I like choices. When I created Numenera, I intentionally made it so that there were lots
of interesting choices available to players, with
descriptors, types,
and
foci.
What soon
became evident to many players, of course, is that it’s not just a matter of the choices
available in those three categories, but the combinations created. A
Strong Jack
who
Works
Miracles
is different from an
Intelligent
Jack who
Works Miracles
in interesting ways, and
they’re both very different from a
Charming
Jack who
Carries a Quiver.
That’s why the original
Numenera Character Options
book was such a natural fit.
More choices. More descriptors, more foci, and more type abilities, plus some other
miscellaneous stuff. It was fun to write, added a lot of variety, and was very popular with
players.
So as we expanded the world of Numenera even further, with books like the
Ninth World
Guidebook, Into the Night,
and
Into the Deep,
it felt very natural to do another book filled
with more options. As the world grew bigger, it made sense that more options would be
available. Some—like location-based descriptors—sprang right from those new locations.
And the ability of characters to travel into the night, for example, made foci like Fell From
Another World or Ventures Into the Night much-needed additions. But of course, lots of the
new options in this book are actually just fun additions to the game no matter where the
action takes place.
However, probably the biggest news for Numenera fans is that this book contains two
entirely new character types, bringing the total number of types from three to five. The
Glint
and the
Seeker
will really expand the horizons of players making new characters. In
particular, I like how both of these types are so heavily focused on activities like interaction
and exploration, which both lead to the core focus of Numenera, and that’s discovery.

Throughout this book, you’ll see page
references to various items accompanied
by this symbol. These are page
references to the
Numenera
corebook,
where you can find additional details
about that item, place, creature, or
concept. It isn’t necessary to look up the
referenced items in the corebook, but
doing so will provide useful information
for character creation and gameplay.
