The Ninth World waits for no one! But for real, the doctor said it wasn't anything serious and I'm mostly just tired from waiting four goddamn hours at the hospital. I'll have an update posted in the next hour or so.

Just chiming in here to say that i've been enjoying the story inmensely so far to the point that i check the thread an unhealthy amount. I hooe Custo has been fun to DM for as well since i have been making some stuff up on the fly and this is the first time i've actually played a character and game this wordsy, that tale took me like an hour and i only just noticed it all somewhat rhymes :haw: , sorry if custo is going a bit overvoard on the visual aspects of it. He is just so drat happy to be performing again with his first friend graddus

I thought the visuals were really cool! Makes sense considering what you were doing too. It's not like they were just coming out of nowhere.

I'm delighted that you guys have enjoyed it so far! Everyone here is absolutely EXCELLENT players and your characters are all a blast. Also AzMiLion, Custo's story was fantastic. I wasn't expecting the visuals nor the descriptions of the holograms, but going that extra mile guaranteed you charmed the pants off the whole alehouse.

I'll have an update posted in a bit.

As an aside, I'm playing Vance's and Custo's connection as not religious/superstitious but as Vance being amazed because of the existence of something as complex as fully functioning spacetime manipulating android that doesn't have thought processes that are completely alien to humans and has survived who knows how many collapses of civilization.

Well, there's still a second part after the guff with Evanna and the Narthex is completed, but if you guys are receptive to it, I'm highly interested in continuing this group. I have more pre-mades, but I can already think of some original adventures to run the group through. But hey, only time will tell!

saberwulf, I've been enjoying the hell out of the game so far. The Whispering lurker thing that happened was not what i expected to happen at all. Also love the fact that Custo has had a bunch of development and background being expanded on by both of us since i get the feeling we have the same general direction to take him in.

For my question, since Custo is a synth, can i have him walk in the lake after Nara? He basically runs off of some form of battery and has spent ridiculous amounts of time underground without oxygen so in my mind he should be able to but if you're not OK with it i'll axe the post that i'm about to make in thread.

edit: if you want me too i could spend might or intelligence for either not breathing or managing energy processes whilst underwater.

Yeah, that's cool with me. I imagine he's shielded somewhat, though if he enters deep enough water, or uses a lot of additional power, I'll call for periodic checks. I'll use GM's discretion on what constitutes both.

Makes sense that stuff costs more power down there, I like to think of it as Custo using the Ward skill to keep out the water, so he's not so much actually getting wet, but pushing the water away from him.

More technology mostly. and if you find a matching port on Custo it'd be even more technology. Would be funny to have some form of hardlink between Nara and Custo. If the tech advancement keeps up we'd be a party of mutes that speak to each other telepathically by the end of the adventure.

On a side note, I need to go and find me a bunch of sound effect youtube links, I spent half an hour looking for a single instance of a windows Stop/Critical error noise, couldn't find it. Would've gone in the post where Custo reboots. Maybe next time! since apparently everythng backfires on Custo lately, same thng goes for my other character in the other numenera game at the moment. He managed to flip/crash a cart and flee the crime scene. This was after somewhat annoying the caravan leader as well. Numenera with good DM's is fuckin great.

Should i add the fact that Custo is somewhat waterproof to my character sheet? Linking the post you explained the mechanics of the system in, Would make it easier for both of us to keep track of Custo's "Features".

Also, if this place ends up being related to Custo's history he might end up becoming Comrade Custo, Friend to all. in which case, you clever bastard.

Saberwulf, I took some liberties in the post i made, mostly about what custo sees and hears once he entered the datasphere. If you're not okay with that please say so and i'll stop doing that. Trying to gget across that custo's a bit disturbed by the things he saw at the lake, on the dish. And the memory thing is mostly related to his backstory stuff, not so much recent times. I also think we are roughly in line on what we both think custo was in the past but that might not be a discussion for this thread since it's supposed to be a big unknown for him as well.

I'm having a good one so far, spending most of my time drunk and with friends. Shooting off some professional fireworks in two days so that should be great as well. A jet engine is involved as well i think.

Yep, Numenera is a great system and saberwulf is a very entertaining DM.

I've been reading through the rules and stuff, seems there's a lot of potential for mutations and changing your character but nothing specifically for synth/robotic characters though. Should we eventually reach a campaign with flying dragons and that kinda stuff Imma start looking for a jetpack module for custo :D
