The Monte Cook’s Kickstarter project is still going strong, and now he has published a Numenera based short fiction story The Amber Monolith – as promised. It finely conveys the feeling of lost knowledge, gives hints of the Ninth world environment, and the current state of the civilization. And it makes more questions than answers any – you ought to read it by yourself.

It feels somewhat odd, that I am one of those who have made possible his creativity to bloom, by a financing pledge. Couple of days ago I raised it to Patron level (70$+10$ for shipping). The story itself is not long as an investment, but is a very promising start for this franchise.
