Hello, backers—

We’re in the final day of this campaign, and what a day it’s turning out to be! You’ve unlocked the Cypher Character Portfolios, which is now an add-on and a reward for every backer at the ALL-IN (print and PDF) pledge level (and in PDF for ALL-IN (PDF only) backers).

And you did it with plenty of time and momentum to hit even more goals!

As we do with every stretch goal, we’re throwing in a free bonus reward for every backer, in the form of a vinyl sticker. Here’s the design you voted for:

One of the benefits of backing this campaign is that your copy of the Cypher Character Rulebook, Cypher GM’s Guide, and Cypher Bestiary will be special: they’ll include premium upgrades like foil covers. In short, you’re getting a deluxe version at the standard price—and it’s an exclusive that won’t be available except through this campaign.

Why stop at the corebooks, though? We unlocked Cypher Character Options this week, and the previously unlocked Predationand The Strange setting books are going to be beautiful, inspiring, and quite hefty. So we’d like to reward the backers of this campaign by making them all as special and limited as the corebooks. We’ll unlock this upgrade when we get to 5250 backers.

In the last update, we talked about how close this campaign is getting to the $1,000,000 mark—a milestone that’s only been hit by a few non-licensed, non-5E RPG campaigns. We remain on track to land very close to that number; in fact, yesterday the campaign raised more than The Magnus Archives: Tangled in the Web did in its second-to-last day. (That campaign topped a million dollars, and Cypher’s trendline has been very similar to it.)

Over on the Cypher Unlimited discord, a few fans have asked if we would release ALL of the bonus stickers—even the designs that didn’t win their polls (many of which still got hundreds of votes). We half-jokingly responded that if the campaign hits a million dollars, we’d make it happen.

Well, why joke? It seems like a milestone worth celebrating! So let’s make it official: Take us over the one-million-dollar mark, and we’ll give every backer every single sticker you’ve seen in this campaign.

Like all of the stickers, this isn’t really a stretch goal per se—more of a little Thank-You treat for every backer for helping make this campaign so successful.

First, make sure you’re following us on the social media platforms of your choice. You can find loads of posts, images, and more to share on our accounts.

Second, go to places where people talk about RPGs, and mention this campaign. Say a word or two about why you like it, and include the link mymcg.info/cypher Or if someone’s already started a conversation, join in and support the campaign. Here are a few places to check out:

Third, share some of this art—cool images catch eyes!

Fourth, like and comment on any posts you see your friends share. This tells the algorithm to keep showing those posts to more people.

We’re already barreling toward this next stretch goal, with new backers jumping in almost by the minute! So when we unlock it, which sticker should we give you as your bonus reward. (Of course, as we said above, if we get all the way to $1,000,000, you’ll get both!)

Vote now. And keep spreading the word!

Thanks for your support!
