EXPLORE! DEFEND! CREATE!

If you aren't aware of The Strange, please go to their website (https://www.thestrangerpg.com)and the kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1433901524/the-strange-a-tabletop-rpg-by-bruce-cordell-and-mo)to find out about them first.

We have 2 regular attendees and are looking for more.

We play most Sundays 2 out of every 3 from 7 to 10ish East. Stand. TMZ (-5). We use chat for RP and Teamspeak for clarifications and communications.

A couple of things up front:

You must sign a NDA with your real name and submit to me before character creation, so that I can send it to MCG Inc.
Will make use of the Numenera Ruleset in the Development version of FG
This is a playtest things can and will change most likely. Critique and opinions are welcome, non-productive criticism is not.


The Strange, like Numenera is aimed at exploration and discovery. Since this is a playtest, the goal is to try things out and have fun; we are going to be trying out their rules and if necessary try modified rules.

Gameplay should be mostly serious, with some tongue-in-cheek and easter eggs from various books, games, tv shoes, movies, and games. The recursions for The Strange will be drawn from these different sources as well as unique and setting provided ones, main concept behind some potential recursions will be "The World as a Myth" as from Robert. A. Heinlein. The first 2 recursions are planned, though player input is welcome.

CHARACTER GENERATION

Character creation is rather simple, same as Numenera,
I am a _(adjective)_ __(noun)__ who __(verb)__!

There is a handful of scenarios that we need to work our way through which require us to somewhat jump in level periodically to test them out.
