When they awaken, they are no longer the same. None of them has ever spoken aloud of what they dream during that night and one shaman can barely stand the sight of another. They serve their tribes faithfully, but it is easy to see the deep resentment in their eyes.

Is numenera not generally liked here? I never see it get talked about.

>>52260180
It has its problems (which mostly boils down to COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK), but there was one very dedicated shitposter lately.

>>52260327
I was gifted the system by a friend who wants me to run it for the group, I'm not terribly familiar with Cooks work or why that's bad, but any advice or things to watch out for?

>>52260472
Nanos get more and more fun options than Jacks and Glaives. (Class balance / caster supremacy. Cook loves his casters.)
Despite being a futuristic sci-fi game the setting's tone and feel are just like your standard fantasy setting, only with technobabble except for "magic, i ain't gonna explain shit". I actually quite like some details to setting while not being impressed with setting itself ( for example there's a lot of fun technology to play with in the supplements, not counting all reskinned D&D items).

Cypher system is weird (think of your stats more like of pool of points with which you do things), but many abilities depend on those stats so by doing things you progressively get worse at doing things. I guess this is made to resemble exhaustion but that's not the funnest way to do things.

In general system doesn't QUITE provide what it advertised and hangs somewhere in the weird middle between FATE and D&D. But it's easy enough to learn so it's not that terrible, only mediocre.

>>52261044
As for complete mechanics, quick and dirty fix is to allow Glaives to take a second descriptor. This won't fix all the problems, but it won't necessitate rewriting an entire class. Better option would probably be Character Options book - it adds some more interesting stuff for Glaives (and even MORE options for Nanos, haha).

XP and Bennies being one and the same thing isn't a good idea on paper and it sure isn't a good idea in practice. i suggest giving extra XP for players based on TOTAL XP gained from Intrusions, not the XP they are left with.

As for setting... Personally, i think the better inspiration on how to do Numenera would be not the core book, but Moebius' Arzach, Fantastic Planet and the like. Pick the weirdest sci-fi and binge on it.

>>52261235
Oh, and: Out of three stat pools:

>Might is most easily damaged since it's exhaustion, punches and most physical stuff.
>Speed is the second, as you will probably have to do precision tasks. The enemy things that damage speed are poisons, toxins, stun damage and the like.
>There are only few things in the game that specifically harm Intellect, though this could be counteracted with meeting lots of weird-ass computer technology (just not to the point of hate-targeting your nano, wizards are people too).

Keep this and overall pool drain in mind when designing tasks - you DON'T want to primarily target one pool (then again, the whole "pool" mechanic just feels iffy).

>>52261329
Bear in mind that if your bank gets hit two or three time, he's going down the damage track too. Might damage dealt to nanos is a big deal, intellect damage dealt to Glaives usually isn't.

>>52264656
*Nano gets hit, not bank.

Don't drink and autocorrect kids.

>>52261235
To add on to what he said, using character options 1 is a great 'fix' for the glaive as their options in the core book trend to be constrained. Nanos also get more options but it's not as big a change in scope as it is for the Glaives.

Except for Far Step, which is broken.
