Ayrphish's The Beale of Boregal - Numenera

Game Master Ayrphish

Would run the intro adventure from the back of the CRB.

Any interest?

There's an adventure in the back of the CRB?

Interest !

My friend has been oozing about the system because he runs one. I would have interest.

I would be interested.

I guess I can't say about your CRB, but in my PDF, I have a few different adventures. The one I would run is The Beale of Boregal.

The group i am in (run by GM Aubster) just finished Beale of Boregal. it was a very interesting adventure that leaves several options of how to proceed afterwards! very fun. I wont apply to this game because the plot is still very fresh in my mind, but i encourage people to give Numenera a shot.

I picked this up last week, and would be curious to try it out.

I have a level of interest which exceeds zero by a finite, but measurable amount.

I am have a high level of interest in this.

Just wanted to wish you luck with the recruitment. I just ran the same adventure and it went very well. The rules work well with PBP and are easy for newcomers to play.

Alright, I will get a recruitment thread up in the next day or two.

Put up a separate official recruitment thread yesterday. Or would you all just like to make characters and use this forum that we have already communicated in?

I think this forum would be alright.

This is Graynore. My submission is a Mystic Nano who crafts Illusions. Kwiz'mie walks around in a suit and top hat while carrying a sword cane. He is a bit social inept and at times laughs for no apparent reason. In his small oddity, he has seen a character called the "mad hatter" and often thinks that they are companion spirits.

Bobby Diamond is a Tough Jack who Carries a Quiver. He's got a cheesy oversized mustache but a stylish leather coat and a great sense of humor.

Link: 1d4 ⇒ 4 - I stepped in to defend a PC when that character was threatened. While talking to them afterward, I heard about the group's task.

Jack Connection: 1d20 ⇒ 18 - I used to work with a troupe of traveling minstrels and performers, and they remember me fondly (as do people in the places I've visited).

I'm going to need a PC to have given me my bow, and eventually I'll need to secretly pick another PC to accidentally hit occasionally.

Great.

I will get you two your cyphers tonight.

Looking for 3-4 more players!

I am interested in the description of the campaign setting. I will grab the numeneria book tonight and see what I can come up with.

Your three cyphers are:

Your two cyphers are:

(Hoping I did those cyphers right. Might double check me)

which books would I need? do I need the CRB or just the player's guide?

(Hoping I did those cyphers right. Might double check me)

You can pick whatever cyphers you want to give us anyway.

Think the Player's guide is all you need.

I just can't decide...so I'll let the unseen entities of numenera decide my fate :)

Background: Im the go to guy for local guards and glaives when they need things fixed up on the hush-hush, as such i spent many drinking free drinks with them when I am not at work in the forge.

Crunch

Klokk -remind me of the item when it gets closer to starting and I know all the players.

Spaz, your two cyphers are:

1d100 ⇒ 50 Magnetic attack drill

I'll take up to two more players before we start.

Ayrphish:
I need you to give me two of my oddities.

My connection is: Pick one other PC. This character is never
fooled by your illusions and is never affected by the trickery of
your special abilities. You can choose whether or not you know
this fact.

Thanks Boss, What about the oddity? or is that kinda up to me?

Kwiz, we'll do you connection once I have all the players.

Sorry, completely blanked on the oddities.

Kwiz, you have:
a) Metal and glass disk that, when pressed against flesh, instantly etches a tattoo of a black scorpion
b) Sphere that produces vigorous bubbles when placed in water

Klokk, you have:
a) Blob of clay that takes on various mysterious shapes when left alone

Spaz, your oddity is:
a) Shirt that displays your muscles, bones, and internal organs when you wear it

Bobby Diamond, your oddity is:
a) Egg-shaped device that temporarily negates all odor within 3 feet

Sorry, but I will have to bow out. It seems I do not have the time for this that I thought I would.

I'd like to get in on this, I'll post a character later today? Thanks!

That works

Galtar - a mystical jack who explores dark places!

FYI - I used the iPad Numenera character creator app for this.

A Graceful Jack who Fights with Panache

About to jump into this in my tabletop group. Really interested. Are you full?

Filios I will let you be the last one. And then we'll get started.

I will get cyphers and oddities to you all soon. I have a busy couple of days coming up, but I haven't forgotten you. It's easiest for me to post during the day, but left my CRB at home :\ So I will get it, patience with me for a couple days :)

OK i've got my glaive finished. all Ready to go!

Getting excited.

Toss out the rolls, we can look them up :)

No worries, I am looking forwards to seeing how this works out.

From Filios:

Jake Dash is a swift Jack who wields two weapons at once.

Stats and background will appear in profile by end of tonight.

@Ayrphish: Jake is ready to go, except for Cyphers and Oddity.

Looking forward to getting started!

Created a profile, re-used an old Alias as I'm sick of seeing all these unused alias' staring at me on my account page.

Need Cyphers and Oddity and background is kind of scarce, but otherwise complete (i think).

@Voss & Laris: What are either of your thoughts on being the PC that I train with as my connection, giving the two of us a +1 to Speed Defense when we fight back-to-back? Your character builds would seem to lend themselves to us fighting in such a manner.

Ok, let me just make sure that I have everyone, and what everyone needs to finish character creation. Then we can do some rolls for stuff, and if I am not able to look it up, someone else can tell you oddities and cyphers, and I will shoot for starting on Monday.

Kiwz'mie : Finished and ready to go?
Bobby Diamond: Needs a connection with another PC?
Spazmodeous: Ready to go?
Klokk: Ready to go?
Galtar: Cyphers and Oddities?
Sal Arch: Cyphers and Oddities?
Laris: Cyphers and Oddities?
Voss: ?
Jake Dash: Cyphers and Oddities?

Is this everyone, and what does everyone need?

Yup, I need somebody to have given me my bow. The good news about volunteering for this is it means I don't get to pick you for the person I hit when things go pear shaped.
