For countless millennia the great civilizations of the prior worlds ruled this Earth. They built cities and machines of unimaginable grandeur and scale. They reshaped the very earth, and cast away from it to the planets, the stars, and even realms outside our reality. Their works were beyond number and beyond wonder. But now they are gone.

The world we have inherited lies in their shadow—and their ruins. Their glory has all but crumbled to dust—but have we lost all that they left us? Can we sift through the remnants of the prior worlds to lift this, the Ninth World, from its age of darkness? Perhaps we can, but only if we call upon every ounce of our grit, our wisdom, our will, and the mysterious workings of the...

* All existing Numenera supplements remain compatible with the new corebooks

They say there have been eight worlds before ours. Eight times the people of this Earth, over vast millennia, built their civilizations. They reached heights we cannot even imagine now: they spoke to the stars, reshaped the creatures of the world, and mastered form and essence. They built cities and machines that have since crumbled to dust, leaving only their vast outlines and barest remnants.

This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain, in the places and devices that still contain some germ of function. The ignorant call these magic, but the wise know that these are our legacy. They are our future. They are the...

Irresistible value-adds make this a great deal and more desireable than buying the corebooks separately.

All existing Numenera supplements remain compatible with these corebooks.

The greatest work of the prior worlds: The Engine of the Gods!

Few who dwell in the Ninth World know of the greatest achievement of the ancients, for it rests—imperceptibly, despite its vast size—on the very edge of the sun itself. The prior worlds were mighty beyond conception, but even for them, this Engine is a work of staggering proportion. What incredible threat to the sun, our world, and all the bodies of our solar system compelled them to such an audacious feat? Has that threat been ended?

Or do the beings that dwell in the Engine (for yes, it is home to many strange creatures) struggle now in vain, unaware that their mission no longer protects them—or us—from a cataclysm on a scale that dwarfs even the boldness of the prior worlds’ most ambitious work?

Edge of the Sun details a massive new location for Numenera characters to explore: the Engine of the Gods. Fiercely hostile to human life, it can nevertheless be visited physically or virtually, where its many secrets, and dangers, await discovery.

Contains:
* A host of new creatures suited to life on and in the Engine of the Gods.
* Dozens of new cyphers and artifacts, plus augmechs—strange vehicles that can be piloted remotely to explore the Engine or used to reach other locations in the Ninth World or across the solar system.
* A map generator that lets you easily create infinite regions within the planet-sized Engine of the Gods.
* Two complete adventures. “Waking the Mega” introduces augmechs, as the PCs discover, revive, and ultimately pilot one against a titanic threat. “The Sun Doth Move” is a lengthy adventure with world-shattering consequences that can make an excellent capstone to your explorations of the Engine of the Gods—or to an entire Numenera campaign!

Ten complete weird and wondrous adventures, with maps, NPCs, and all the details you expect. An innovative format that lets the GM run a full-length game session with just a few minutes prep time.

A Ninth World heist, journeys in time and space, exploring dangerous ruins, encountering weird creatures, and much, much more.

Great advice on running adventures with little or no prep.

Nineteen beautiful, full-color Show ’Em illustrations, to reveal to players during the adventures.

Six pregenerated characters, ready to play if you need them.

A rules cheat sheet to make things run even more smoothly.

The Ninth World is vast, strange, and intimidating. But big adventures sometimes start small. Launch your Numenera campaign in this vibrant and relatable homeplace, filled with detail and life.

Establish relationships and backstory, and ground your game in an immersive world. Then venture out into the Glimmering Valley, and begin to discover the wonders, treasures—and dangers—of the Ninth World.

The Glimmering Valley gives you a fascinating and beautifully fleshed-out region from which to launch your Numenera campaign. It details an area of the Ninth World made specifically to be the origin point of a group of eager explorers. It brings Numenera back to its roots and gives players a place to call home. A place to defend if and when it becomes threatened—and a springboard into the many splendors and dimensions of the broader Ninth World setting.

