Numenera Roleplaying Game: Technology Compendium Hardcover

Monte Cook Games

The namesake of the entire game line, the "numenera" are artifacts, oddities, and little bits of almost magic-like technology left to the Ninth World by a billion years of previous civilizations. Now the Ninth World's foremost expert, the redoubtable (though perhaps not entirely sane) Sir Arthour, brings nearly 1,000 new items to the Numenera gaming table!

Numenera Roleplaying Game: Ninth World Guidebook Hardcover

Monte Cook Games

A billion years in the future, humanity struggles through a dark age amid the remnants of eight great civilizations that have risen and fallen on Earth. These are the people of the Ninth World, a world filled with remnants of all the former worlds: bits of nanotechnology, the dataweb threaded among still-orbiting satellites, bio-engineered creatures, and myriad strange and wondrous devices. These remnants have become known as the numenera. Explore this world of mystery and danger to find these leftover artifacts of the past, not to dwell upon the old ways, but to help forge new destinies, utilizing the so-called “magic” of the past to create a promising future.

From the frozen lands beyond the Southern Wall, to the volcanic desert of Vralk and the weird, faroff realm of Corao, the Ninth World Guidebook takes your Numenera campaign into uncharted territory, literally expanding the setting beyond the borders of the corebook’s maps, and introducing adventure hooks, new creatures, new character options, and the incredible level of detail, imagination, and weirdness fans love about Numenera!

Cypher System RPG: Unmasked Hardcover

Monte Cook Games

Top Gun is in theaters. "Papa Don't Preach” is on the radio. Halley's Comet is in the sky, and Iran-Contra is in the news. The Soviets are in Afghanistan, and the Doomsday Clock is at 3 minutes until midnight. But there's something else going on—something even bigger. At school, at the mall, down by the 7-Eleven, you've started noticing things. Is that troll doll really glowing? Is that cassette tape calling to you? Why doesn't anyone else seem to notice?

And when you follow that strange compulsion to create a mask from these items, you become . . . someone else. Someone with capabilities the world has never seen and goals that may not be your own. The mask gives you unimaginable power, but can you resist its agenda? And there are others starting to show up, too, who may have embraced their masks' dark sides. Maybe that Doomsday Clock matters after all . . .

Unmasked includes:

• A complete, ready-to-play campaign setting of superpowers and psychological horror for the Cypher System.
• Four new types and a load of new foci—and a new approach to superpowers. In your mask form you might be a Metal Head Smasher who Lives on the Dark Side or a Show-O Changer who Flies by Night, but on school days you're a regular teen dealing with bullies, grades, and New Wave fashion.
• The complete, ready-to-use town of Boundary Bay, NY, as well as detailed information and guidance on creating your own small-town setting—or using your own town, circa 1986!
• New creatures, NPCs, and threats.
• A complete adventure set in Ocean View High School, plus a plethora of tools and advice for building your own adventures and campaigns based around the mystery of the masks.·
