Echoes of the Prior Worlds

ADD TO WISHLIST >

EXPLORE THE WORLD

The worlds that came before the ninth call out to us from dusty ruins and icy peaks.  The explorers among us may salvage the past to bring new light to our future, but only at great cost. 

In this our first Exploration we delve into a baker’s dozen short adventures for speedy use by Numenera Game Masters in need.  Echoes of the Prior Worlds provides 13 easy-to-deploy one-page stories that revolve around seeking out and facing the secrets of the past, each with its own full page set of maps.  The book boasts three new Foci for use by players, as well as two new Descriptors, all perfect for new characters that are ready to dredge up the past through daring escapades.

Each adventure is carefully constructed around the Discovery XP system presented in Numenera, a stark departure from more combat oriented play and an easy way to entice your players into further exploration of the Ninth World.

This book includes:

  • 13 dangerous adventures and 13 full page maps, with a focus on discovery-based XP.
  • 2 new Descriptors:  Grizzled and Intrepid.
  • 3 new Foci:  Catalogues the Past, Maps the World, and Scales the Impossible.
  • Suggested GM Intrusions for spicing up your game.
  • Story seeds for even more adventuring.

A review by Origins of the Dark God can be found here:  http://originsofadarkgod.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/echoes-of-the-prior-worlds/ 

"For the price of $3, I would have been happy walking away with any two of the chapters of this book.  With all three I am thrilled.  Echoes of the Prior Worlds is chock full of great ideas and mechanics."

The adventures frequently refer to "ambient damage" yet I can't find a definition of that in either the adventure book or the Numenera core book.

Hi Bruce. It's on page 93 of the Numenera core book. It's basically just damage that can't be absorbed by Armor rating.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
