Greetings Archivists,
 
Apologies for the delay in communications. There are many moving parts to the crowdfunder, some of which are being heavily influenced by the new global Fear: tariffs! We want to reassure everyone that they will receive everything that we’ve promised and thank you again for your continued support. 

 

We have terrific news on not just one but two of the new books you helped to bring to life.*

 

*Books are not actually alive and no sacrifices were made to either The Stranger or The Flesh for the creation of these tomes!

 

With nine new statements and ten terrifying challenges, Make Your Statement is back from proofing and, after final checks from Rusty Quill, will be going to print this month! Delve into the Archives with nine chilling new statements and ten brand new investigations—ready-made adventures for investigators to embark upon. 

 

Those lucky enough to attend Gen Con, GameHole Con or Dragonmeet this year might be able to grab a space to play one of these adventures at the con. 

Bruce and Jonny have been hard at work on Face Your Fears and are expecting to make the first draft turnover to development and editing by the end of this month (February). Jonny has written a couple of amazing locations, complete with maps. One of those is Warehouse Complex B. The Artifact Dealer (known as Salesa in the podcast) is the purveyor of wonders and the trader of terrors, with an arsenal of bizarre and grotesque items in their inventory. Naturally, however, they need somewhere to keep these things when they are not being bought and sold. The dealer's main warehouse (Complex A) is where the dealer keeps their mundane and less harmful goods: weapons, drugs, black market technology, etc. The really messed-up stuff, though, that gets stored in Warehouse Complex B.

Face Your Fears is also replete with new monsters and NPCs (like The Candlemaker, Mr. Cold, and fossils of future past), new books (with titles like Art Appreciation, Children’s Tales, Das Buch der Wiedergänger), new artifacts (including the harbinger's head, the tombstone of the unknown soldier, the darkness flashlight, and the enticing cookie jar), new cyphers (such as bury it for yourself, curled into the spiral, drinking alone, and enjoy your sky), and a few additional locations designed for quick use.

 

Weirdness and Mystery a Billion Years in the Future

It seems that The Apocalypse is a Fear which keeps on giving. Eight previous epochs have risen and fallen. Now, after a billion years, Earth’s Ninth World has arisen from the ashes, welcoming you to its wonders, mysteries and terrors. The truly valorous delve for the secrets of the prior worlds not for the riches they bring, but because the mysteries and wonders of the numenera are a pathway toward a better future. Who will lead us into this new world? Who will tap the wonders of the ancients to defend the weak, bolster the sick and starving, and illuminate the ignorant? Who will build a new and better community, and bring vision to a world in darkness? Will it be you? Sign up now to find out!

 

 

Thanks again for supporting this project!
