The Way of the Dinosaur - Converting Predation for Numenera and The Strange
 |
Loot the Cretaceous for your Numenera or The Strange game! Looking for an incredible new recursion for your game of The Strange? Hoping to introduce genetically engineered¸ cybernetic-enhanced dinosaurs into your Numenera campaign? Or maybe you just want to port some new cyphers¸ character options¸ and creatures into your next adventure. Predation uses the Cypher System-the same "game engine" that underlies both Numenera and The Strange. Although the settings differ¸ they share fundamental mechanics: task difficulties are rated from 1 to 10; characters use Effort¸ skills¸ and assets to reduce that difficulty; and a d20 is rolled to determine success or failure. Characters are described by a single sentence: "I am an adjective noun who verbs." And although the types¸ creatures¸ cyphers¸ and many descriptors and foci differ from game to game¸ the form in which they are presented¸ and the way they fit into the game as a whole¸ remains the same. The Way of the Dinosaur lets you take full advantage of these commonalities¸ giving you all the tools you need to lift material from Predation and drop it seamlessly into Numenera or The Strange.
