Look at his track record of success and innovation in the gaming industry!B.    But if you are a Doubting Thomas, if he doesn’t pull through (no pressure Monte) and it sucks, you can be guaranteed that an angry internet horde will descend on every forum and berate him mercilessly, his rpg career will be over, and he will end up foaming triple upside-down caramel lattes for a living. And I realize we didn’t even mention the ART of Numenera. This is Kieran Yanner we are talking about – so you will NOT get a product that looks like it came from a high-school sketch that was colored in with MS Paint or just crayons because the artist was lazy. THIS IS ART YOU WILL WANT TO SHOW YOUR FRIENDS!.  Oh, and Monte is throwing in a Full Color Map of Numenera, illustrated by none other than Christopher West. You want a Deluxe version of the Core book. We’ve got Deluxe. This book redefines DELUXE with  {enter Deluxe product description}But this is Kickstarter, and time is running out.