The valley is filled with mysteries amid remnants of the prior worlds. The Glimmering Valley presents many opportunities to tie the player characters to the Ninth World’s weirdness as a part of their backstories, their families, their mentors, and particularly the origin of any weird abilities or technologies they wield. You can place the Glimmering Valley almost anywhere you like within the Ninth World, and let your campaign sprout from there.

The product unfolds like a campaign would, with a small village as a starting point—giving the PCs plenty of backstory material and potential friends, relatives, and rivals. The village is surrounded with mysteries and places to explore as you establish your campaign—and a looming threat, affecting everyone who lives in the valley, provides growing tension.

PCs who make their way to the far end of the valley find a city where they can experience more adventures, or that they can use as a gateway to the larger Ninth World beyond the valley itself.

The Glimmering Valley will be part of the crowdfunding campaign for The Weird.

The lands of the Ninth World are vast and filled with the leftover marvels of prior worlds. But the ancients didn't live and work their strange ways only upon the land, and the secrets, treasures, and deadly dangers of the past also lie beyond the vast horizons - and beneath the foam-flecked waves - of the Ninth World's great ocean.

Ancient ruins? Secrets? Treasures? Gods? Any of these, and rewards yet unimagined, may await discovery for those willing to leave the comforting familiarity of dry land and accept the ocean's cold, dangerous embrace. Into the Deep introduces new creatures, cyphers, and artifacts usable in any Numenera campaign.

Dark, Mysterious, and Filled With the Unknown

The people of the prior worlds reached for the stars. They engineered our world and others, opened doorways to other dimensions, and rewrote the laws of time and space. The remnants of these efforts litter the Ninth World, but they aren't limited to Earth. Through the magic of the numenera left behind by the ancients, the stars can be plied. Craft sail the void as if it were an endless sea, intricately designed doorways open onto distant worlds, and even stranger means of travel beckon those who are bold enough to cross the vastness of the night.

Like the Ninth World, the realms beyond Earth are mysterious, majestic, terrifying, and filled with the unknown. Will you join the midnight pilgrims and discover what lies beyond Earth's shores?

This book includes:
* Dozens of locations on the moon, elsewhere in our solar system, and beyond -all as weird and imaginative as you'd expect from the Ninth World's setting. Visit Branu' Kiss, the Thon Iridescence, the wreck of the Vlerryn, the cloud cities of Urvanas, and the Swarmstar, perhaps the strangest sight in the void.
* Multiple ways to escape Earth's embrace. Climb the Beanstalk, explore the Nightcraft, or step through the World Door.
* New creatures and NPCs, including the machine eater, the behemoth ulagra, and the murderous shadow of the void.
* Dozens of new cyphers and artifacts.
* New horizons of the imagination to fill your players with wonder and take your Numenera campaign to realms you've never before imagined!

The Ninth World is littered with doorways to the other dimensions. What lies beyond? Enter the Grinder of Infinities, explore the Whispering World, take a ride on a Silent Nyek—or enter mysterious Reeval, the source of the notorious Nibovian creatures that have mystified players since the Numenera corebook was first published. And even if your campaign never leaves the Ninth World, encounter creatures, NPCs, cyphers and more marooned in our universe from somewhere... outside.

Into the Outside continues the exploration of the Numenera universe begun in the hit title Into the Night. You’ll find it loaded with the weird and fascinating science-fantasy sensibilities that set Numenera apart from any other roleplaying game!

The first new Numenera tabletop title following the launch of the Torment: Tides of Numenera PC/console game.

Do you have Cypher Play: Numenera organized play in your store? Your players are going to want this title!

Explore a mysterious ruin of the prior worlds—or build ancient sites for your campaign!

Mysterious, powerful, and usually dangerous, the vast ruins of the prior worlds are the defining feature of the Numenera setting. The secrets and wonders they contain are a siren call to characters from across the Ninth World—and to GMs and gamers drawn in by Numenera’s unique sense of mystery and spectacle.

Jade Colossus: Ruins of the Prior Worlds explores in detail one such ruin, and provides in-depth content for creating endless weird and wonderful sites of your own invention. Run an entire campaign around the Jade Colossus, or integrate the site (and the fully realized nearby city of Ballarad) into your existing campaign as the location of one or more exciting adventures.

