Welcome to the world of It’s Only Magic. This book covers every aspect of GMing and playing the Cypher System in a world of spells, glamours, ghosts, and demons—but that world is the world you know so well, because you live there. Modern magic, interacting with today’s society, technology, and culture, is there for the taking. But it’s your campaign, so it’s exactly what you want it to be: a cozy witchcore setting, or a world of dark, supernatural forces threatening existence itself. Or maybe just a bit of both. A setting where magic is right out there in the open, or where it’s a secret known only to a select few.

When menace looms, the best among us don’t flee danger—they face it. With might and powers beyond that of mere mortals, they stand before the forces of injustice with confidence. They leap into dark and daunting dangers. They slip the bonds of gravity and soar. They claim the sky itself!

In a world that could use a few heroes now more than ever, you can join their ranks. Claim the Sky takes the Cypher System into the realm of superheroes, with a hefty book chock full of rules, character options, genre advice, and a complete, ready-to-use setting that makes the most of the superhero genre.

Whether creating your own heroes or playing your favorites from comics or movies, Claim the Sky makes you the hero.

Make the most of your Ptolus campaign and easily breathe life into the setting with quick access to the myriad details that make it so immersive.

Ptolus’s 672 pages are crammed full of incredibly inspiring content—a breadth and depth of detail unmatched by any other RPG product. The book is uniquely laid out, and filled with thoughtful features, to make it easy for the GM to access that information and make every Ptolus adventure a rich tapestry of immersive details.

But it’s still 672 pages. Crammed full of information.

The Ptolus GM Screen puts loads of useful Ptolus info right where the GM needs it. It complements the book’s high usability, making it even more of a joy to run. And for the players, there are four panels of stunningly beautiful Ptolus art to set the mood.

This version utilizes the DnD 5th Edition system.

Explore a sprawling fantasy city, presented in amazing detail and steeped in lore and atmosphere. Delve into the extensive dungeons beneath its streets. And maybe, when you’re ready, ascend the Spire that looms overhead, the heart of an ancient and restless evil.

Ptolus: a city of mysteries, secrets, and dark histories that lies forever in the shadow of an impossibly tall spire, an enigma and a reminder of evil long past. Below the city’s streets a seemingly endless network of ancient dungeons draw adventurers from all corners of the Empire.

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

Few who dwell on the Ninth World even know of the greatest achievement of the ancients, for it rests—imperceptibly, despite its vast size—on the very edge of the Sun itself. What horrific danger—what incredible threat, to the Sun and our world—compelled them to such an audacious creation? Has that threat been ended? Or do the beings that dwell upon 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 cataclysm on a scale that dwarfs even the audacity of the prior worlds’ most staggering work?

Features:

A massive new location for Numenera players to explore. Many areas are highly detailed, plus a mapping engine makes it easy to generate additional adventures on this continent-sized ruin.

New cyphers, artifacts, and creatures, plus augmechs—machines that can be virtually piloted anywhere—make this an appealing book for all Numenera and Cypher System players.

Includes multiple adventures.

The Godforsaken Lands are places where the gods themselves cannot go. It’s a paradise in the homelands thanks to the power of the gods, but only the bravest, strongest, smartest, and craftiest of mortals dare explore these blasted, blighted, lands of old. And now your player characters can join those ranks. Can they survive the demon-haunted songs and monstrous Emperors of Hate? Now you’ll be able to find out.

Godforsaken will be a 160-page sourcebook on fantasy that details a brand-new original setting, some Cypher Shorts adventures, and much more. It will be automatically included in the I Want It All! level and above, and it’s now also available as an add-on.

Bring the Ninth World alive on your gaming table. These fullcolor characters and creatures are printed double-sided on thick, heavy gameboard stock, and come with plastic bases. Dozens of Numenera characters and creatures are ready for play. A simple, inexpensive way to bring an entire minis collection to your game table.

Dozens of characters of all types and descriptions, along with loads of creatures. There’s nothing cheap or flimsy about these—heavy double-sided board stock gives them great tactile as well as visual appeal. Numenera creatures and characters have a unique science-fantasy style.

