The Hideous Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Download this adventure, and you could be playing in five minutes!

In the vast city of Qi, where technological wonders are the rule rather than the exception, a game begins. The slidikin have slipped once more from the shadows to play their elaborate game of blood, teeth, and knives. Can you discover the secrets of the past in time to save lives in the present?

With this Instant Adventure, you can skip the prep and get right to playing. The innovative Instant Adventure format makes prepping for an RPG no more difficult or time consuming than setting up a board game, while showcasing the wonder, mystery, and awe of the Ninth World. This isn’t an adventure seed or sketchy idea—it’s a complete adventure in a new format that requires minimal prep. Run it as a one-shot, or drop it into your ongoing campaign when you don’t have time to prep your own adventures!

This 22-page adventure was run in official GenCon 2015 Numenera events. It includes six pre-generated characters, so you have everything you need to play!

Note: The total page count of 22 pages includes the 10-page adventure, plus 6 pre-generated characters.

Just ran it with my group (mixed in with other adventures as always). It was pretty good. If you want to read how it went the game journal is: https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5682986/the-hideous-game

Do you think this supplement will work ok with a group of 3 new-ish players using their own Tier 1 characters? Or is it designed for a larger group of the pre-gens in mind?

I really like the flow chart format of the adventure. I am excited to see how it works in play. By just looking at it it should run really smooth. I would like to see a longer adventure done in this format. Keep up the amazing work. You have made some amazing products, and some great stories, thank you.

Why do you guys keep uploading products for the Cypher System and not tagging them as Cypher System under Rule System?

Are the pre-generated characters variations on those previously provided with Numenera adventure - i.e. a higher Tier of those existing pre-gens, the same pre-gens, or something brand new?

The pre-generated characters are the exact same ones that were included in "Weird Discoveries - 10 Instant Adventures for Numenera".

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