Or (and this is the really cool part!) use new Numenera Ruin Mapping Engine to create an infinite array of prior world sites ripe for adventure—with all the mystery and weirdness of the Ninth World baked right in! Create dozens of other sites of your own design, large or small, building an amazing campaign filled with imagination and wonder unlike any other RPG.

Jade Colossus is an incredible resource for Numenera GMs already running campaigns, and a great launching point for new campaigns as well.

Explore a vast new realm. Uncover never-before-revealed secrets of how the ancients shaped the Ninth World. Face the legacy of those secrets—and, possibly, the utter destruction of the Ninth World.

Over a billion years into the Earth’s future, great civilizations have risen and fallen, each attaining wonders beyond our wildest dreams and furthest imaginings. The remnants of these civilizations shaped the Ninth World into a beautiful but weird place of both wonder and danger.

You have explored ruins of the ancient past and found the magic there called the numenera. You have wandered the Steadfast and the Beyond, to discover cities and peoples you never knew existed. You have dived the ocean deeps and found that there, too, lie wonders of the past. Perhaps you have even followed in the footsteps of the prior worlds and voyaged to the stars, or beyond.

But the Ninth World still has more unexplored places. One of them is all around us, even now. It’s a network of ancient information, sustained by machines far above our heads circling the world far overhead. And it’s much more than that. It is knowledge and secrets, but it’s also a sort of place. A conceptual space. The datasphere.

Up until now, people have only caught glimmers of the datasphere. But recently access points, called vertices, have been discovered. Those who find these access points can use them to explore a metaphysical space and plumb the depths of its mysteries. Further, they can use them to learn of new discoveries in the real world. Whole new lands to explore. And even to uncover the mysteries of the prior worlds, and the grand actions that took place aeons ago, affecting the Earth, the Sun, and the other planets. Actions that have an impact, perhaps a massive impact, on our world today.

This hardcover Numenera sourcebook offers a new land in the Ninth World, discovered only through clues found in the datasphere. What new people live there? What wonders do they command? Do they know more about the mysterious prior worlds than you do? Do they have cyphers and artifacts never before seen by anyone from the Steadfast or the Beyond?

Liminal Shore will offer answers to all these questions, plus new creatures, new NPCs, and new adventures for your Numenera campaign. Be the first to explore a whole new land!

Calaval’s Parable of the Spider holds this lesson: We can no more comprehend the remnants of the prior worlds than a spider can comprehend the cathedral in which it happens to have built its web. Just as our works are beyond the understandin, or even complete perception, of the spider, we cannot understand or even fully perceive the works of the ancients. Calaval was, of course, the first Amber Pope, the founder of the Order of Truth, and the first leader of the Aeon Priests. How well do you understand them?

A night of gaming that's as easy to set up as a board game. Just add gamers!

What's the hardest part of running an RPG? It has to be the preparation. Unlike a board game, you can't just spontaneously decide to play, because someone has to have spent hours preparing an adventure first.

But what if running a great game didn't require any more time for the game master than it does for the players? What if you could just say, "Let's play an RPG," pull a book off the shelf, and be playing five minutes later?

With Weird Discoveries, legendary RPG designer Monte Cook turns his eye to the venerable adventure, a format that hasn't seen much innovation in four decades, to create something new that makes this all possible. Weird Discoveries makes prepping for an RPG no more difficult or time consuming than setting up a board game, while showcasing the wonder, mystery, and awe of the Ninth World.

The Things that once slumbered in the hills and hollers, beneath the earth and beyond the eye, have begun to wake. They stir and breathe. They see you and know your innermost heart, those long dark tunnels of pain and sorrow and secrets. They call to you in voices deep and dark, voices ancient and unknowable, voices full of pain and promises—and no way to tell between the two. Come to us, those voices say. We have only just begun.

Long before anything human roamed the Earth, the Appalachian Mountains towered tall and menacing. Their might was made a prison and tomb for beings of immeasurable malice and incomprehensible madness. But time shows no mercy, not even to mountains, and now they lay bare and worn like an old man’s spine. The walls of the prison grow thin, and those that have slumbered soundlessly for millennia begin to stir.

And call to those who would hear them.
