We are a weekly actual play podcast using the Numenera (http://numenera.com) Discovery and Destiny rules. Set one billion years in the future, we journey across the Ninth World. There have been eight worlds before this, where civilizations rose to intergalactic heights only to fall into ashes, leaving a world of strange relics behind them. Join our ragtag crew of messy adventurers as they navigate weird ruins, contend with criminal intrigue, and ignore their own better judgment... Repeatedly.

Customer Reviews
Great fun story!!
I found this podcast looking for a cypher supers game and really enjoyed it! So I started listening from episode 1 and the storytelling, world building, puppets, and scorps are all awesome!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good real play podcast, especially if you enjoy Numenera and the 9th world!
Go exploring!
This is a great realplay podcast that manages to combine an engaging and suspensful story with fun (and funny!) roleplaying, all within the world of Numenera and the CYpher rule-system.
The cast is clearly having a great old time, and the GM has woven together a rich storyline that links together the character's lives and the strange and mysterious 9th world.
If you're looking for an introduction to Numenera, this is a great way to learn what it's like to play and be delightfully entertained in the meantime. Great stuff!
Fantastic atmosphere!
The GM and players have great chemistry with each other, the characters are distinct and interesting, and there's a nice balance of story and action to keep things moving. I'm not familiar with the world of Numenera, but had no trouble following along through context, and listening to this show has definitely piqued my interest to learn more!