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.

Liminal Shore contains:

• An entirely new, previously unexplored region of the Ninth World, unlike anywhere you’ve ever been.
• Scores of new cyphers, artifacts, and creatures, all flavored by the unique nature of the Liminal Shore.
• Several new sapient species, including three suitable as PCs. Play a winged caterpillar-like creel, a shelled wholkin, or a mysterious, fungoid spirant.
• Two complete adventures. “Unusual Vitality” pulls unwitting characters into the Liminal Shore, making it a perfect introduction to the new setting; “Pieces of My Heart” helps them explore and understand this strange new land.

The vislae’s road has many steps. Shadow. Satyrine. The Path of Suns and the worlds of the Actuality. But are there even greater mysteries? Further steps? Deeper secrets to reality?

Yes. Visla at the height of power and understanding eventually seek the Labyrinth. To enter the Labyrinth is to leave the Actuality forever. Perhaps to die, or worse. Or perhaps to transcend; to find oneself upon new shores. Entering the Labyrinth requires the highest mastery of magical power, knowledge, and skill. Few vislae can truly aspire to it, and even fewer succeed. Is it a maze? A test? A crucible? A step into a greater existence? The only way to find out is to cross the threshold. . .

This final supplement for Invisible Sun focuses on the campaign finale. Invisible Sun is uniquely built around story arcs, and this title supports players bringing their game’s arc to an exciting, mind-bending conclusion!

The slipcase that comes with Book M fits that title plus Teratology, Secrets of Silent Streets, and this book. Any Invisible Sun player who has Book M will want to complete the set with this book.

Unique presentation blends game material with fiction in an innovative way.

Gives potential players a look inside this visually stunning, mind-bending game and its unlike-any-other-RPG setting. Does not come shrinkwrapped.

They say there have been eight worlds before ours. Eight times the people of this planet built civilizations we can’t 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 barest remnants.

This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But traces of their works remain, containing some germ of their original function. To the ignorant, these workings of the ancients are magic. But the wise know differently. . . .

Beneath the Monolith brings the critically acclaimed setting of Numenera to 5e. Explore the ruins of incomprehensible civilizations. Discover ancient technologies so advanced that most people think they’re magic. Encounter creatures weird, fierce, and dangerous. Open doors to new worlds and alternate dimensions. And, perhaps, unlock some of the mysteries of the prior worlds.

Most Ninth Worlders know the datasphere only as the source of mysterious glimmers—those odd, unbidden flashes of knowledge and insight that, rarely, embed themselves within the mind. Some who study the numenera call it a network built by the ancients to surround the world with their knowledge. Some Aeon Priests say it is in fact many such networks that sometimes, but not always, intersect.

And then there are those who have explored it. They tell stories of a vast metaspace that one can actually enter, to emerge in wholly other places—and along the way discover treasures and dangers unique to a bizarre realm unconstrained by the laws of nature.

Some of these sages and adventurers believe its exploration offers the greatest key to unlocking the secrets of the prior worlds. Are they right? Only one thing is certain: the datasphere offers amazing knowledge to be learned, rich treasures to be discovered, and all-new challenges to be overcome.

Voices of the Datasphere contains:

-An entirely new mode of play, in which characters translate into the virtual metaspace of the datasphere and become avatars of themselves in a bizarre and timeless realm. Explore the datasphere itself, or use it to travel vast distances across the Ninth World.

-Nine sample nodes—encounter spaces within the datasphere.

-Numerous secrets of the prior worlds, such as the likely purpose of the Clock of Kala, long locked away within the knowledge vaults of the datasphere.

-New cyphers, artifacts, vehicles, and creatures.

-Two complete adventures that take you into the datasphere!

A lot can happen in a campaign. The Numenera Character Portfolio is more than just a sheet. At 24 pages, it records all your character’s pools, abilities, skills, cyphers, and everything else you find on your character sheet. But it also gives you room for notes, sketches, and details about those abilities, cyphers, and artifacts. Jot down thoughts about your character’s appearance and mannerisms. There’s plenty of room for notes about connections to the other PCs in your party along with people, creatures, objects, and locations you meet in your adventures. Keep a campaign journal, or make maps and sketches of places you’ve been.

