Cypher is about to be your new favourite game!

Whether you’re a diehard fan of classic dungeon fantasy games, or want to run sci-fi, superhero, horror, or any other genre, Cypher is about to be your new favourite game. Here are just a few reasons why:

It’s perfect for the story you want to be a part of. Whether you’re delving into a dungeon, hunting gigeresque horrors in the dark corridors of a derelict spaceship, facing the zombie apocalypse, or swashbuckling on the high seas, it’s easy to craft your campaign without kit-bashing the rules to make them fit.

With built-in tools bring your story to life! You don’t have to fudge die rolls or railroad your players to get a great story—the game is made for you to shape the narrative in ways that are fair, fun, and give everyone at the table a great experience. And the players have their own tools to contribute to the story, and incentives to build and follow their character’s motivations and story arcs—as much or as little as they like.

You’re never a slave to some rigid rule or the wrong roll of the dice. The game serves your story!

It’s easy to prep and run. It’s Friday and the players will be here in 15 minutes? If you have a cool idea and a number between 1 and 10, you’ve got an encounter. You can build sophisticated stat blocks in less than five minutes. You can run completely on the fly! The GM’s imagination is freed up to make your game cool, interesting, and fun—you’ll spend almost no time on the mechanics.

Once you’re at the table, Cypher is amazingly easy to GM. If you can decide how hard something is on a scale of 1 to 10, you can resolve anything in Cypher. The GM sets a difficulty, the PCs’ skills, tactics, and choices might reduce that difficulty, and then the player makes a simple die roll.

Gameplay is fast-paced and fun. Things move quickly in Cypher—a typical game session might cover twice as much ground as a more mechanics-heavy RPG. There’s plenty for players to sink their teeth into, but the mechanics are elegant and easy to master.

And it’s not just about fast-paced encounters. Character arcs create subplots while developing PCs’ motives, personal stories, and relationships. The Divination Deck adds inspiration and twists. Your campaign isn’t just faster—it’s more engaging and memorable.

Cypher frees your imagination! Cypher is a “mid-crunch” RPG—it’s not a rules-lite game, but it keeps the mechanics out of your way. And it’s built for flexibility from the ground up, so you’re never trying to figure out how to bend the rules to get the game you want. The GM’s bandwidth is freed up for making the game interesting and fun, rather than managing mechanics. It’s fast, effortless, and keeps your game focused on narrative and choices rather than numbers and math.

If you can imagine it, Cypher makes it easy!
