that the beta of Wasteland 2 is now available to backers of their RPG
sequel. He points the way to
the Kickstarter update on the topic which helpfully warns: "PLEASE DO READ
THIS UPDATE BEFORE YOU START TESTING." The update notes that no restrictions are
being made on sharing impressions of this, so expect previews and gameplay
videos to follow.

I hope you really like the combat in Wasteland 2, as it will be the combat mechanic for Torment:Numenera.
