[QUOTE="turkeygiant, post: 7677914, member: 6787083"] I'm gonna watch this kickstarter, but I have some slowly growing qualms about Numenera as a game line. Despite being set in the "Ninth World" my biggest frustration with Numenera is that it really doesn't have a cohesive setting in any way. Strip away any mentions to the Ninth World and it becomes a generic game made up of a hodgepodge of completely unrelated characters, locations, and monsters. There is no real feeling of this being a real world. The other Cypher game line The Strange does a much better job of making everything feel connected which is actually ironic as it is the setting with a infinite number of worlds in infinite genres. What I am hoping to see from Into The Night/Deep/Outside are setting books that actually feel like proper settings, where the various components introduced in the book actually have connections to each other and are more than just 160 pages of unrelated plot hooks.
