The Hideous Game

In the vast city of Qi, where technological wonders are the rule rather than the exception, a game begins. The slidikin have slipped once more from the shadows to play their elaborate game of blood, teeth, and knives. Can you discover the secrets of the past in time to save lives in the present? With this Instant Adventure, you can skip the prep and get right to playing. The innovative Instant Adventure format makes prepping for an RPG no more difficult or time consuming than setting up a board game, while showcasing the wonder, mystery, and awe of the Ninth World. This isn’t an adventure seed or sketchy idea—it’s a complete adventure in a new format that requires minimal prep. Run it as a one-shot, or drop it into your ongoing campaign when you don’t have time to prep your own adventures! This 22-page adventure was run in official GenCon 2015 Numenera events. It includes six pre-generated characters, so you have everything you need to play!
