Iadace, backers!

We have an exciting, info-packed update for you! 

We've had some fantastic team discussions about what we want Numenera to look and play like. They're incredibly fun conversations because Numenera was, of course, our very first game! So we've had more than a decade to play it ourselves, grow our game design skills, and listen to player input.
 
As of this week, Sean and Shanna are finishing up their current big projects—Invisible Sun's Electric Sun and Predation for Cypher respectively—and are turning their attention toward the upcoming Numenera goodies.  Sean is jumping into the work of Numenera design, starting with new types. (You can see an early preview of them if you play the updated Shadewalker adventure at conventions this summer!) And Shanna is toying around with the solo game and is going to run the first team playtest for next month. Check back in future updates to hear how it goes!
 
We’d like to answer a great question we saw in the Comments section: Will this edition also encompass rules for settlements à la Destiny/prior editions of Numenera?
 
It's really early in the design process, so we haven’t had an in-depth conversation about the community rules in the new book, but it is likely that anything relating to that will interface with the Resource Points rules in the new version of Cypher.
 
We'll have lots more news and art to share going forward, as we dig deeper into the design process. Stay tuned! If you have a burning question to ask, feel free to drop it in the comments—and be sure to check future updates to see if it’s been answered!

As of last week, all three Numenera Libraries—the Adventure Collection, Sourcebook Collection, and Ninth World Collection—have been fulfilled to backers. That’s thousands of pages of content waiting for you!

If you backed at the THREE BOOKS level, expect to see the Adventure Collection waiting for you. If you backed AMAZING CAMPAIGNS, you’ll see the Adventure Collection and the Sourcebook Collection in your MCG Account. If you went ALL-IN, you’ve received all three collections—over 4,500 pages!

If you haven’t completed your pledge manager survey, please do so as soon as possible! 

It’ll be a minute before we start shipping the new rewards we’re currently designing and producing—including Numenera, Beasts of the Amber Archive, The Catechism of Lore, Iadace, You Beast!, and all the other great things you’ve unlocked—but we’ll post regular updates to keep you in the loop. 

Please pay attention when you get communications from us. Our emails and updates include critical information about your rewards. We pinky promise not to spam you with unnecessary messaging. 

Every time a reward is ready for you, we’ll contact you by email to begin the fulfillment process. Generally, we’ll direct you to the MCG Shop, where you’ll log in, “buy” the product (for free, because you’ve already paid for it through this campaign), and check out.

This is an important part of the process because it ensures we have accurate delivery information for every item we send out. (With thousands of backers getting rewards, it's amazing how many people will change their address over the fulfillment period.) You'll pay for shipping at that time.

Please pay attention to communications from us—don't let our updates or emails go to your spam folder, or otherwise ignore them, because if you do you could miss out on some of your rewards.

Running a crowdfunding campaign is hard work, so the marketing crew took a bit of a rest after the two full days of Numenera overtime (though, if you backed Jewel in the Sky, you know we were still working hard)! 

In the following months, you should expect to hear from us every few weeks with an update detailing where we are on the design, production, and fulfillment process for each product, as well as anything Numenera-related our team is up to! 

Thanks for your support!
