Game

= Setting =

File:Numenera Logo.png

Numenera is set on Earth approximately one billion years in the future. The setting is called "The Ninth World" due to the fact that eight civilizations have risen and fallen prior to the current era.{{cite web|url= http://transmissionsninthworld.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-billion-years-in-future.html|title= Transmissions from the Ninth World:A Billion Years in the Future!|date= 5 November 2012|accessdate= 15 May 2013}}

= Character creation =

Players fill in the blanks to the statement:

;"I am a __________ __________ who _________s."

The first blank, the adjective in the sentence, is filled in by a character's "Descriptor", a way to describe the character's strongest characteristic.
The second blank, the noun of the sentence, is filled in by a character's "Type", which is a "Glaive" (a warrior type), a "Nano" (a technology adept type), or a "Jack" (as in jack-of-all-trades).
The third blank, the verb of the sentence, is filled in by a character's "Focus", or what the character is most known for or their special talent.{{cite web|url= http://transmissionsninthworld.blogspot.com/2012/11/creative-characters.html|title= Transmissions from the Ninth World:Creative Characters!|date= 27 November 2012|accessdate= 15 May 2013}}

= Technology =

The name "Numenera" is a reference to the bits of technology left over from past civilizations. The word "numen" is a Latin root word meaning a "pervading divine presence"{{cite web | url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/numen | title=Numen Definition & Meaning }} and "era" refers to the period (1 billion years in the future) in which this universe takes place. The world is utterly filled with "nanites" (the divine presence) that some beings in this universe can tap into and control. With a nod towards Clarke's Third Law, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic","The Sorcerer of Rhiannon", Astounding February 1942, p. 39. the setting treats technology with much the same approach as magic in a fantasy setting. The native tech level is roughly medieval.{{cite web|url= http://transmissionsninthworld.blogspot.com/2013/02/eponymous.html|title= Transmissions from the Ninth World:Eponymous|date= 25 February 2013|accessdate= 15 May 2013}}

Launch

Numenera was launched via a Kickstarter campaign and set a record for "most money raised for a tabletop role-playing game" at $517,255 by 4,658 backers,{{Better source needed|date=March 2024|reason=previous link to Kickstarter.com is a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist.}} surpassing the previous record set by the Kickstarter for Traveller 5th edition.{{Better source needed|date=March 2024|reason=previous link to Kickstarter.com is a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist.}} Originally intended just to fund the initial core rulebook, the campaign more than doubled its funding goal within the first 24 hours.{{Better source needed|date=March 2024|reason=previous link to Kickstarter.com is a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist.}} "Stretch goals" that were announced as the level of funding grew increased the output of products, ending up producing an entire game line.{{Cite web|url=http://www.richhowardauthor.com/2012/09/numenera-kickstarter-from-monte-cook.html|title=Numenera: A Kickstarter from Monte Cook|first=Rich|last=Howard}}

''Numenera Destiny'' and ''Discovery''

This two volume replacement for the original rulebook was crowdfunded in 2017. This new iteration emphasized on exploration, discovery, and building. It also incorporated a few revisions from the Cypher rule system that had been released subsequent to the original Numenera release.{{cite web |title=Record-breaking RPG Numenera is getting a sequel next year |url=https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/news/record-breaking-rpg-numenera-is-getting-a-sequel-next-year/ |website=Tabletop Gaming |access-date=1 July 2022 |date=20 September 2017}} Calling itself Numenera 2, it also used a Kickstarter campaign for initial funding, obtaining $845,258 from 4,185 backers.

Numenera: Discovery is a revision of the original core rulebook. The Jack character type was substantially revised to be more distinctive compared to Nanos and Glaives. Also added are player intrusions, a mechanism allowing players to alter the environment by spending an experience point. Legacy material from the original Numenera book, not included in the new edition, were made available for free as a PDF.{{cite web |last1=Ryan |first1=Charles M. |title=Original Corebook Legacy Content in PDF |url=https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/original-corebook-legacy-content-in-pdf/ |website=Monte Cook Games Store |access-date=1 July 2022}}

Numenera: Destiny is mostly new material offering three new character types: Arkus, Delve, and Wright, new descriptors and new foci. The book emphasizes crafting along with community protection and development with these character types taking lead positions in such an endeavor. A major section on crafting mechanisms and a major section on communities are provided. The manner of running a community game can be described as treating the community as an NPC in the game with stats that the player characters enhance. New monsters, NPCs, and settings are also offered in the Destiny core rulebook.
