Overall themes of the stories selected were dark and well written. Excellent pick up!

An excellent addition to any gaming library! The Cypher system is both unique and easy to use with brand new players. It puts the story in the hands of the players, rather than have them fear the GM. This turn of the table also lets the GM concentrate on telling the story, which heightens the players experience. First rate product in pdf and hardcover.

I found this book to be fascinating. Walters crafted a superior product using both an informative and easy-going writing style. This is a piece which is accessible to both novices players as well as more experienced Ninth World game masters alike. The piece goes into great detail how both naval encounters can come about, their importance in a given campaign, and all the equipment surrounding them. A listing of GM intrusions, Descriptors, and Foci are contained here as well. Though this may sound like a lot of ground to cover, the book doesn't bog the reader down with too much detail or technical information, giving the relevant information which the GM needs to help explain how to incorporate them into gameplay. A concise and highly recommended book for maritime Numenera !
