We’ve been doing fall cleaning (that’s a thing, right?) and reorganization at our Kansas warehouse in preparation to take delivery of Subtle Cypher Deck, Numenera Deck Boxes, and Enchiridion of the Path in the very near future. It’s like a giant 4D tile game: move these pallets over there, move those pallets to the rear, move another pallet onto the industrial shelving, et voila! More room for new products! Fortunately, both Charles and I generally like this type of game, so while it makes for a few long, physically strenuous days, it is enjoyable to see the end results.
Holy cats! Speaking of the Subtle Cypher Deck, it was delivered as I was typing this . . . huzzah! As soon as it arrives at our international fulfillment houses, we’ll begin fulfilling it to those for whom it is a Kickstarter reward. If the Subtle Cypher Deck is not one of your Kickstarter rewards, here is what you are missing: a 100-card deck to generate cyphers quickly and easily—with all the necessary text on the card. These subtle cyphers are sudden inspirations or insights, bursts of adrenaline, or just bits of good fortune, as opposed to magical or technological items. Once we’ve fulfilled the reward to our backers, you’ll be able to purchase the Subtle Cypher Deck from the MCG Shop.
The Stars Are Fire
Those of you who know me know that I love sci-fi, so if aliens, starships, amazing technology, and interstellar exploration excite you, trust me when I say you are going to really dig The Stars Are Fire. With a complete sci-fi setting, a full-length adventure, two sci-fi Cypher Shorts, and a huge catalog of sci-fi equipment (all graded according to the tech level and style of your game—from contemporary to fantastic), The Stars Are Fire gives you everything you need to satisfy your Cypher System sci-fi roleplaying addiction.
The Stars Are Fire is available to preorder now from the MCG Shop. When it is released, The Stars Are Fire will be fulfilled to our Kickstarter backers first, then to preorder customers, and then it will be for purchase on the MCG Shop and at all fine FLGS world-wide.

- From Charles: Looking for some creepy, surreal counterparts to your Invisible Sun iconic figures?
- From Bruce: The more we engage in biological scientific research, the more we see into life’s evolutionary past. Take, for instance, our salamander-like ability to regrow cartilage in joints!
- From Jennifer: This sounds like one of the Seussical plot points!
