OOC Thread

Because every campaign needs one.

Yo folks this is my first time ever being in a Numenera game so hopefully I dont mess it up. Thankfully I got the various pdfs and knowledge of the setting and the sheer weirdness of it

Sssh the weirdness is what makes us all special snowflakes made out a crystalized version of a deadly gas. In all seriousness once you get your one sentence everything is either crunch you select or RPing.

No worries. Mechanically, I think it's pretty easy. I'm a new-ish GM so I'm going to be learning how to do intrusions well and whatnot.. long as you guys don't mind me getting up to speed, I'm pleased to have another newbie along!

I too am new to Numenera but have played many different systems and GM quite a but more. I have the system down for the most part, easily enough to play, but will be skimming the books from time to time to refresh.

I'm pretty rusty on Numenera myself, so it sounds like I'll fit right in :)

Other than just dusting off the old hardcover, the Cypher Speak podcast did a great 12 minute Rules Primer episode for anyone wishing to brush up or learn the core mechanics of any Cypher System game, including Numenera. In general, the Cypher Speak podcast is fantastic; Troy and Darcy are two of the best hosts in RPG podcasting.

I'm also completely new to this system. Looking forward to it though!

Found this awesome pdf for the rules break down.

Apologies that I've been incognito -- I'm on vacation after friday and work is diabolical right now. My vacation is a 'staycation' so I'll have plenty of time to get caught up. I haven't disappeared at all, just working long hours before I disappear from work.

No worries, falryx! The holidays have got me by the nuts at the cake shop as well so I honestly don't think I'll be able to contribute much til after Christmas.

The seasons as well as avoiding the internet for fear of Last Jedi spoilers has kept me away for the last few days.

Well it's the last Jedi though...

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope everyone had a restful holiday / end of year season. I, myself, did a whole lot of nothing. Much time spent with family and playing games with my kids. It was a good time, and I'm actually ready to head back to work tomorrow (and to have the kids back at school).

Can I get a quick role call to see who's back and ready to roll? I think TGR is still due to have his character up -- but we can get rolling without him and when the character is together we can interleave him easily...

SHESTENDELIATH ANSWERS THE CALL!

Present and accounted for

I'm still here.

Still here.

Ready to make some gear.

Okee dokee. I think I need to give you guys cyphers and oddities -- so I'll get that rolling. Once we're there we should be all set on character generation. I'll recap the group dynamics that you've figured out thus far and we can see if there are open questions we need/want to resolve before pushing this cart down the hill...

Quick check in - work is kicking my butt lately. I'm alive, but working to keep my head above the proverbial water with work and family obligations. Poke me if the waiting gets untenable for you, please.

No worries. I'm available and interested in this game for when you're able.

No worries, Falryx!

Still here. The wait is actually been a blessing for me. A lot has been going on with me as well and I think I may have dropped from the game if it had started earlier. Silver lining I guess.

Still here as well!

Probably going to be ~February before sanity /pretends/ to creep back into my life. Off to a conference this weekend for most of the week and then I'm sure I'll be slammed again with work as I catch back up.

Duly noted, and thank you for keeping us informed. No worries!

*Thumbs up* take your time man.

Hey everyone, I'm going to drop out of this game in order to take up another opportunity. Hope it turns out great!

Just checking in -- conference in Hawaii went well, but, as advertised ate up a lot of my time. I'm in recovery phase now. Hopeful things settle down here in a little bit. I think we're still looking at a week or two before I can get meaningfully rolling with this and feel like I can post nightly.

Still around and willing, and thanks for the update!

*Thumbs up*

Sticking with you falryx.

Hey folks -- checking in. I keep thinking that "this is the week it clears up" -- and unfortunately it's not. It's possible things will get more sane when I've hired another exec onto the team, but I think the reality is that this game needs to officially pause until work gets less crazy.

Realistically, I probably can't plan for that to be true before April at this point -- so if you guys like, we can just kill the game for now, and I can spin it back up in the future. That way you don't feel an obligation to keep checking in and if you want to pick up another game you can.

I'm inclined to do that -- but I'll keep the game open if you'd prefer and would like to use it as a place to chat, and do a little low key roleplaying / worldbuilding in the character creation thread...

I'm fine either way. I get work. I might be done with my one shots for Genesys by then and trying a few other ideas for the system as well.

No worries at all! I'm also fine either way. If we kill the game off, we all still have our characters and haven't really started, so its not like we'd lose anything. I'd still like to give the game a go, so I'd always be up for an invite to dive into the system.

I good either way as well. I do not see many Numenera games pop up so I would like to keep my place here. Can't wait to not talk to all your characters.

Hey folks -- I'll keep this forum alive for now -- but assume it's on ice until further notice. I'll check in again after spring break (April 13th or so) and will see how work's treating me then. My assumption is that it's not going to change significantly. But I'll check in.

Short version: I'll check back in in about a month and give a heads up, however the outlook isn't awesome.

No worries, and thank you for the notice.

It is what it is till it isn't.

Too true

Hey there -- checking in. Work remains pretty busy. I do have a new hire which I hope will reduce some of the load and make some more time in my day, but it remains touch-and-go. We're down to just a couple of you. I'm going to close the game for now and see if some time opens up later and then reconsider running it.

ok, it's been fun
