Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dahak" data-source="post: 7694871" data-attributes="member: 784">Relevant information from last night's Cypher System Live chat --New MCG Managing Editor Dennis Detwiller (of Delta Green and Godlike fame) came up with the dark supers idea that became Masks.This will be three separate setting books. 192 pages each, probably.Gods of the fall is pretty far along in development cycle, predation after that, masks last.You can pick up just one or all in Kickstarter.When asked if there would be new rules, Shanna said "Goal is to showcase how easy the rules are to adapt to the setting." An example given was "God rules which help strengthen and deepen your character."When asked if a CSR character sheet pack would be a part of the Kickstarter? "Never know."Will stretch goals mean more settings? Charles Ryan says, "We're looking at more books" "[there is] more that [they] could do for the CS itself, as its not just about these three settings". More they'd like to do for The Strange. Fiction, perhaps. The Asset Deck will be an initial offering as part of the kickstarter - cards granting temporary skills, random benefits that can be used as in game assets. Can be handed out like XP or arbitrarily, but this hasn't completely been determined how they'll work. Probably one asset per card as opposed to several options like the cypher deck.Some sort of character builder "not out of the question", but Charles seemed uncomfortable when answering that. This KS isn't really the focus of next GenCon. Doing something different for Cypher System at GenCon.Charles Ryan name-checks Torg, and liked the way cards worked in the game.More details on Masks? Charles answers: "Psychological horror with like a superhero element to it." Dennis Detwiller's past with Pagan Publishing and Delta Green mentioned. "cool creative, doesnt hold back." Shanna adds: "an evil superhero, which you know is an oxymoron, but it really is very very dark."All books will have PDF and hardcopy options.Fractals are now Glimmers, all PDF only products are now Glimmers regardless of brand. In Gods of the Fall, Divine tasks (or labors, like Hercules' labors) are part of character tier advancement in addition to the four boxes.</blockquote>
