Anyone hankering for a game in the 9th World?
I'm reading up on the many source books I have...

Numenera?

I too hanker to role play a billion years in the future. I have never played Cypher System in PbP, but it seems like it would work really well.

I'd be up for it. Which all books would you use? Would you use Character Options 2 as well?

I've got most of the source material -- character options 1 and 2 would be fine. I have them both.
Let me get a bit of a better handle on work and the source material and I'll spin something up and invite y'all in.

I've been brushing up on the system as I haven't played for awhile, and I discovered the Cypher Speak podcast with the amazing Darcy Ross and Troy Pichelman. I found the Rules Primer episode and the Numenera 101 episodes to be good reminders of system and setting that I was able to consume during my commute.
This wiki post on Numenera terms was also helpful in reminding me of the rules in a concise manner.
Looking forward to the game!

I've made it through the CRB almost cover to cover. Will be reading up a bit on some of the ancillary material and working something together. Trying to listen to a combination of Styx and Pink Floyd during my commute as inspirational music to feel suitably Ninth World Weird.

What is your avatar, falryx? It looks like a burka-driver or maybe a nun playing Skyrim.

From the very fun "What's In Your Avatar?" thread:
Since I was focused originally on FFG Star Wars games, I thought this would be thematically appropriate. Where it's hideously inappropriate (e.g. Middle Earth) I've adopted a 'player' known as Falryx for the game where I use a different avatar. :)
falryx says:
My avatar is from when SW:The Old Republic came out on PC a few years back. My youngest son (then around 3) had a hooded bathrobe that was black that made him look like a little Sith. We were playing through one of the Sith character stories together and I took this photo on my phone. Notice the lightsaber resting casually on the desk...Since I was focused originally on FFG Star Wars games, I thought this would be thematically appropriate.

Hey all,
I've put some thought into the character I want to play. Without defining too many details before falryx defines the parameters of the game, I thought it would be fun to play a Paladin-style character in the far flung fantasy future that is The Ninth World. Someone bound by oaths and dedicated to a cause.
Because each character is supposed to have a different Foci, I thought I'd just check if anyone else was interested in Absorbs Energy from Character Options 2? If not, I think that would match my character concept well.
