Game[edit]
Setting[edit]
The Strange is set in modern-day Earth but allows a GM to take their stories through many different 'recursions', worlds based frequently on literary creations.
Character Creation[edit]
Character creation has been simplified by having players fill in the blanks to the statement:
- 'I am a __________ __________ who _________s.'
- The first blank, the adjective in the sentence, is filled in by a character's 'Descriptor', a way to describe the character's strongest characteristic.
- The second blank, the noun of the sentence, is filled in by a character's 'Type', which is either a 'Vector', a 'Paradox', or a 'Spinner'.
- The third blank, the verb of the sentence, is filled in by a character's 'Focus', or what the character is most known for or their special talent.

Game Mechanics[edit]
The Strange uses the Cypher System, developed for Numenera and is played primarily using a d20, but is used to determine if the player has beaten the difficulty of the task. The GM sets the initial difficulty and will relay that to the player prior to the roll to help them determine their course of action. A player uses their training and/or may apply 'effort' to lower the level of difficulty prior to the roll, rather than heavily augmenting the result of the roll to beat a target.
