I wouldn’t know it if there was, but I’ll throw that out there just in case. Warning: There is a “minor spoilers” warning at the front of The Explorer’s Guide, so I’ll repeat that here – there may be some sort of minor spoiler for the video game contained in this review. (If you’re into the video game and want to learn about the tabletop RPG, you can check our review of that right over here.) If you’re like me, you won’t be able to read The Explorer’s Guide without thinking how awesome it could be to run into this character or visit that place in the video game, but it is not a video game guide. It is set in the world of the Torment: Tides of Numenera video game, but it is not about the video game. I’d put some sort of profane intensifier in that sentence, but this is a family friendly place.įirst things first, let’s be clear about what The Explorer’s Guide is – it is a supplement for the Numenera tabletop roleplaying game. The book will be released at GenCon 2016.

And when Monte Cook Games asked me if I’d like to review an advance (uncorrected pre-release PDF) copy of The Explorer’s Guide for Torment: Tides of Numenera, I could hardly pass that up either. So when some of the creators (now dubbed inXile) of that classic joined forces with then-new tabletop RPG Numenera to create a spiritual sequel in the form of Torment: Tides of Numenera, it was a pretty easy decision for me to back that on Kickstarter. Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite video games ever.
