Episode 131: Review: Numenera & 13th Age Part 1

Posted on November 30, 2013 by Idle Red Hands
2

In this two-part episode, we review Numenera and 13th Age. This episode focuses on Kickstarter sensation Numenera. Should you buy it?

It should be noted that these reviews are based on reading the books, not playing the games. After these reviews, we’ve decided to make one our next game. It should be clear which one after listening to both parts.
