Colonial space marines against Giger-esque horrors? Silver-Age heroes defending the weak versus megalomaniacal supervillains? An underwater colony on a faraway moon? Cthulhoid horrors by gaslight? High Fantasy? Espionage? The Wild West? Name your campaign, and the Cypher System will give you a game that supports your vision.
Build worlds, and know that the Cypher System will support them, bending easily to your will and always remaining easy to run and prep for. Your players will stay focused on the setting, story, and details you want to give them, and you’ll find your mind freed from the burden of game technicalities and able to focus on creative adventures, encounters, NPCs, and events.
The Cypher System Rulebook adapts the Cypher System - the critically acclaimed, award-winning rules set that drives Numenera and The Strange - to an unlimited range of campaigns and genres. Start a new campaign set in a fantasy land of elves and fae creatures, a science fiction setting spanning the galaxy, or a modern-day slasher horror game - or add scads of new options to your Numenera or The Strange campaign.
Character generation isn’t just flexible, it’s completely customizable. Types can be easily “flavored” to tailor them to a specific genre. Spice up the adept with magic, and you get a character that feels distinctly different from one seasoned with technology, plus Foci and descriptors are tagged for different genres.
The Cypher System Rulebook gives you tons of character options, equipment, and genre-specific rules and advice for fantasy, modern, science-fiction, horror, and superhero game campaigns, as well as special coverage of vehicular combat and customizable character types, plus loads of artifacts, creatures, NPCs, and cyphers.
