Update on the Numenera Kickstarter by Monte Cook

I posted once before about this Kickstarter project and decided to do so once again. Monte Cook has made a science fiction role playing game called Numenera and started a Kickstarter to help fund it. And as of right now it has 6 days left and is at a current total of $298,016! Which is amazing because at the start Monte asked for only $20,000 to fund the project.

Not only is the shear amount of money being raised for this amazing but so are all the rewards you get with the stretch goals. Which are coming and going quickly. You can check the project page in the morning and again at night and see that at least one if not two stretch goal have been passed.

Plus you get so much cool stuff for a great price! I'll list below a couple of the popular backer levels so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about! (P.S. the amount pledged just went up $100 since I started writing this.) (sorry make that $160) (again sorry. that's $220) (one last update before I publish this. The Kickstarter raised $415 dollars since I started writing this!) (as I had to do some formatting adjustments the total amount it went up $670!)

THE REAL DEAL $60 Level (+$10 for shipping outside North America)

App (Android, iOS, or PC)

The Devil's Spire 32-page adventure PDF
The Mechanized Tomb 32-page adventure PDF

Cypher, Creature, and XP Deck PDFs

Those are two of the levels I can't decide between. I really think the only difference is the additional $10 to get the Corebook in print. And it looks like the Real Deal doesn't get the exclusive adventure. Now there are a TON of other backer levels with varying amounts of cool stuff. I know some of the higher levels will have physical copies of the Cypher, Creature, and XP decks as well as the adventures, bestiary, compendium, player's guide, and GM screen. But I'm okay just a PDF and printing my own for now. But go check out the page and get in on something really cool. More money and awareness raised for Numenera means the further Monte can expand the series!


Oh and I nearly forgot to add that Monte added the option to pay via PayPal if Kickstarter isn't your thing. From the Numenera link I posted above you will find the PayPal option in the left sidebar. It has all the same reward levels listed with its own PayPal button. This just shows how much of an awesome guy Monte Cook is! Thanks Monte for putting together such a great game and fun Kickstarter!
