Numenera Framework | v1.02 | Updated: 26.02.2020

Post by mozzribo »

Hi, everyone.

A good while ago I was working on this framework, initially building on suntzu777's Numenera & The Strange Framework:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25292&hilit=numenera

The above had some minor bugs, and I'm honestly not sure how much of any of it remains in my version, but I don't think I'd have even begun with building anything without suntzu777's ideas.

Now, I was coding this for a group that was to play online. However, this plan never came to fruition. In effect, my work on this also halted and so far, I haven't finished what I have envisioned.

Yet, I don't want it to just sit around my computer without a better fate. So, I will release it here; perhaps people will find some use to it.

For now, I include a player character that has a load of options and an NPC that should have all that is necessary to handle it. There are a few Campaign options as well. I established the Campaign Properties and MapTool Properties. Everything should work, but no live testing has been done to verify this.

I want to finish it in the future, but I don't expect that to happen anytime soon. One day, I will also include detailed documentation. Most of the macros should be intuitive enough, yet I wouldn't be surprised if You'd need some exploration to figure everything out.

Ultimately, I would like to add more extensive Campaign options, include resources from all official (and perhaps unofficial) resources, which also covers token and portrait images, add random generators for the GM, and polish what's in there already. Adding every cypher, artefact, character option, etc. consumes a lot of time. Adding tokens less so, thus I will leave the content addition for the very end. I have no idea when I will come around to do all of this, probably years. Do expect occasional updates in this thread.

If You would like to try this Numenera Framework, please mind that You need to increase the Java stack size to 7 in the launcher for some weighty macros not to cause a crash, such as the Character Editor.
