Numenera – The Devil’s Spine, Part 1.

by  • 

THERE HAVE BEEN EIGHT PREVIOUS WORLDS.

Each world stretched across vast millennia of time. Each played host to a race whose civilizations rose to supremacy but eventually died or scattered, disappeared or transcended. During the time each world flourished, those that ruled it spoke to the stars, reengineered their physical bodies, and mastered form and essence, all in their own unique ways.

Each left behind remnants.

The people of the new world—the Ninth World—sometimes call these remnants magic, and who are we to say they’re wrong? But most give a unique name to the legacies of the nigh-unimaginable past. They call them…

NUMENERA

Yeah, it’s weird.  The Devil’s Spine is a campaign in which the players’ discovery leads them on a quest to save their own lives from an invasive parasite and prevent the spread of a virulent enemy that threatens all life in the Ninth World.

Unless they try to kill each other first.  They are player characters, after all.  :\

CORE – The Red Tower

by  • 

Capone’s reign has ended, and it remains to be seen how much of Chicago’s corrupt infrastructure will be dragged down with him. As two-bit criminals scramble to establish themselves in the power vacuum, the exposed corruption presents an opportunity for muckraking socialists to provoke the downtrodden into revolution. Meanwhile, the government must intervene to stop the Commies and audit the more legitimate business holdings listed in Capone’s infamous ledger.

Two agents for the Treasury’s Bureau of Investigation and two inspectors for the Food, Drug, and Insecticide department combine their efforts in an attempt to clean up Chicago’s notorious meatpacking district.  What they found would shock the world. . .

. . .if anyone would believe them.

The Red Tower, written by RPPR’s Caleb Stokes, was used to playtest the CORE RPG rules.  The scenario was streamlined and simplified for playtesting purposes, and this session does not represent the breadth of options the scenario provides.

There were still plenty of scary things.
