A bonfire in the middle of a large clearing burns brightly, stoked high into the night. The woods around it seem to draw inwards, as if protecting the ceremony happening in the light of the flames. Hooded figures surround it, their arms lifted in reverence. You pray they have not noticed you...

Terrify your most battle-hardened players. The Darkest Woods is like nothing you've run before.

The horrors of the Woods draw upon your characters' memories and fears; play with their notions of morality, family, friendship, love, and truth... Preorder today!

MONTE COOK GAMES DESIGNER SHANNA GERMAIN ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT NUMENERA AND THE AMBER ARCHIVE YouTube video by Cypher Unlimited

With the new Numenera Backerkit with about a week left, we had the pleasure of speaking with Monte Cook Games designer Shanna Germain about the project!

youtu.be/1QpHN4k1qtk?...

An explorer clad in science-fantasy attire descends from a glowing blue rope into an extensive cavern that appears to be the ruins of a long-lost civilization. Her braids fly in the wind behind her, her left leg, a prosthetic with moving techno-magical parts, braces against the wall she's climbing down. Beneath her, a giant alligator-like creature with glowing pink spines swims in the shallow water pooled on the cave floor.

Three adventurers clad in robes stand before a creature of tentacles. Its giant mouth is yawned open, wide, teeth barred, ready to swallow the humanoid who stands before it. The scene is bathed in purple and orange light, with glowing blue emanating from the creature's mouth and one of the adventurer's weapons.

#thedarkwestwoods you heard it here first, folks

side by side versions of The Darkest Woods. On the left is the regular edition, with a creepy woods background, and in the foreground is a weird dead tree that looks like clutching hands and part of a giant skull, with a blue night sky and a crescent moon. On the right is the expanded edition, similar color except the night sky and highlights are red instead of blue.

Print versions of #TheDarkwestWoods have arrived for team MCG! That means we should be fulfilling to backers pretty soon!
(The right-side book is still in shrinkwrap because it has a bundle of bookmarks in the back, that's why there's a weird white highlight along the top of the front cover.)
