None of these slots are permanent, but we might form ongoing weekly, campaigns in future weeks if there is enough interest , and we can form groups of players that get along, and are interested in the scenarios, my GMing style, and setting. If you need more information, Numenera is all over the gaming community,
since Monte Cook recently got the largest kickstarter in history, over
$500,000 US to launch this. Google "Numenera" Monte Cook's Numenera Site <a href="http://www.numenera.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.numenera.com/</a> Sean K Reynold's Review on YouTube:

The scenarios and the GM for this are generally serious in tone , although the setting is weird and strange, set on Earth a billion years in the future. The overall tech level of the default setting is about 1000 AD, so it seems sort of like a more high-tech D&D explore the ruins adventure with some high tech strangeness, and weird super powers added in. The genre is Science Fantasy , exploring ruins, and discovering the lost remnants of 9 prior galactic civilizations on earth that are Human, Mutant, and Off-planet aliens. Abandoned spaceports, flying cities, vast deserts where whole multiplex cities were burned to a crisp, thousands of years ago. Very much like the old style Gamma World games, especially the older editions, except not quite as many mutations, and the tech is more one-shot use. Many of the things the characters find or discover will be strange and weird with barely understood powers, that are of such a high technology level, they seem to be "Magic." Characters can carry a few of these around, but many items of lost technology are one shot use, and disposable. Another property of the game system is that Characters do not advance by combat XP, but by discovering ancient artifacts and ruins. There are characters that resemble D&D traditional Wizards, Rogues, and Fighters, (in Numenera, called Nano, Jack, and Glaive, respectively), The game system itself is very simple and was designed by Monte Cook author of 3.0 D&D, and 3.5 D&D, but much simpler system than both of those. It lends itself to a narrative, descriptive styles, i.e not normally using a map and tokens, more using narrative description by players and GM (although maps, pictures, and diagrams are sometimes used.) No experience necessary, There are pre-generated characters available as follows for two adventures. There will be pre-made characters set up by game time for each scenario. Players new to roleplaying or Numenera are welcome.
