Cypher Corebook Slipcase Set

$99

50 purchased

A slipcase containing the two core rulebooks: Cypher Character Rulebook and Cypher GM's Guide. We may make a slipcase set of these books in the future, but this is a deluxified edition we're making just for backers of this campaign, with upgraded features you won't find in the store-bought version (but at the same price). This set is priced the same as the two books individually, so if you're after both books, the slipcase is essentially free. This slipcase has room for a third book: the Cypher System Bestiary. It will fit either version—the existing Cypher System Bestiary, or the revised version we're making for this campaign. In addition to the slipcase and two books in print, you also get both books in PDF.

Cypher Bestiary

$49

549 purchased

An updated version of the existing Cypher System Bestiary. This title, detailing scores of fascinating creatures, is essentially the same as the current version, with minor modifications to stat blocks to more easily use these creatures with the new edition of Cypher. It also features beautiful new cover art that makes it a handsome match for the new corebooks. This special printing is for backers only—we don’t have any plans to make this version available through other channels. This is an updated reissue of the existing bestiary, with the same creatures, art, and text (except for stat block conversions)—not an entirely new book. In addition to the book in print, you also get this title in PDF.

Predation

$55

36 purchased

Welcome to the Cretaceous. Our ancestors won’t climb down from the trees for another 66 million years, but here we are now. Time travel seemed like a good idea. Exploring the ancient world. Building. Creating an entire society here in the jungles of our primordial Earth. Until those SATI guys messed it all up. We’ve got gear. We’ve got guns. We’ve even bioengineered a few dinos to our liking. And that’s good, because we’ll need it all to survive. History says there’s an asteroid headed our way, and there’s no one left alive who knows how to get back to the future… Sometime in the not-too-distant future, an organization called SATI develops time travel. The company uses it for a variety of projects, including exploration of the late Cretaceous period—when dinosaurs ruled the earth. SATI sent thousands of “commuters,” who often traveled back and forth through time, from home to work. They built permanent bases and towns to conduct their research, which spanned decades. Supplies and materials could be produced right there—in the Cretaceous—to avoid having to transport them temporally. At any give time there were thousands and thousands of people living in Grevakc, as the region that would become North America was known. And then the time-travel just stopped working. We're bringing back this fan-favorite setting of sci fi and dinosaurs in an all-new hardcover! In addition to the book in print, you also get this title in PDF.

The Strange

$55

122 purchased

In the dimness of a chaotic extra-dimensional zone known by a few as “the Strange” lie thousands of Earth’s “recursions”—pocket dimensions that spawn from human myth, legend, and fiction. Rarely larger than a continent, and sometimes no bigger than a few city blocks, these aren’t full-fledged parallel universes. Rather, they’re reflections of human imagination—one might be the halls of Valhalla; another the sands of ancient Egypt; yet another the foggy East End of Jack the Ripper’s London or even the plains of Rohan. If a realm has been imagined on Earth, there is probably a recursion somewhere in our world’s shoals that represents it. These mini-worlds have gone unnoticed for millennia, but in recent times, a rare few have discovered them—and how to reach them. Some do so for the sake of discovery. Some for plunder. A few for even more nefarious purposes. Regardless of these motives, the rare but increasing traffic between Earth and its recursions has inevitably allowed forces from these realms to discover ours. For while most beings in these recursions are simply facets of the fiction that creates them, a rare few have “the spark.” Awareness. An ability to recognize that their own realm is limited—but that a broader, fuller world exists. Some of these beings cast ambitious eyes on our Earth. And some are very, very dangerous. We're bringing back this fan-favorite dimension-hopping setting filled with intrigue, mystery, and planet-threatening danger in an all-new hardcover! In addition to the book in print, you also get this title in PDF.

Divination Deck

$25

165 purchased

A limitless font of GM inspiration and time-savings in deck format. The 50 cards of this Tarot-sized deck each feature a divinatory image that inspires all sorts of ideas on the fly. Draw the Raven? It's a bad omen in the game, but the accompanying booklet also ties it to a cypher, a manifest cypher, a GM intrusion idea, an NPC, a creature, an asset for a player, a trait for an NPC, an interesting event, and even the upcoming weather. Tarot-sized and packaged in a durable, attractive box, this deck can be used as an in-game prop, an aid for the GM, or both at once. It's an awesome source of inspiration and ideas while running or in prep—yet another way Cypher helps you make the most of your imagination! In addition to the deck in print, you also get this item in PDF.

Cypher GM Screen

$30

57 purchased

Cypher is built to keep the mechanics out of the GM’s way. The players roll all the dice (and Cypher’s narrative tools don’t rely on fudging results anyway), so there are no rolls to hide. Even so, sometimes it’s handy to have key game info at the GM’s fintertips, and to keep notes and secrets away from players’ prying eyes. Printed on heavy board stock, this screen features beautiful and inspiring artwork. Cypher’s vibe is collaborative—so the screen's landscape format isn’t so tall it isolates the GM from the players. And if you want the info but not the barrier, it’s made to lay flat on the game table, so the GM can reference it without anything between them and the players. In addition to the screen in print, you also get this item in PDF.

