It’s just on the other side of the Clock of Kala, almost overlapping with the world map in the core book. If you really wanted a fast trip, you could take civilized transportation to the southern parts of the Steadfast, cross Seshar to Nebalich and the Sere Marica, sail through the Imoros Strait to the Navae Marica and once you reach the eastern shore you’re pretty much there.Īs the Explorer’s Guide says, travel in the Ninth World is never easy and this wouldn’t be a safe trip by any means. You don’t need to hop a spaceship or travel through a portal to get here… Heck, you don’t even have to trek through particularly dangerous terrain to get there. but if you have the original core book, the Ninth World Guidebook, Into the Night, and/or Into the Deep, then you have so many different locales to work with already even before you consider the sites in Into the Violet Vale, Vortex, and other adventures. Of course there are new locations in here, it’s set in a whole new part of the Ninth World. Now that I have the whole thing in front of me, there are a few great reasons to get Torment: Tides of Numenera Explorer’s Guide even if you don’t ever end up playing the computer game.

(If you’re reading this, Shanna Germain and Monte Cook, your scheme worked and I will probably be won over with free previews of anything you make). I grabbed the free preview, though, and realized it was a little more than that. So why should I get a book to mine through when I already have more Ninth World material than I need? But I’m not planning on playing Tides of Numenera, at least not anytime soon. That sounds great and if they had one of those for Planescape: Torment I would snatch it up.
I imagined a really awesome book that brought to life the towns, plots, and NPCs from the computer RPG for your tabletop game. So why was I hesitating on getting this latest sourcebook? Well, first of all I didn’t know what was in it. I’ve backed every Numenera Kickstarter since I read the first book through. In my mind, the best parts of this setting were combined with the best parts of Ptolus to make a truly impressive creation. I loved the original Planescape: Torment computer game too and still quote it with my brother. He could be charitably called a “tough” Dungeon Master but I was drawn into the majesty of Monte Cook’s setting. It was actually my first foray into RPGs at the rough and uncaring hands of my cousin. Let me start by saying that I am a huge Planescape fan boy.
Now there’s a new sourcebook out that ties into the Torment: Tides of Numenera game set in the Ninth World, yet I wasn’t sure I wanted to get it. I have been ever since I got the original Numenera core book I wasn’t lucky enough to jump on the original Kickstarter but I got it soon after and was enraptured. So it’s probably not a secret that I’m a fan of the Cypher System.