The Numenera Character Portfolio is perfectly sized to give you plenty of space within, but without taking up too much space on the gaming table. It’s printed in full color on heavy matte paper that takes pencil and eraser easily. Even the cover is easy to write and draw on, making every player’s Character Portfolio unique from the outside in.

Prepping for an RPG doesn’t have to be any more difficult or time consuming than setting up a board game. The innovative Instant Adventure format has GMs up and running adventures in just ten minutes. The ten adventures in this book aren’t sketchy outlines or adventure seeds—they’re complete adventures, with maps, creatures, Show ’Em illustrations, and all the details you expect, presented in a unique format optimized to let the GM hit the ground running with minimal prep.

Explorer’s Keys contains ten complete Instant Adventures for Numenera.

You can even string them together as an entire campaign for months of effortless play! This trove of exciting adventures is a must-have for beginning and veteran Numenera GMs.

For a billion years this Earth has teemed with life. Nature has crafted innumerable species—and thousands more have been shaped by the prior worlds. There is no end, it seems, to the variety of life to be encountered in the Ninth World. And all of it is interesting, usually weird, sometimes creepy—and often very, very dangerous.

This lavishly illustrated tome brings over 130 new Ninth World creatures to life. Innovative features such as size comparison diagrams, one-creature-per-page layout, and heavy cross-referencing make this book a joy to use—at the game table or while prepping your adventures. And it includes encounter tables featuring creatures from the Numenera Discovery and Numenera Destiny corebooks, plus all three Ninth World Bestiaries, making it easy to look up creatures from every major source.

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 understanding—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?

Explore the Order of Truth. Learn its many secrets. Work with the Aeon Priests, discover how they can optimize your character’s abilities and equipment, or even join the Order as they seek to bring the wonders of the prior worlds into the Ninth World.

A failed assassination of the Amber Pope. An ancient army awaiting activation. Sixteen adventures in two exciting campaigns to interweave, run separately, or use as standalone adventures.

An automaton army led by a mad delve could topple cities, nations, and even the Amber Papacy itself. Elsewhere, an Amber Gleaners waystation is found burned and deserted. Slaves of the Machine God contains two story arcs in eight parts each. They interweave to create a rich, multithemed campaign—or can be run separately as two multi-adventure mini-campaigns. Most of the parts also work well as standalone adventures, providing a dozen full-sized adventures the GM can insert into any ongoing campaign.

Strong, Fierce Glaives. Reality-Bending Nanos. Jacks of All Trades.

The characters of the Numenera RPG are varied and intriguing—and there are so many options! Even after you choose to be a glaive, will you be a Charming glaive who Leads, a Learned glaive who Wields Two Weapons at Once, or a Graceful glaive who Rides the Lightning?

Create characters, explore the setting, and learn the basic rules in this inexpensive player’s alternative to the Numenera corebook. It’s perfect for getting a taste of the game, having an extra rules and setting reference on hand at the gaming table, or for game masters to hand to new players. The Player’s Guide is a fantastic, ready resource for anyone playing Numenera, and a wonderful introduction and teaching tool for the game.

The Numenera Player’s Guide packs a lot into a 64-page package:

• An overview of the exciting Ninth World setting
• The basic rules to play Numenera
• Everything needed to create characters in a step-by-step process
• A variety of options that allow players to create the characters they desire

Terrible beasts. Abhumans. The iron wind. Ancient machines that lurch to life unexpectedly—or leave communities desperate when they catastrophically fail. The Ninth World is awash in dangers left by the prior worlds. But these ancient remnants also hold the keys to the future. Those brave enough to discover and study the amazing structures, weird devices, inscrutable automatons, and extradimensional gateways can unearth the knowledge and materials to build the future. Discover new kinds of numenera items, along with the plans and materials to construct them yourself. Explore the ruins of the prior worlds, uncover their mysteries, and from their secrets begin to build a new tomorrow for the beleaguered people of the Ninth World.
