This is one of my favorite pieces of artwork from Numenera created by Bruce Brenneise, one that lit my imagination for what sort of world was left behind by those prior civilizations.

You don’t need to be a gamer to get swept up in this amazing world building! Starting as a one-narrator story in season one it soon develops into a full on audio drama with so many fascinating characters and places!
When I first started listening to this podcast, I had hardly any idea what I was getting into. David S. Dear has written out an amazing story to introduce us to every corner and aspect of the RPG Numenera, a game I had never heard of, and leaves me wanting for of the world's exploration and the growth of the main character Januae while he struggles to control his teleporting ability and fate.
A rich, full and complex world, brought to life by David and the cast’s performances, scoring and sound effects. This feels lovingly and painstakingly produced, and a great listen for fans of big sprawling sci-fi and fantasy.
I had never heard of the Numernara game previous to listening to this show. But the way that David has built the show within the 9th World is amazing. It quickly became one of my favorite shows and is one that I look forward to new episodes dropping.
This is the first time I have chosen to listen to this particular type of podcast, based on a tabletop role playing game and I am so glad I did. I have particularly liked the fact I have been able to binge listen to it, as it has given me the opportunity to engage with the character of Januae who teleports to dangerous and strange places and the people/worlds he encounters. David S. Dear’s narrative brings the story and journey of Januae to life and now I have finally caught up to the present se... more
I've loved A Ninth World Journal since the first listen. Let it draw you in, and don't worry if you don't know the game -- you don't need to. This is storytelling at its finest, with a cast and story that are just amazing.
I had never encountered Numenera before hearing this podcast, but that didn't make it any less exciting and fantastic! Now I'm hoping to play Numenera with my friends some day.
The main character is nuanced and compelling. The story is constantly shifting and keeping you on your toes. The narration is excellent. I love the narrator's voice!

This is a premier audio fiction podcast. The concept is well done, the execution is top-notch, and it gets better and better, season by season. It's great to hear a show capitalize on its successes and fix its issues as it continues along.
I have no negatives listening to this show, it truly is a fantastic listening experience and one you must add to your queue!
Super fun, always wanting more!
Amazingly well written, excellent voices and sound scaping. If there where books written like this, I would binge read them!!
So good! Across the board. David Dear is fantastic as the capable and strong Januae, a man trying to cope with the unpredictable nature of his ever changing world.
Quantum Leap meets Numenara, with a splash of Doctor Who. This is a great audio drama that makes excellent use is the setting from Numenara. Even if you haven't played the RPG (I haven't!), you will absolutely enjoy this.
