[Numenara] Exploration of Future's Past

I will be running a game on Saturday, around 8pm EST, and I'd like to find 1 more player. The planned adventure will take 2 or 3 sessions, and then we can expand it into a full campaign if the players are interested. It will be a game of exploration, discovery, and overcoming adversity in a post-post-apocalyptic world. We will use the Numenara system, and the setting will be Earth, 1 billion years in the future. Essentially it is a medieval world filled with the remnants of lost civilizations. There are humans, aliens, mutants, cyborgs, and stranger things. There are also castles and kings, knights and brigands, and dungeons both technological and mystical. There are nano-machines in the air, space stations in the sky, and immense machines chugging away under the earth, and no one knows how any of it is possible. You will blaze the trail in a young civilization's path towards regaining the knowledge of it's forebears. About Numenara: I think it's a very interesting and streamlined system, but this will be my first time running it, so this game is partly to playtest the system itself. If you've played a d20 RPG before then I can teach you the Numenara system in 10 minutes before we start playing on Saturday. If you're already familiar with Numenara, I'll be making a few house rules (such as removing the meta-gaming elements like the XP rerolls and the GM Intrusion mechanic). My goal is to allow players to immerse themselves in the world and the characters. I will provide pre-gen characters to choose from, or you may create one from scratch if you wish (from the Numenara Core Book). We'll spend about 30 minutes before the first session introducing characters and establishing simple backgrounds. Just come prepared to use your curiosity and imagination and I'll provide the rest. This will not be a game where you get experience simply for killing things. There will be plenty of combat, but there will also be plenty of opportunities to avoid it. The largest problems you will face in this game cannot be overcome simply by rolling dice. Rewards will come from curiosity, exploration, and gaining a new understanding of the world around you. All players are absolutely required to have a microphone, as we will be using Ventrilo for voice chat (the client is free to download). We'll use Roll20 for everything else. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll be happy to answer when I can.
I would be a new player if chosen for Numenara, but I'm an experienced roleplayer and Pathfinder player, and I'd like to give a new game a shot.
That sounds fine. Do you plan to check out the Numenara system ahead of time? Right now there are going to be 2 players going in blind, but if you read the rules ahead of the game then you can make your character to your liking.
Interested! but still very new to tabletop (played a few sessions of pathfinder but thats it)
More than interested. Lol, if you have an opening I'd like a seat at the table :) In the process of getting the core and player books to give them a run through before the game if chosen. I can create a character or use a pregen, whatever is convienient for you the GM.
