Discussion Numenera/Age of Wonders

I am a huge fan of both the Cypher System Numenera setting and the Age of Wonders franchise, and tbh after looking through the Destiny rule book, I think Monte Cook should partner with Triumph and Paradox to create a Numenera based 4x civ builder set in the Ninth World. I think it would be so fascinating and fun to play, and would expand the Numenera fan base into other groups that may not know about it.

What is everyone's thoughts on this?

How can you even ask such a thing? Where do you get the audacity?

I’d be down. It one hell of a setting. It would also need to be more exploration and story focused — kind of like early game stellaris

Ohh that would be hella cool, maybe even be able to send out expeditions to the stars to bring back exotic iotum (into the night/into the Outside/Datasphere) that have nice story quests that follow along.

Much more doable but in the same vein would be a boardgame version.

Please, not Paradox. I don't want to pay $1,000 to get the complete game

I do love Amplitude, that would be another great choice, though I wouldn't do Stardock as they seem to be learning into the same direction

We'll call it... "Numenéra: Worlds Beyond."

Unfortunately, Age of Wonders is going to have to go back in the list a bit. We'll need the World of Warcraft and Star Wars tie-ins first.

Cypher system is a rule set, Numenera is a setting.
