Project Update: CS Open License News—Plus Some Valentine’s Day Fun!

We have a couple of exciting bits of Cypher System news to share today—one on the lighthearted side, and the other a more consequential benefit to the community. Let’s talk about that one first!

New CSRD Content

Back in January, before this campaign launched, we announced plans to expand the content of the Cypher System Reference Document, or CSRD. That’s the set of Cypher System rules that gamers and publishers can directly lift (or modify) for use in their products published under the Cypher System Open License (CSOL).

Today we rolled out the first chunk of that new content. We’ve updated the CSRD to include expanded fantasy rules, creatures, character options, and so on from Godforsaken. And done the same for science fiction with content from The Stars Are Fire. We’ve also added content from Cypher Shorts, putting rules for this low-prep, quick-play variant of the Cypher System into the CSOL environment.

We continue to plow forward on content from our other genre books. Look for rules from We Are All Mad Here, Stay Alive!, and Claim the Sky in the weeks to come. And it’s our intention to ultimately include content from Rust and Redemption and It’s Only Magic, too—but that’s somewhat further down the road, of course.

If you have an interest in publishing game content, the Cypher System Open License just got even better! And for Cypher System gamers everywhere, the scope of future third-party products just broadened. It’s a great time to be into the Cypher System!

And now (to quote Monty Python) for something completely different…

Who Will Be the Cypher System Valentine’s Sweethearts?

It’s the holiday of love, and one of the many reasons we love the Cypher System is that everything’s compatible. But that doesn’t mean everyone is compatible! Help us select our ultimate Valentine’s Day sweethearts—your votes will determine who ships with whom! But don’t worry—regardless of whether they get along or not, they’re all compatible. Because no matter what campaign you’re playing, everything in the Cypher System works together!

Will they click? You tell us!

We'll post new pairings every day now through Valentine's Day. The pairing with the most "ship" votes will be crowned Cypher System Valentine's Sweethearts! Vote now!

Help New Gamers Discover the Cypher System

We continue to see amazing new interest in the Cypher System—but there are still thousands and thousands of gamers who are looking for something new, but haven’t discovered it yet. Here are a couple of easy ways to help them!


Think of those poor lost gamers, wandering the internet looking for their new home! Won’t you help them find it?

Thanks again for your support!
