  • Incredible Numenera Actual Play

    About 10 days ago as of writing this review Monte Cook Games launched Numenera: The Amber Archive.
I wanted an Actual Play to learn about Numenera and about Cypher.

    I found a great story in the fantastic world of Numenera.

    A story lead by the incredible GM that Daniel is, great players around the table, really good chemistry between all of them.

    I am completely hooked on Explorers Wanted, addicted in fact.

    Do you want a great introduction to Numenera or just a great game in Numenera then you sho... more

  • A Billion Years of Shenanigans

    I discovered Explorers Wanted when I went in search of a different game’s actual play (a Fairy Tale RPG by the creators of Numenera), that this crew did as a one-shot. I stayed for their chill vibes and belly-laugh-inducing chaotic choices.

    The main campaigns (of which there may be 3?) set in the weird Sci-Fantasy world of Numenera are grand feasts, but the episodes are bite-sized, always leaving you hungry for the next.

    I started actively listening to Explorers first campaign less than 3 mon... more

Look forward to hearing the newer stuff to see how they have developed. I’m am very impressed with the great group of gamers and have thoroughly enjoyed every episode. The GM does a great job involving every player and progressing their story and the role play between the group is very enjoyable. I absolutely love Numenera as a game system an... more

  • Fantastic RP in a Fantastic System

    This is the only long-running actual play podcast set in Numenera (and one of the few in the Cypher system) I’ve found that I enjoy. The RP is *fantastic*—except when they attempt to portray children and their parents, an interaction that comes across as very stilted. The characters are compelling, and the adventure and storyline are engrossing. Thank you, Explorers Wanted, for creating an awesome Numenera audio experience!

    (As an aside, Stace Babcock’s “The Stars are Fire” two-shot is most exc... more
