Book Description
They say there have been eight worlds before ours. Eight times the people of this Earth, over vast millennia, built their civilizations. They reached heights we cannot 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 vast outlines and barest remnants. This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are gonescattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain, in the places and devices that still contain some germ of function. The ignorant call these magic, but the wise know that these are our legacy. They are our future. They are the... Two 416-page corebooks, two poster maps, a handsome and sturdy slipcase, a metal medallion, and additional play aidsall for the price of the corebooks alone. All existing Numenera supplements remain compatible with these corebooks.

Book Description
"There have been eight previous worlds ... Each left behind remnants. People of the new world, the Ninth World, sometimes call these remnants magic, and who are we to say they're wrong? But most give a unique name to the legacies of the nigh-unimaginable past. They call them Numenera. The Ninth World is built on the bones of the previous eight. The game of Numenera is about discovering the wonders of the worlds that came before, not for their own sake, but as the means to improve the present and build a future."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
Numenera is a science fantasy roleplaying game set in the far distant future. Humanity lives amid the remnants of eight great civilizations that have risen and fallen on Earth. These are the people of the Ninth World. This new world is filled with remnants of all the former worlds: bits of nanotechnology, the dataweb threaded among still-orbiting satellites, bio-engineered creatures, and myriad strange and wondrous devices. These remnants have become known as the numenera. Player characters explore this world of mystery and danger to find these leftover artifacts of the past, not to dwell upon the old ways, but to help forge their new destinies, utilizing the so-called 'magic' of the past to create a promising future. Numenera: Character Options is a supplement for Numenera and provides new options for Numenera characters. In addition to new descriptors and foci, Numenera: Character Options offers new mutations, new non-human races, new esoteries, new fighting moves, and new tricks of the trade. It also introduces new kinds of descriptors, expanding the concept to include character origins and negative traits, along with new rules for customizing characters, switching descriptors and foci, and more!

Book Description
Numeneras Ninth World is a fantastic vision of a world in which hyper-advanced civilizations have risen and fallen and left their inventions behind. Their achievements became part of the accumulated detritus of eons - and now this assortment of ancient power is there for the taking! One of the denizens of the Ninth World has discovered a way to use the numenera to grow strong, cheat death, and skip across the face of centuries in a succession of bodies. But, he discovers an unexpected side effect: You! Set in the world of Monte Cooks roleplaying game setting Numenera, Torment: Tides of Numenera is a game of deep reactivity and immersion into a new and strange vision.
