Iadace and welcome to Cypher Chronicles!
Exciting News and Interviews
- Six stretch goals! Yes, we’re just into day five of the Worlds of the Cypher System Kickstarter campaign, and the stretch goals are already piling on. We’ve added three poster maps, two PDF supplements, and the coolest one (so far): Myth of the Maker, a novel for The Strange in hardcover and popular ebook formats! Even without the stretch goals, these three incredible settings will change the way you look at their respective genres. Now we’re adding more Kickstarter-exclusive extras and new titles. You don’t want to miss this!
