Cypher System
|
Cypher System gameplay involves a simple die roll that determines success or failure for any kind of action. There are few modifiers to encumber this roll; instead, the players apply their skills and other assets reduce the difficulty of a task. They can also focus a limited resource called Effort to further lower the difficulty of the actions really important to them.
It’s up to the players to bring to bear any advantages they have to lower a task's difficulty. Once they do, they roll the dice. The GM's job is to present imaginative and colorful situations, not fiddle with modifiers.
Characters earn XP when they make new, interesting discoveries (not from killing things, although combat is often necessary to make discoveries and accomplish missions). They also earn XP when the GM "intrudes" on the action of the game to introduce new complications. Lastly, players have the ability to award XP to other players for great ideas, useful actions, or other reasons.
XP can be spent to increase character abilities, or to affect events in the game (such as rerolling dice), gain short-term benefits, or advance in tier.
The Cypher System has been uniquely designed to make things easy on the GM. The goal is to decrease the amount of time the GM spends juggling game stats, and allow him to instead focus entirely on the story and the action at hand. Creatures, NPCs, and entire encounters are incredibly easy to make up on the fly — and even easier to run — but they still present vivid and interested challenges.

Dieser Artikel ist endgültig vergriffen
The Gods are Dead - Now It's Your Turn! There was a time when gods walked the world. Their magic pervaded the earth and the sky.

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.

Cypher System: Unmasked (HC)

Top Gun is in theaters. “Papa Don’t Preach” is on the radio. Halley’s Comet is in the sky, and Iran-Contra is in the news. The Soviets are in Afghanistan, and the Doomsday Clock is at 3 minutes until midnight. But there’s something else going on—something even bigger. At school, at the mall, down by the 7-Eleven, you’ve started noticing things. Is that troll doll really glowing? Is that cassette tape calling to you? Why doesn’t anyone else seem to notice?

Cypher System: Stay Alive (HC)
It's the abandoned corridor, the flickering light never quite reaching the deeper shadows. It's that cry in the distance - a child's wail, or some weird animal bleating? It's the gentle breath on the neck, or that slithering motion just past the edge of the light. It's horror, and whether it's a terrifying one-shot adventure, an entire campaign fighting against the darkness, or an edge of tension added to a more conventional adventure, it makes for great roleplaying experiences.

Instead, player characters in this setting must come to grips with the fact that they can do things normal humans cannot, and then decide what to do with these abilities. Meanwhile, clan... (vollständige Beschreibung)

Long before anything human roamed the Earth, the Appalachians towered tall and menacing. The mountains' might was made a prison and tomb for beings of immeasurable malice and incomprehensible madness. A place to hold them; to keep them, perhaps forever, from dimming the light above.
But time shows no mercy, not even to mountains, and now they lay bare and worn like an old man's spine. The walls of the prison grow thin, and those that have slumbered soundlessly for mille... (vollständige Beschreibung)
