I’m sure I missed a few things. Let me know what I should add in the comments and I’ll edit the post.
Great! I’d recommend adding the GM Intrusions podcast to the list!
Strange, I thought I’d got that one.
It looks like you may want to add http:// to the start of any URLs missing it as they are currently redirecting to a page on this site (numenera.com, montecookgames.com and the entirely legitimate myspace.com/numenera links being the ones with problems).
Maybe it’d also be good to link the original Kickstarter page too (and the ones for Torment + the poster maps?), here’s the links if you decide to add it/them:
Numenéra: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1433901524/numenera-a-new-roleplaying-game-from-monte-cook
Numenéra: Poster Maps of the Ninth World: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mapmaker/numenera-poster-maps-of-the-ninth-world
Torment: Tides of Numenéra: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera
There is also the character creator for iOS and Android which can be found here: http://3lbgames.com/games/numenera-character-creator/
A direct link to Torment Guru instead of the Twitter feed would not go amiss: http://www.tormentguru.com/
And as Darcy suggested, here is the link to the GM Intrusions podcast: http://lexstarwalker.com/gmintrusions/
As a whole a very nice comprehensive list that I’m sure will be very helpful!
Thanks!
The ninthworldhub appears to be down. Looks like it’s been replaced by a Malay or Indonesian website.
It’s moved to a new location at http://hub.cyphercast.net/. I’ll update the link in the article.
