Iadace, and welcome to this week’s edition of The Cypher Chronicles and to the year 2015! We have a lovely holiday break, and now we’re back playing lots of catch-up. Bear with us while we answer your emails, respond to your messages, and get back to the business of taking care of business!
Here’s to kicking off an amazing near year of games!
PRODUCT NEWS
- Ninth World Guidebook is still available for pre-order. You can also download the free preview to see just what we have in store for you with this beautiful book!
- You probably already have many of the Numenera books as PDFs, but if you don’t (or if you know of someone else who has been wanting them), the current Bundle of Holding is a great way to get a whole lot of books at very little cost — and to support two important charities in the process.
- Wondering where to get all the Numenera news that’s fit to read in the new year? Official sources to be part of include: subscribing to our updates right on this site, which gets you the weekly Cypher Chronicles as well as all of our news right into your inbox; following Monte Cook Games, the Weird of Numenera, and The Strange RPG on Twitter; liking Monte Cook Games, The Strange, or Numenera on Facebook, and subscribing to our MCG channel on YouTube. We also have a Pinterest account, which isn’t news, per se, but it has lots of pretty pictures.
OTHER EXCITING THINGS
- Topless Robot did a wonderful list of the great games from 2014, and included The Strange!
- Shanna was invited to a recent Transmissions from the Ninth World podcast, where she talks all about the Ninth World Guidebook, and hardly gives away any secrets from the Ninth World.
- Interested in running or playing Numenera or The Strange (or any other RPG) via Google hangouts? Here’s a helpful video that shows you how to do just that.
- Monte and Shanna are Guests of Honor at Confusion in a few weeks, where they’ll be doing all kinds of fun panels, interviews, signings, and readings!
BEHIND THE SCENES
Currently, we’re working on the Kickstarter Boxed Set edition of Numenera! We don’t have anything to show yet, but come back next week for some early pictures of Kieran’s new art.
We also just received the hand-tooled tomes of The Strange from the leatherworking artist. Once we take some photos, we’ll share them around, and then send the beautiful books on their way to their backers!
