stat block, which has everything you need in it, without having to look up a different list or particular spell. After running 4E for some time, I really enjoyed the approach of a different system for NPCs and monsters, than PCs.

I still like to be able to build my own spells from the ground up. Maybe use both, have a quick NPC spell list for GMs, and the construction kit system for players who will really get a kick out of having all that customisation. Low magic versus high, or the lesser path versus the greater path...

I would prefer metric for both. I wouldn't find it that jarring for OLD; you could always declare that one metre = yard or one square on the grid or something.r
