Review: Edge of the Sun

This is it, folks.  This is the one I have been waiting for from this Kickstarter.  And even before I give you the rest of the review, I’ll give you a hint.  It does not disappoint.  Bruce Cordell brings all the sciency weird goodness of Numenera to the table in his new book, Edge of … Continue reading Review: Edge of the Sun
