Monte Cook Games were kind enough to send me a review PDF copy of the forthcoming Predation campaign setting for the Cypher system, written by Shanna Germain, it’s an excellent book that blends future-tech, survival in the ancient world and dinosaurs together into a coherent campaign. You can see my full review below:

Monte Cook games were kind enough to send me an advanced PDF of their forthcoming Numenera supplement, you can see my review of it by clicking on the link below:
DBJ’s Ultra Rules Lite System
Davae Breon Jaxon posted his ultra rules lite RPG system to the RPG Tabletop 1-shot Group the other day, it reminded me of a mix of Dungeon World, Numenera and Aspect Only Fate (which is no bad thing), I liked it so much that I wanted to share it with other people.
Please note: I had no input into creating this, full credit goes to DBJ, I’m simply boosting the signal 🙂

Character Generation for Mythos Themed Numenera game (video/live hangout)
Below is a link to the live event where the character gen will be taking place.
Numenera style Fate Accelerated character generation
One of the mechanics that I did like was that a short sentence is used as a character descriptor that takes this form: “I am adjective noun who verbs.”
So how would that work?
For example: “I am a quick pirate who is captain of the ship, the Crimson Dagger.“
This character would get +0 on all approaches besides sneaky (one which he would receive a +2), could invoke/have compelled the concept of thief as per the normal rules and would have a stunt that allowed them to gain a +2 when striking from the shadows.
This isn’t a 100% foolproof or completely defined method at present, but I certainly think that it has potential.
