Adult themes, edibles… this is my kind of thread.

Funny, I'd never considered mixing edibles and roleplaying games in precisely this manner.

Honestly, this part of the revised book was really hard for me to understand upon first read-through, but once it clicked and I realized just how customizable characters in Cypher system could be, it's also the chapter which made me want to stop reading Cypher and start playing it.

I'm willing to split the baby: Cypher shares some general design elements with Fate while its game mechanics and resolution system are completely different. More specifically, both systems have a meta-currency which players can acquire by agreeing to accept certain roleplaying cues and can...

As much as I love Cypher System-- it's a truly fantastic game-- the lack of material on 'realistic' subtle cyphers has always made it more of a challenge to run modern, historical, or near-future hard science fiction settings using this system. I'm super-happy to see that the new edition is...
