The "great filter" not being an extinction event, but a tech/civilization reset is such a fun concept. It's why I gravitated to tabletop Numenera so much. Theres so many things you can do with that setting.

I love the setting too, but all of my attempts to actually start campaigns in Numenera have failed because you really need a group which is interested and dedicated to the very unique nature of the system itself (combat doesn't net XP) and Numenera itself, and that can be a hard task.
Most of the tabletop people start and end with Dungeons and Dragons or some similar Tolkineseque fantasy system (i.e. Pathfinder), and Numenera is just too...weird.

There's basically a huge setting learning curve as pretty much everything is quite unique both in names, appereances and abitlities.

Show a dragon to any tabletop player, regardless of the system or a setting, and they will have a rough idea of what that creature does.
Show any random Numenera monster and pretty much everyone is confused. Of course, it's the DMs job to help people approach this, but it doesn't always work, especially when you lack a good reference point.
 
Yeah, I've only ever played it with family due to it's uniqueness. Kinda helps when you're related to d&d/warhammer nerds who'll stick through it.

There was at least one ancient, highly advanced civilization which had spread all over the world, traces of which can be found in megalithic structures, but this civilization disappeared due to a catastrophic event around 12000 B.C., the same period a shitload of animals went extinct.

6600 years ago the Mad Scientist Yakub from the ancient city of Mecca created a blight upon the world called WHITE PEOPLE on the island of Patmos as means of Revenge against all the people who made fun of his large head. Using his two brains, he engineered a selective breeding program to remove the melanin from the black race making his abominations WHITE, while also functionally retarded they had access to Tricknology that they used to destroy and plunder all the ancient Black Civilizations.
 
Saint Yakub? Egads a White Devil! Begone foul cave dweller.

I thought he was a negro.

It's okay, I can write that, I identify as a black genderqueer sapiosexual furry.

might be a good time to leave the internet and go to the real world. There's fascists there, I'm afraid. If someone is a fascist, I'll call them that. And hope that they get fucked.

the irony is crazy. "i wish violence and misery upon my political enemies" sounds fascist to me. its a meaningless insult at this point because its rarely accurate and usually said by people or are at best as bad as whatever counts as fascism at this point

Found out my hands and my fingers aren't really small. But i still prefer a short scale bass. Feels better and easier on my back.
 
What position are you playing in? Maybe it's hanging too low?

I've never had back issues. Occassional wrist pain though...
