Monte and the team here at MCG are excited to announce Jewel in the Sky, a huge adventure for the Cypher game system that harkens to the classic dungeon experience—but with a very cool twist! Jewel in the Sky will crowdfund in April 2026 as part of Megadungeon Month on BackerKit. We are excited to join a host of other storied dungeon creators, including Goodman Games, Kobold Press, Troll Lord Games, Ghostfire Gaming, Loke Battle Mats, Rowan, Rook, & Decard, and many other TTRPG creators in one epic cross-collab funding event that will include special cross-project stretch goals for backers who support multiple campaigns.
Well over 100 encounters. Two ways to play. One astonishing twist!
The catacombs beneath the Cathedral of Stone, set high in the forbidding Sky Isles, have been sealed since the terrors of the Crystal Conflagration. But somewhere within them lies the key to a great mystery—a key sought not just by adventurers from your world, but also by dangerous interlopers from somewhere else. . . .
Monte Cook, the mind that created some of gaming’s most storied megadungeons—including Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, A Paladin in Hell, Ptolus, Dungeon-a-Day, and The Darkest House—now brings you Jewel in the Sky. Backed by a team famous for elegant and imaginative design, awe-inspiring artwork, amazing production values, and innovative, super-usable products, Monte’s return to the dank stony halls of the dungeon brings his immense experience and imagination to a huge dungeon filled with excitement and surprises!
Megadungeon Month is a celebration of dungeons at their most dangerous, deadly, and dazzling. Whether you crave old-school grit, dark fantasy intrigue, arcane mysteries, or mythic storytelling, Megadungeon Month is a portal to the ultimate dungeon adventure. It launches in April on the BackerKit crowdfunding platform.
