THERE IS WISDOM IN THE SKY


The Ninth World holds many wondrous and terrible things from earth’s past. Perhaps the most familiar to us in the 21st century is the Datasphere, an extrapolation of our internet, cast a billion years into the future. Once a galaxy spanning network responsible for the dataflow of countless empires, the Datasphere of the Ninth World is a broken monument to the hubris of the past. Filled with creatures of math and rules and hate, the bloated software that helped to make a perfect past now serves only to maintain chaos and misery.

Celestial Wisdom is an exploration of the Datasphere for Numenera that includes:

  • A pantheon of digital gods - uploaded minds, artificial intelligences, alien virii, and more.
  • New powers for every Tier, new Descriptors, and new Foci.
  • 50 Cyphers, 18 Artifacts, and 100 new Oddities.
  • Story seeds for intefacing these Datasphere abilities and items with your Numenera game.

Celestial Wisdom includes Lovecraft-inspired Old Gods and a lovecraftian focus: Knows Too Much.  It goes great with In Strange Aeons, MCG's new supplement for Numenera!

http://originsofadarkgod.wordpress.com/2014/05/01/celestial-wisdom-review/  "I really enjoyed Celestial Wisdom.  As I stated before, it is a great mash up between cyberpunk and fantasy couched within the terminology of the Ninth World."

And here:
http://theninthworld.com/review-celestial-wisdom-ryan-chaddock/ 
"Expounding on the Datasphere’s nature, Celestial Wisdom offers a GM another way for player characters to interact with the wonders of the Ninth World from the perspective of modern information technology through the lens of traditional fantasy." 

And here:

"A flavour focussed expansion on the Ninth World setting of Numenera, placing the future evolutions of the Internet in centre stage.  The supplement provides a whole set of character and numenera options themed to the datasphere, and filled with all sorts of potential. A great idea – and leaves me looking forwards to many future installments."

"Ryan Chaddock has done a really nice job with the first release for Numenera from an independent publisher.  Celestial Wisdom provides a great amount of subject matter for Numenera at a price point that is more than affordable. "

You say Pipeworld has been updated, but when I click on the DTRPG link, it goes nowhere.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
