Monte Cook Games is excited to announce the public beta release of the Cypher Character Builder, a world-class tool for building and managing tabletop roleplaying game characters for the Cypher RPG. It’s part of the growing Cypher Tools suite of online game tools, and like all of those tools, it’s free to use!
Using the Character Builder, gamers can create, advance, manage, and modify their characters, and store their characters for access at any time—making it even easier to take advantage of Cypher’s flexibility, narrative focus, and ease of use across an infinite range of game genres and worlds!
Character creation is quick, efficient, and fun. Just jump into the Character Builder, choose your type, descriptor, and focus, make a few choices about abilities, skills, and Pool points, and you’re ready to play. The Character Builder includes all the types and character options included in the Cypher Character Rulebook, with more to come as future releases further expand the options.
Once your character is built, you can store it within the Character Builder to access it later. You can advance and modify your character at any time.
When you’re ready to play, you have multiple options for accessing and using your character.
- Export your character to a form-fillable PDF. Use it for online play, or on a device during an in-person game. Or print it out and take it to your game table! The PDF format is identical to the standard character sheet found in the Cypher Character Rulebook.
- Use the Character Builder as your character sheet. Whether you’re playing online, or with a laptop or other device in an in-person game, you can update Pools, cyphers, equipment, and other character information directly in the Character Builder during play.
- And coming soon, you’ll be able to export your character directly to a VTT platform.
This public beta release of the Character Builder is just one step in the continued development of the Cypher Tools suite and support for the growing Cypher community!
