Even better.

Which of those are Stars without Numeneras?

And the kickstater is now almost at 50k, with 38 days to go. So apparently the MC-fans who didn't care sh*t for his venture into LotFP were waiting for his own new system/game.

wouldn't be at all surprised if it beats all the stretch goals he's laid out so far.

I have the Kicktraq extension for Chrome. As of right now, its "Trending" line is set at $1,062,500. Trending means that's what it would hit if its funding continued to rise at the same rate as it did during the previous day. In reality, KS's tend to have their biggest spikes near the beginning and end of their run, with steady, but much lower, increases during the long middle period. But it's still interesting to see what the Trending line is and how it changes over the course of a KS. [an example of one that stayed mostly constant was the OUYA KS, with the trending line almost always at about $8 million something, and the final day's spike actually caused it to beat the trending line projection by a little.]

Monte Cook only has stretch goals through $100k, so if it ends up doing much better than that I'm curious to see what else he might add.

I've enjoyed everything Cook has done. So count me in.

I'll definitely be checking this out.

That's the ONE thing that turned me off. I don't like those sorts of trade-offs.

This. d6 SWRPG choked on it, TORG did, HG/JC/T8 did, etc. because there is never any reason to spend XP on anything other than character progression unless your guy is certain to die otherwise.

Im on the fence about that rule myself as given he has nearly a year yet before release he may well alter or even completely change that rule in playtesting.

Quote from: DKChannelBoredom;569175So now Monte has announced his upcoming new rpg: Numenera - Sci-Fi, Kickstarter, new system, easy to gm, lots to discuss but is anyone interested in what MC's got to offer anymore?

Hmmm.... A billion years divided by eight is 125 million years for each great civilization?  Or roughly a billion years have gone by since any of these great civs existed and all eight of them are just now discovered?

I'll be interested if it is at all like New Sun.

Sounds about right, but from what I've seen Kicktraq estimates are a bit on the conservative end.

I don't get the Monte-adulation.

It's a Kickstarter.  Fanboys will gather around it like moths.

Im gonna throw down abit of cash towards this kickstarter.  It'll be my first time doing this but everything ive read so far has made me really want to see this game succeed, and it's been a long time since we've seen a decent looking Science Fantasy game that was'nt just a licenced property adapted to D20 or some other system(usually badly) .

Between now and a billion years from now, dinosaurs could make a comeback and become extinct again several times.  And so could auto unions.  So my question is, will there be dinosaur/auto hybrids in the game that players can generate and roleplay?

If not i fully intend to make some coz that sounds like a cool idea!
