As my players have led a successful revolt in the main town of our Into the Odd campaign, I thought it might be useful to publish the notes I used to run it.
Worked example of Into the Odd GM notes
Improving Cypher and Numenera
I like Numenera, especially the setting (even if it is a bit canon-heavy). But the Cypher system has some weaknesses, and I want to talk about how to improve them at your own table.
Hack Publishing
I published a couple of game hacks for the Acoustic Cover Jam this week, both of which started out on this blog. You can find my conversion notes for Numenera using Into the Odd as well as World of Ultraviolet Grasslands there.
Depthcrawl for Into the Odd
I wrote and ran a depthcrawl based largely on Numenera content for Into the Odd. Here are my exact notes for it as well as a write-up of our experience running through it.
Tweaking World of Ultraviolet
The playtest of World of Ultraviolet continues, so I wanted to write a bit about what has changed so far. This includes hit points, a slight tweak to talents and abilities, and an important set of additions to the main resolution mechanic.
Going further Into the Ninth World
I continue to iterate on how I run Numenera content using Into the Odd, building also on work by Jason Tocci.
Luck in Electric Bastionland
I had an idea to use the Luck Roll in Electric Bastionland together with other mechanics to add a little spice and reward players who avoid damage.
Assorted Mothership D10 Lists
Inspired by the Mothership RPG Discord, here are some random tables of android malfunctions, undead astronauts, and mysterious alien devices.
World of Ultraviolet v0.3
We've started playtesting World of Ultraviolet (World of Dungeons in Ultraviolet Grasslands) and the game is starting to shape up a little more.
Those Who Came Before – Session 3
Session 3 of our Into the Odd campaign sees the group rest in town, trade their treasure for coin, and head to their next adventure site.
