Feature: Is it going to live up to Planescape?
Turns out you can't play Torment: Tides of Numenera [official site] with your eyes closed. So much for my big plan to try and avoid spoilers. It's simultaneously one of the RPGs I've been looking forward to the most, and the one I've deliberately learned the least about. Planescape Torment fans should need no explanation as to why, but though I apparently have no self-control,…
Feature:
The Numenera pen-and-paper roleplaying system does a lot of interesting things to simplify stats, combat, and to offer players more choice in action and outcome. I am extremely interested to see how those systems translate to Torment: Tides of Numenera [official site], which is using the setting and system as a basis for a spiritual successor to the beloved Planescape: Torment. The first chance to…

Instead my interest comes from the other end of its name, since I've been playing Numenera, the Monte Cook pen-and-paper RPG that gives this new game its setting and some of its…
Last month, inXile's Brian Fargo spilled several important beans about post-Black Isle, post-Planescape plans for a sequel to the legendary RPG Torment, in a brand new and rather tasty-sounding roleplaying setting from ex-Wizards of the Coast man Monte Cook. While there still isn't too much firm'n'fixed to go on, the game's gone live with its very own website and the first reveal of its new,…
Feature: What can change the nature of a sequel?
Rumours have been swirling for years about a possible sequel to Black Isle's legendary and powerful roleplaying game Planescape: Torment, but the closure of the original studio and the jealous guarding of the Planescape rights by owners Wizards of the Coast seemed to have put paid to any comeback. But with original Interplay boss Brian Fargo very much back in the RPG business with current…
