At first I was turned off by the game only having three classes but it should be emphasized that each class has a huge pool of abilities you will have to choose from, that when mixed with the focuses and whatever the other things are called, you get an astronomical amount of character variety.

There are also two Character Options books that expand on descriptor of focus options to personalize your character from the others. Plus the Character Options 2 book has two new types: The Glint (kinda like a bard) and The Seeker (Think Tomb Raider / Indian Jones). So that is 5 "Classes" and a ton of customize options of Descriptors and Focus

As a DM who has run years of D&D/Pathfinder and owns Numenera I will say that I LOVE the setting, but do find the rules to be just a little too light for me. Our group felt the world was hollow when players had few rules to limit them. I believe it takes the right group to play this system, one that is more story-creators than adventure solvers. raw mechanics wise, Numenera falls right in between modern D&D and the Fudge system. Numenera setting: 10/10 Numenera mechanics: 6/10 This episode: one of my favorites.

Great review guys, thank you! And omg, Cypher System Planescape game sounds like an absolute blast. TK808 FTW! ;) Just a note on Pools (Might, Intellect, and Speed); a character needs 2 of 3 Pools to go to 0 for the character to essentially be out of action. With 1 of 3 Pools at 0, the character is impaired, which means it's harder for them to apply Effort and they don't get the full benefit of special rolls, but they're still in the game.

I have had the books for Numerinera (pdfs) a while back you guys have gotten me exited to try and get a game going. With regards to DM intrusions, I would take a look at the Dresden Files RPG (and the system it's based from) as this [DM Intrusions] mechanic is clearly inspired by the compel mechanic in that game (which - it's a great mechanic I am happy to see more games adapt it). Specifically in that system there are mechanisms for the players to signify what sort of complications they are interested in having their characters experience and for the gm to pull from to create these complications.

I've been working on adapting D&D 5E rules to a Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign set in the years following the show. The house rules are about 10 full pages detailing all the superpowers of the Slayer Race, followed by 70 pages of homebrew backgrounds and lore detailing how the magic schools work. After flipping through the cypher system core rulebook, I can already tell the design doc for running the same campaign would be 5 pages max. Basically the rules for Slayers would use the Power Shifts optional rule in the super hero campaign chapter. All Slayers are Strong Warriors who blank, with the blank being one of the melee focused foci. They'll also get 3 power shifts in Strength, and at least 1 each in dexterity, healing, and resilience. They can also increase one of their power shifts by 1 whenever they successfully slay a master vampire (any vampire over 100 years old.)

I've thought about getting a copy of Cypher System to run for my homebrew setting, since I built it entirely without mechanics or a certain game system in mind. I ended up adopting Savage Worlds, since it is also a Generic System (Starter Rules were completely free, and the Core Book, the only book you need to run the game, was only $10) that can mix and match genres with virtually no work on the part of the GM, but still creates a solid ground of rules to to build your games off of. If I was in the middle of campaigns, I'd probably look into it more, especially since you guys did such a good job at detailing the way the system runs and works. Is it strange that most other people online couldn't really explain it in the same way that you guys did? Maybe it was just me, but multiple people on Reddit failed to fully establish how the mechanics worked. So I really appreciate you guys taking the time to explain it a helpful and succinct fashion. I'll have to check the rules out sometime, maybe when I'm not busy trying to run a Campaign. Which, honestly, isn't that often. I tend to try and jump back into Campaigns as quickly as possible, due to the way I run things.

Now-a-days when we plan a new one-shot or campaign, I find myself asking thee players "Do you guys want to Play D&D, Shadowrun, Numenera, etc?", but really what I'm asking them is which setting/genre would they want to play, because the mechanics are always SW! We get top play a bunch of different games which have there own tone and feel, yet we never have to relearn and master a new system: it really opens up doors!

Owning both systems, I find that both have their strengths and weaknesses. However, I have found that Numenera is unparalleled as an intro to role-playing games. It's an amazing load of my shoulders as a GM, and really engages the creativity of the people I'm playing with. Savage Worlds, I find, is a great second system to learn, but as the very first thing to expose them to, it's going to be Numenera.

To be fair, it's usually difficult for any DM to gauge how difficult a fight might be for their players unless they go and meticulously plan the battles. In this system, it comes down to "What do your players have available, to give them a reasonable chance to hit?" Anything that gives them a 45% or more chance to hit will generally be a challenging - easy fight. For example, a level 5 fight will give players a 25% chance to succeed their actions. Anything that helps them reduce that down to difficulty 4 or lower will make it less of a challenge to the party since Difficulty 4 requires a 12 or better to succeed. From what I can tell, if you want to challenge a party, give them some sort of threat that... after modifiers... sits around difficulty 4 or 5. because just that one level difference changes everything from a 40% chance of success to a 25% chance of success, respectively.

