Project Update: Deluxe Cypher System Rulebook Is Fulfilling!

Hello, backers—

We have some great news for you!

The deluxe edition of the Cypher System Rulebook (CSR) reached our warehouses this week, and as promised, we began fulfillment immediately.

It turned out beautifully—this is an edition that Cypher System fans will be proud and happy to have at their game tables!

And as you may recall from our last update, we’re also fulfilling the T-shirt with the deluxe CSR.

If either of these is among your rewards, check your email for fulfillment instructions. Or simply log into the MCG Shop (using the email address you gave us in the pledge manager—that’s very important!), navigate to My Account and click on Coupons, then click the Add All Coupons to Cart button.

How Are the Other Books Coming?

While the deluxe Cypher System Rulebook was in production, we’ve been working hard on the other titles you funded. Here’s a quick roundup; we’ll have more detailed information, and perhaps a sneak peek, in our next update!

Rust and Redemption is fully designed and well into the editing process. It will enter layout soon!
The same is true for the Cypher System Starter Set. While its in-house timeline is pretty similar to that of Rust and Redemption, its production process will take substantially longer.
The Cypher System Bestiary is in the final phases of the design step. There’s a complete draft, and now it’s going through what’s called development, where the design team sort of takes it for a test drive to make sure everything works the way it’s intended.
It’s Only Magic is in design now.
And design of Adventures in the Cypher System is just starting.

200 years of unsettling supernatural encounters paint a chilling picture of the forces gnawing at humanity's edges

An odd figure beckons drunken pub-goers into an alleyway—never to be seen again. A calliope, found in an attic with dozens of dismembered dolls, plays music you can’t stop hearing. A meat grinder compels its user to merrily feed it their own limbs. A late-night subway train burrows itself into the earth, all but crushing its lone occupant. A book empowers its reader to rearrange the bones of others, to grisly effect.

For 200 years, the Magnus Institute has quietly collected statements from people of all walks of life, detailing their personal experiences with the supernatural. These disparate statements can be unsettling—even deadly. But as one digs into the archives, the implications become truly terrifying.

Because these incidents aren’t isolated, unconnected events. The patterns they paint hint at forces gnawing at the edges of humanity, forces whose malignancy and malice threaten everything we value.

Forces that must be held at bay—but even beginning to understand them might bring you under their influence.

Enter the archives and help investigate the supernatural horrors found in its records. Encounter the NotThem, the Anglerfish, or the Man Upon the Stair. Learn the truth of the books of Jurgen Leitner, the coffin that is also a pit, and The People’s Church of the Divine Host. And begin to see the patterns that reveal the true horrors connecting these disparate statements.

The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game is crowdfunding now, right here on BackerKit. It’s an exciting, record-breaking campaign, filled with cool exclusives. Check it out!

Thanks again for your support!
