Monte Cook’s latest setting Numenera has the weight of the world on it.
The RPG was announced last year, after Cook had quit the DnD Next project. The Kickstarter asked for $20,000 and raised $517,255 from 4,658 backers.
Bigger money followed.
As a “sequel” to Planescape: Torment, Brian Fargo and inXile, launched Torment: Tides of Numenera. This was also a Kickstarter project and one which raised $4,188,927 from 74,405 backers.
So Monte Cook’s Numenera is not just the RPG he quit DnD Next for, not just a half million dollar RPG but also the setting for a four million dollar computer game. Pressure, right? Cook, thanks to stretch goals, will also be writing for the computer RPG.
Over at DriveThru RPG Monte Cook published an item called Numenera Preorder. Kickstarter backers need to check they’re not already due a copy of the game.
At the time of posting there’s a hefty discount on the price. I’m told the usual £38.59 is reduced to £12.86. Swapping to US$ that’s a drop from $60.00 to $19.99. I’d call that a big discount.
Numenera pre-order, available at DriveThru RPG.
