Numenera Salvaging & Crafting: Iotum Decyphered

The salvaging and crafting mechanics in Numenera Destiny start with the building blocks of the Numenera: the Iotum--a material that offers far more to a game than a set of new mechanics. This video offers a way to think of the Iotum as a primer to using salvaging and crafting mechanics, or simply as an expansion of the ninth world as a game setting.