Cypher Character Portfolios (bundle of 5)

$23

15 purchased

A great campaign fosters great characters and great stories. A Cypher character is more than a collection of numbers—they’re the heart of a wondrous story, driven by compelling motives and interesting backstory. They have friends, adversaries, and character arcs. They go to cool places, face dangerous challenges, and commit amazing feats. Do you really want to cram all that onto a ratty laserprinted character sheet? The Cypher Character Portfolio does everything a standard character sheet, and more. At 24 pages, it records not just your character’s pools, abilities, skills, cyphers, and everything else you find on a regular character sheet. It also gives you room for notes, sketches, character arcs, and details about those abilities. Jot down thoughts about your character’s appearance and mannerisms. There’s plenty of room for details about connections to the other PCs in your party along with people, creatures, objects, and locations you meet in your adventures. You can keep a campaign journal, or make maps and sketches of places you’ve been. Printed in full color on heavy matte paper that takes pencil and eraser easily, the portfolio is perfectly sized to give you plenty of space within, but without taking up too much space on the gaming table. You also get two PDF versions, one optimized for printing and the other in a form-fillable format perfect for using on a tablet, phone, or laptop.

Cypher Deck

$20

49 purchased

A deck full of cyphers—single-use abilities with extraordinary effects. Because they are frequently encountered and quickly used, writing out a cypher and its effects on a character sheet (only to erase it half a session later) can be a bit of a drag. And pulling out the corebook to roll on a big random table can slow down the game. A deck of cyphers eases both problems—draw a card to generate the cypher randomly, then simply hand it to the player to be kept until used. In most genres, cyphers are intangible—blessings, inspiration, or simply a meta-game benefit for the player’s use. That's what this deck is full of. In addition to the deck in print, you also get this item in PDF.

Cypher XP Deck

$10

20 purchased

Characters in Cypher earn XP through exploration, risk, meeting adventure goals, and pursuing their own narrative arcs. They’re also the reward for GM intrusions—when the GM introduces a surprise twist to a scene or adventure. It’s common to receive and use experience points during play as well as saving them up for character advancement! Because they’re often gained and spent at the table, it’s handy to have a set of physical tokens to represent them. Cards work well—they’re easily handled and kept track of, and you can tuck them into your Cypher Character Rulebook or character portfolio between sessions. This 30-card deck will feature unique and compelling Cypher art on each card. In addition, we’ll include five reference cards, each with helpful info for the players. Cypher isn’t complicated, but a little reminder of how to apply Effort, use a player intrusion, shake off wounds, recover Pool points, spend resource points, and things like that can be a boon (especially those new to the game). If you’re playing Cypher for the first time (or teaching new players), these reference cards will be handy! In addition to the deck in print, you also get this item in PDF.

In recent years, we've designed stunning premium dice for specific Cypher-based games, such as the Old Gods of Appalachia and The Magnus Archives RPGs.

Breathe life into an infinite variety of NPCs—for any campaign! Whether you're fleshing out characters during game prep, or need a bit of inspiration when a game session goes in an unexpected direction, the 100-card NPC Deck helps you bring your NPCs to life with details of their appearance, personality, abilities, and possessions—even their names. Just draw a card—each card gives you a first and last name (as well as a fantasy name alternative); details of appearance, demeanor, and personality; modifications to the NPC’s level; and a distinguishing feature or item. The deck includes 100 distinctive ready-to-use NPCs for a vast variety of roles. Or create an infinite variety of NPCs by drawing several cards and mixing elements from the results. Either way, use them as described, or riff on the suggestions with your own ideas. You'll never be short of inspiration! NPCs in Cypher are so easy: just create a role to fill—shopkeeper, mobster, duke’s seneschal, street urchin, ship captain—and assign the NPC a level. With the NPC Deck, the details that bring the character to life are just as easy! And with almost no mechanical content, this deck is handy and inspirational no matter what game you're playing.

GM Intrusion Deck

$20

157 purchased

GM intrusions are part of what makes Cypher so fluid, fast-paced, and narrative-focused—and a real joy to GM! A good GM intrusion introduces an unexpected factor that spices up a scene, creates a turning point in an adventure, or throws a little wrench into the PCs’ best-laid plans. Sometimes GMs prepare them in advance, but often they occur spontaneously, where the GM sees a cool opportunity or a d20 roll results in that dreaded “1.” But coming up with just the right intrusion on the fly can sometimes challenge even the best GM’s creativity. At the table, or in prep, it helps to have a little inspiration! The GM Intrusion Deck gives you 300 intrusion ideas on 100 cards. Each card offers a combat intrusion, a social intrusion, and an intrusion for miscellaneous situations. Need an intrusion on the fly, or some inspiration when planning your game? Just draw a card. Or draw two or three, and pick the one you like—or just use them to inspire some other great idea. Save time and effort, and free your creativity with the GM Intrusion Deck! In addition to the deck in print, you also get this title in PDF. This title is delivered early.

The Weird

10,000+ incredible ideas that will make your game—any game!—even more engaging and memorable! A magical bow that creates snakes and looses them like arrows. A sorcerer whose powerful spells feed off their own brain tissue, slowly killing them. A man accompanied by the (friendly?) floating eye of a slain demon lord. A sword that inflicts wounds that scream. A gun that fires intelligent bullets. The Weird contains more than 100 lists of ideas, each over 100 entries long—that’s well over 10,000 (more like 12,000) mind-bending bursts of inspiration. The lists are organized by genre, so you can easily reference those best suited for your game, whether it’s science fiction, horror, fantasy, or whatever. Use them during game prep or on the fly to build great characters, encounters, or campaigns. And they're all exactly as weird as you need. You may want something completely over the top—or maybe your campaign is a bit more traditional. Not every game calls for the same level of weirdness. There are different kinds of weird, and they aren’t just a hierarchy or a matter of degree. They have different moods, different tones, and different uses in a game. The Weird puts every prompt into a category: Interesting, Surprising, Gonzo, and Whimsical. The Weird is an amazing game aid no matter what genre, or even game system, you're into. In addition to the book in print, you also get this title in PDF. This title is delivered early.
