I'm with Arioch about the bait and switch title. I must be getting old, because this kind of over-analysis just kills the fun for me. I feel like Martin Crane right now. Or maybe that guy at the NWA wrestling convention who said, "it's still real to me, dammit!" :/

To me, the reason is twofold (in addition to all of Umbran's spot-on comments): 1. The game's method of handling clues/procedures feel more like guidance of which experienced GMs are already aware. 2. The system and its GURPS-esque number of skills isn't really aimed at beginners. The kind...

NRW has joined the NWA? Sweet! Yes, Sean, that was my takeaway from this. No offense to all the fine publishers involved. :)

I'm surprised there is no mention of Skarka's Far West.

I backed at the $150 level, and it feels like a nice subscription. If a large scale kickstarter each year keeps the company that makes the game I actually play stay afloat and grow, I can more than live with this business model. I do wish they'd drop Kickstarter exclusives though (except for...

I'd go with the second interpretation, too. That said, the way Armor works is probably the only significant rule change from Numenera or The Strange to generic Cypher System. I suspect the type/flavor abilities were written with the older method in mind (and basically cut and pasted), but I'd...

Minor correction: it's not all the Gold Box games. It doesn't contain the three Dragonlance games (for which they could easily get the rights), the two Buck Rogers XXVc games (for which it's extremely unlikely they could get rights), or the original Neverwinter Nights (damn near impossible...

For my final questions, let's go back in time... 1) What was it like working for ICE? 2) Did you live in Charlottesville or were you able to work remotely in that role? 3) Of which Hero System or Rolemaster/MERP product are you most proud from your tenure there?

You mentioned liking progressive rock/prog metal in an earlier post, and specifically cited Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, and Yes in the Ptolus core. What other bands in that genre do you like?

I'm not sure why Numenera and The Strange aren't statistically combined, especially if Fantasy Age/Titansgrave are combined with Dragon Age.

A follow on to some of the earlier questions about the limited license -- would you consider lowering the cost of the limited license for items that only use the Cypher System Rulebook (when that license goes live)? The $100 fee for Numenera or The Strange makes a lot of sense because it has the...

Do you have the rights to do Cypher System versions of Malhavoc products, such as Ptolus and the setting from Arcana Unleashed? If so, do you plan to do them?

Hi, Monte! Love you guys, love the Cypher System. While it was initially billed as a standalone product, is there now a chance we'll see support books for the Cypher System Rulebook? It seems like there would be room for the equivalents of Numenera and The Strange's key sourcebooks: a...

The MCG page refers to Into the Ninth World being kickstarted, not just specifically the Into the Night book. I _think_ they're funding the whole line with it.

Thank's for that, LesserCure. Now I can't unsee it. lol

It's worth mentioning to any that are interested -- in addition to the Cypher System Rulebook (and Worlds Numberless and Strange), Monte Cook Games will have a limited number of Numenera reliquary boxed sets on sale for $200 at the con. I received mine yesterday. It's beautiful and shockingly...

It's actually pretty feature complete. Some of the material is cribbed from either True20, Dragon Age, or that fantasy book from M&M 2e, so it's familiar ground, but nothing essential is missing. If anything, the bestiary is a little skimpy, and (afaict) there's no mass combat rules, but that's...

Not precisely the same issue others have, but some image compression formats are not very friendly to the basic PDF readers for iPad. If you have a PDF of the Numenera corebook on your iPad, turn to page 119. You probably see a blank area to the upper right--PDF Expert and iBooks treat it this...

The official youtube version is supposed to be public on Friday. It's intended as a Geek & Sundry exclusive until Friday. This was the best episode so far, like epithet said.

Edit: this has been resolved. Apologies to any irritated.
