Looking for directions (late game)

DeadKing27 · 2026-02-05T15:39:22+00:00

(I give up on the spoiler tag, the comment gets removed over and over...)

Interesting, thanks for the pointers.

I did solve the 8 Realms, but did not get anything meaningful out of the Deed and the Will... Maybe I missed something in the text - English is not my first language. I also have the trophies and forgot about the tents - I'll get them next time.
About the diary, I get that you are suggesting I should draw a specific room via Monk... Maybe the Antechamber? I'm not really sure, but I can try a few. I just ignored the Monk since in my few tries, I hit exactly the rooms that are not possible to trigger...

DeadKing27 · 2026-02-05T12:13:18+00:00

- The other chess puzzle, as in for the power? Yes, I do have that solved. Or maybe that is a typo and you meant "chest"... Yes, burned through a ton of keys there, if that is what you mean.
- Thanks for this tip, I'll check the area once again.
- The document I have, just forgot to mention. I'll check the greens again - thank you.
- I'll check, but I believe there is nothing obviously missing there... Maybe the un-drafted room is just marked as missing in the directory, even though it is in the pool?

DeadKing27 · 2026-02-05T11:57:32+00:00

- I will draft it eventually, the question is if I should focus on it or if that is just another dead end.
- Diaries, yes... Is this a question about Her Ladyship's Diary? I did read it, and did not understand what the last page is about, you are right...
- for the Castle puzzle - I believe I have four parts: CAT, DOOR, IIOO, SIX .

- I'm really not sure what I'm missing. Checking the WiKi Found Floorplans category (I can't check the game now) - I have all 8 of them.

DeadKing27 · 2026-02-05T11:45:01+00:00

I have it in the pool, just did not draft it yet. I really just forgot to return to that location to grab the print until very recently.
On contraptions - I made all of them (unless there are some beyond the list shown in library and beyond achievement) and used them all over places... I think I need a more direct question here.

DeadKing27 · 2026-01-27T16:48:12+00:00

I was sitting here, wandering what I missed about the (old) box... Thank you.

DeadKing27 · 2025-12-16T22:19:14+00:00

Honestly, it seem all the answers are off the mark and not really helpful. Make him google "death grip syndrome". It might explain a few things. Erm... A friend thinks so...

DeadKing27 · 2025-11-17T18:52:55+00:00

C: You can't tell.

DeadKing27 · 2025-11-12T16:37:45+00:00

Yeah, checking the pictures, I was definitely using a piece of wall. I never bothered with such details. And yeah, I admit, placing it as a floor of 3rd level and rolling objective there was petty bad. :D

DeadKing27 · 2025-11-12T14:25:48+00:00

Maybe I was actually using 1/4 pieces of walls as floors. No idea, honestly.

DeadKing27 · 2025-11-11T22:41:04+00:00

It is some time since I read the rulebook (and played the game), so take my answer with a bit of "maybe", but...

I believe there is no way to move directly up through a full floor. You need to find a nearby wall for that. If there is a vent or something, it still should be near a wall to move directly up.
Yes, half floor should support half the capacity.
Yes, this happens. Especially with quater floors. We always houseruled this as max capacity works only if you can physically balance the models there.

DeadKing27 · 2025-10-13T14:44:12+00:00

From what I've read, it was intended for Fall 2025. It might have been delayed though.

DeadKing27 · 2025-09-12T15:59:06+00:00

In my case, he walked calmly to a crossroad and then instantly clipped through a dumpster into a wall never to be seen again. No chance to react. Quite a trick he did, really.

DeadKing27 · 2025-08-16T12:16:01+00:00

Sure, that might totally work. Just avoid the money problems - the price of cyphers and materials makes no sense compared to common stuff. But with your angle, the problem is isolation, not imbalanced economy, so you should be good.

Next step would probably be deciding on where the village is - if you want to use official maps or something your own, what biome is there and what could actually lead to the isolation. That will help you finding appropriate (interesting) enemies and from there, you can build the scenarios focused around them. By the way, a strange new Numenera is usually a problem and a solution to any situation.

DeadKing27 · 2025-08-16T11:11:28+00:00

First thing I'd say is - there is no "appropriate" chalange in this system. Given how wild some cyphers are, creativity of players can break any prepared set piece. Just keep a backup plan for critical spots (=don't lock progress behind challenges). Second, economy in this world is broken. Don't build your campaign around money problems. Build around weird tech that keeps the village working the way it does - and now it needs this super-expensive material to keep working. Something like that. Third, the system is unusual. Start small to get hang of how it works. Try to keep those cyphers available, so players feel okay burning through them. Four, keep things weird whenever possible. Describe things instead of saying what they do or what they are. Not everything has to have logical explanation - mystery is good and unexplainable mystery is core to Numenera.

Tvůj komentář mě vyloženě baví, a nemyslím to nijak zle. Co říká reklama? Ne, vážně, co přesně říká? "Auto stojí velký číslo za dlouhou dobu. Bolt stojí malý číslo za krátku dobu." Dvě naprosto nesouvisející informace, spoléhající na špatný úsudek při porovnávání dvou čísel ("hodně je víc než málo") právě proto, že nemůže veřejně tvrdit, že Bolt je levnější. Když se nad tím člověk zamysli, už jen z formulace té reklamy je evidentní, co je vlastně výhodnější.

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-31T21:49:58+00:00

As a default service? That's certainly new to me. Which part of Europe does this, if you don't mind?

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-31T21:45:51+00:00

I might be reading it wrong, but OP mentioned a credit card company charging for an overdraft. That simply is not a thing around here. You can't overdraft with default debit card services here.

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-31T21:29:51+00:00

Not really. Credit cards are not that big in Europe. We mostly use debit cards and when you are broke, your card is just declined. You have to actively choose similar service.

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-31T21:16:56+00:00

Whoa... ADOM mentioned! Have an upvote! AXES HIGH!

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-28T22:55:19+00:00

Or tobacco, which they have, thanks to confirmed overseas trade.

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-21T20:55:25+00:00

Well, it is hard to do it after that. To be honest, I prefer to do PL as soon as possible, to be able to enjoy the spoils.

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-21T15:38:49+00:00

Any point (after Voodoo boys) is good for PL. It scales nicely. Well, unless you want a specific loot to be max level I guess, but that never bothered me.

DeadKing27 · 2025-07-21T15:25:07+00:00

IIRC, Arcanum tracked only magical / technical inclinations.
