There is a truly massive Numenera Humble Bundle going on right now that will get you almost the entire line of sci-fi RPG books for a song.

Numenera was the very first game in Monte Cook’s Cypher System. With its vision of a world more than a billion years in the future, after eight other advanced civilization rose and fell or vanished or ascended or otherwise left the Earth behind, Numenera carved out a swath of Moebius-esque sci-fi/fantasy territory. All the while, laying the groundwork for more RPGs that made use of the “cypher-based” gameplay. Games like The Strange and Neon Rain make use of the rules, which run on a mix of expendable items and ways of describing your characters.

It might take a little getting used to, but it’s well worth a shot. Especially since, right now, you can snag basically the entire collected works of Numenera for less than the price of one standard ttrpg core rulebook. As part of the Numenera Humble Bundle, you can get 45 titles for $25. Which is an absolute steal—and it’s a steal that does some good in the world by benefitting charity too.

The Numenera Humble Bundle – Benefitting The ACLU

It’s pretty straightforward. Pick up this bundle—as long as you pay at least $25 when doing so, you unlock all 45 titles in the bundle, including several adventures, sourcebooks that serve as rules and guidance for the GM to help reshape the story. There’s great advice on running the Cypher System to be had. And all this on top of books showcasing the setting in its many splendored, nigh-unrecognizable wonders.

All that to say, there’s something for basically everyone here. If you are into Numenera, this is a great way to round out your collection, even if you already have some of the books here. But it’s also a great way to get started, because it is hard to beat that price on so complete a collection of books for any RPG system.

And you get to know that you are helping the ACLU while you’re at it. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) is dedicated to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country. Which is never a bad thing to support:

“Explore the Ninth World with your companions in this engrossing futuristic TTRPG. Unlock the ultimate tabletop role-playing bundle for epic adventures in the world of Numenera. This massive collection from Monte Cook Games includes new rulebooks, maps, campaigns, and more—adding unrivaled value and depth to your existing library. Get everything you need to embark on an unforgettable journey, and help support the ACLU!”

Numenera has also been around since 2014, weirdly enough!
