Monte Cook Games has announced the Numenera Player’s Guide is now available in print as well as PDF. I have to admit I’m not sure what the selling point might be since the main gist of the press release focuses on simply having a second rules source at the table. I’d have to assume there’s much more than that in the book in order to tempt buyers? The 96-page softcover book is available for $19.99 or as a PDF from DriveThruRPG for $7.99.
From Monte Cook Games:
Create characters, explore the Ninth World, and learn the basic rules of the Numenera roleplaying game with this inexpensive player’s guide. It’s perfect for getting a taste of the game, having an extra reference on hand at the gaming table, and building new characters. The guide is an easy-to-access resource for anyone playing Numenera and a wonderful introduction and teaching tool for the game.
The Numenera Player’s Guide includes:
- All the basic game rules for this fast-paced, story-based tabletop roleplaying game.
- An intuitive, concept-driven character-generation system, with scores of options for building just the character you imagine.
- An overview of the unique and wondrous Ninth World setting.
Your gaming group will also need at least one copy of Numenera Discovery and Numenera Destiny to play Numenera, but the Player’s Guide is an inexpensive option for having a second set of rules handy at the gaming table.
