ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Deep in the fetid Jungle’s embrace, Outpost 32 once stood proud. The stores of this sprawling keystone of trade and exploitation once burst with treasures ‘appropriated’ from surrounding squat, vine-clad temples of eternal rest. Yet for weeks naught but corpses and silence have floated down in the murky river’s care. Charged by the South Traders’ Consortium with the Holy Mission of ‘property recovery,’ you are sent forth. You are accompanied, watched, stalked by a Band of their brutes; all bound together with the promise of commission split equal ways. Now you set out, off and up into the dark.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
The stars gutter and the skies fade and the earth grows weary with years. Ages of men and of Outsiders have ascended and been forgotten, and only the bones of their cities and the dust of their dreams remain upon this tired world. The Legacy of their laws is woven deep now, the edicts of dead gods and fallen sorcerer-kings made to trace patterns of power we no longer understand. We are heirs to their unseen empires, and our lives are built upon their ashes.

Worlds Without Number is a fantasy role-playing game, one fully compatible with the hit sci-fi game Stars Without Number. It's built from the ground up to provide gritty, hard-edged adventure in the fathomless future of the Latter Earth, a fantastic realm of time-lost sorcery, savage foes, and barbaric splendor. The cold steel in the fists of your heroes and the half-understood sorcery in their tomes must suffice to overcome the monstrous remnants of ancient alien rulers and the present depredations of ruthless lords and hideous beasts alike. The riches of lost ages await in the subterranean Deeps that once held their kingdoms, and even the heavens above are not beyond the reach of the recklessly daring.
