The Strange Kickstarter (Pen-and-paper RPG)

[StaggerLee]

Hey everyone. There is a kickstarter campaign entering its final hours for a new pen-and-paper RPG by the legendary Buce Cordell and legendarier ("whistling Monte Cook. The game is based on Monte Cook's "Cypher" system (the system conceived for Numenera, the game setting that is being used for the new Torment game), and I can say from first-hand experience that the system is excellent. I recommend the game to anyone that likes their rule-sets in pen-and-paper RPGs to be a little less regimented i.e. not like DND 3.5.

A quote from the Kickstarter site:

Monte Cook Games is thrilled to announce its next big tabletop roleplaying game: The Strange! Written and designed by Bruce Cordell and Monte Cook, The Strange is a game that crosses multiple worlds, called recursions, which player characters can explore and defend. In The Strange, your characters change with each world they travel to, taking on new aspects suited to help them function in that recursion's unique laws and structures. But dangers found in these recursions threaten not only characters, but also our very own Earth. If characters persevere, however, they can not only save themselves and Earth, they may even gain the ability to create a recursion of their own!

If you enjoyed the inspiring scope of games like Planescape, Gamma World, or Numenera, or mind-bending scenarios like Moorcock's Eternal Champion series, the TV show Fringe, or movies like the Matrix, you're going to love The Strange.

Support it if any of this sounds interesting to you:
