    I love the Numenara RPG concept - haven’t had a chance to play it, but I’ve workshopped ideas with a friend who likes to write stuff in it. I’ll put that book on my radar, another lemming got me going on Glen Cook’s Black Company series currently.

      It’s actually a collection of four books, which I think these days are sold in sets of two.

      It’s got some fun stuff, like an author who’s convinced of his own infallibility, and fantasy-like vocabulary, except none of the words are really made up, it’s just applications of somewhat obscure latin and greek words. I’d also kind of encourage going into it blind, since there are some bits of it that are more fun to figure out as you go along.

      Bonus for /c/finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world players: it has Ascians.