I think Palladium Fantasy since it was a competitor to D&D in the late 80's and it's amazing if it wasn't such a daddy's boy offspring RIFTS. I personally thought both settings were awesome and had more flavor in the fluff than anything D&D was doing at the time. But god damn that crunch was so hard it broke every single player I have ever seen, including myself. It is still my favorite game I have no hope to actually play.

Now, I'm actually considering maybe running my first campaign using the cypher system instead of D&D5e cause it does sound a lot more DM-friendly, especially if you're new to TTRPGs, and what I have in mind is more along the lines of a "you're regular people fighting monsters" low magic setting than "you're heroes and will win every fight" (which is what the 5e system seems to be tailored for), so this sounds like something I could make use of.

so have either of you tried the talislanta system or amber diceless roleplaying system? both are unique in settings and how they approach playing a rpg

Do we have any actual gameplay anywhere? I was hoping to do some Numenera play or try it with Cypher and a generic genre. Does it work well in solo play?

Not sure how I feel about the whole task element of the rules. I think I'm a little too attached to rolling dice as the DM. Really like the way you described character creation though, it sounds awesome as hell. As a side point, I'd love to see episodes touching on Dark Heresy and the other WH40K RPGs, the Middle Earth RPG, and possibly the Dragon Age RPG though I doubt the demand is high enough for the last one. Also some episodes on RPGs that failed but you enjoyed or enjoyed elements of would probably be cool too. Love this channel, keep up the great work!

Unless this is a difference between Numenera and the generic Cypher ruleset (which is very possible), on a fumbled roll, the DM can intrude for free without awarding XP. XP is only rewarded for intrusions that are not a result of a fumbled roll.

I LOVE Numenera. It's everything 4E tried to do but failed at. also, it was first and is simply better, in my opinion. Super stoked to see you dudes talking about it finally!!!

Wizard Dragon just curious do you mean D&D 4th edition? They are vastly different if so. Numenara is totally almost all theater of the mind and 4th is grid base. I think the closes system to it is fate.

I think what he means is that 4e tried to take a lot of the guess work out of adjudicating the rules. All abilities had clear descriptions that defined how they worked. The main problem I think that system had was it only truly worked well if you used the character generator, which they put behind a sub pay wall... that should have been free to people who already purchased the books. Also, I disagree with the entire notion that 4e eliminated "theater of the mind". You still had to use your imagination; especially when you were rp'ing. Combat was the only time you used mini's and even then you didn't really have to use a "grid" Spellcasters have had defined aoe for spells for every edition of DnD, 4e just expanded that ability to multiple classes.

Justin Howard I never said 4th eliminated theater of the mind I was just trying to say cypher and 4th are to vastly different systems. 4th uses precise measurements for everything and is very rules dependent for resolutions of actions. Cypher is way on the other side of the spectrum it uses vague measurements short , medium and long and has one mechanic for whatever may occur in gameplay. Not trying to start an edition war I happen to like 4th, but I really don't see the comparison to Cypher system.

Allow me to clear up the confusion that my clumsy fingers caused. I was trying to talk about 5th edition but ccidently typed 4th. Also, the term "theater of the mind" does not simply mean using your imagination. It refers to the type of play where you don't use minis or maps. I don't feel one could play Fourth edition that way.

Numenera is a great system for the more creative and intuitive role-players and GMs. So little of a campaign is reliant on stats and rules that creativity is really allowed to become the focus. I you like numbers and systems then this might not be for you. If you want to be immersed in a world with boundless options and storytelling as its central idea then you'll probably have a blast.

Numenera's setting is amazing. I wish they would collaborate with D&D and make an official 5e version of the game.

I think its a great game. Wiping the board clean and all that, going back to the three archetypes but yet... presenting such a depth of customization. Of course most of us are familiar with D&D in one form or the other and this is something else. But a lot of thought and creativity went into it clearly. Where it really shines is the fluff. It is a very cool world to play in. Those aeon priests... are they really so scientific and peaceful? Well read again. Its quite thought provoking. I like that. Plus... the corebook is all you ever need. Its all in there. Its a good game to start out with. Whatever system you are rooted in you have to give it some credit. Personally, i think its a masterpiece. I wouldn't mix up systems, although you clearly can. This stands best on its own, i think. The difference, i think is that D&D is a evolved system (with all its offshoots, i am looking at you 4th). This is in its infancy still.
