Tailspinner, I'd be glad to have you! Like doghead said, if you wouldn't mind ghosting one of our abandoned characters for the moment, fairly soon we'll be getting to a point where you can introduce one of your own design. Though... *ponders* There's actually a possibility of inserting a new...

Ullara stops trying to go quite so fast, keeping her footing more firm, but there's a bullheaded glint in her eye that doesn't bode well if anything that needs a good sharp rap to the nose should show up.

"We best get moving, and fast!" Ullara says. "Or I don't think we're going to last!" Suiting words to actions, Ullara plants her staff, feeling shaky but still stable enough, particularly with Bran fast at her side. "Onward!" She will try to press forward along the path, hoping her staff and...

fireinthedust - Well, even though Duncan's not a nano, that doesn't mean he can't start asking question or flipping switches. Everyone in the Ninth World fiddles with numenera, even if most only do it on a casual basis. And like you said, you are more overtly numenera than most! Even if...

"The cycle is to grow, to travel, and to go to the place where time ends, and there we will end. Then begin again. We flow like blood through the body, living, going, ending, living again. We will refresh where we flow."

"The Keyholder has arrived. The cycle is ready to begin. The unit will travel with the Keyholder to establish the route for the cycle. We seek the end of the cycle, the place where what should meet sky meets earth, where time eats itself. OOC - We were pretty bad last night too. Damn...

Echo, you and Antor put your heads together, quickly combining what you know with the symbols on the map, and select a certain pattern of symbols on the panel. It changes color, another chime splitting the air, and Echo, your fingers very briefly merge with the panel, silver flowing into blue...

(OOC: Echo, we will consider that an Intellect difficulty task 4 - Numenera, specifically)

Over two dozen abhumans had come in with Xiaon and Wisco. They march into the room and past the three plate, into the space beyond. Anyone going to look can see several dimly-lit spots on the floor in a regular gridlike pattern. The abhumans each stand on a spot, lining up as if in formation...

"And I am thinking either this place or us are all slightly mad. Let's try to get out of here before it gets worse!" Ullara says, grimacing in discomfort. Next to her the dog Bran is whining and pawing slightly at his ears. Assuming there are no further objections and the path does not try to...

Echo carefully puts in the numbers into the control panel, and gets access to a different level of commands. There are levels of production, of particular traits, fluid levels, expansion rates, communication matrix, asset distribution, and supplementary environmental enrichment. The abhuman...

Seregal, you believe, considering the question you asked, that the abhuman is saying its orders are to expand its territory. That jives with what you've heard from the mercenaries in town.

Echo, as to what the abhuman is telling you, I seemed to be responding to Father Seren's question as to its orders. He asked it what its orders were. It made a gesture of something large getting bigger. You surmise it means, "expansion." And since it isn't getting any bigger, and you know...

Wisco, the abhumans, despite their strange sounds, do not seem to be in an incipient attack posture. They actually seem somewhat expectant, staring at Echo.

Full disclosure, right now I'm running D&D 3.5, Forgotten Realms. I actually don't do that much prep for games. The game I'm running now is city-based, and we've had multiple sessions played where either dice were not rolled, or only rolled for a skill check or two. The only thing I really...

I believe I rather like RPGs. Ask me three years ago and I probably would have said D&D only, but that was before my husband wanted to run a Shadowrun game, one group I was in experiment with Savage Worlds (both fantasy and Necessary Evils [supervillains]) and Dresden Files. Then Numenera came...

That's very interesting to me. I remember a few times for tests in school where I could have told you the approximate page in the book the information was, the layout of the page, and precisely where the information was located on that page... but I couldn't tell you the information itself...

I haven't been having those problems - I run IE with the pop-up filter set to "Hell, no!" if that helps anyone.

"Hellfire!" Ullara spits as the thorns miss her, swiping above her head. The hum presses down on her ears, and she shakes her head, looking back at her comrades, ready to get them to their feet if they fall. Ullara Reflex - 1d20+1=20 Willpower - 1d20+6=7 Awesomesauce - bombed my Will roll...

The abhumans are still looking at Echo, but when Seregal questions the one with the metal rod, it cries out again, its tones rising and falling like language. It moves its massively clawed hands, oddly expressive as it makes motions of something getting bigger and bigger. Echo, the abhumans...
