And happy Tuesday! We’ve got some very exciting Cypher news lined up for you, but first:
You’ve chosen the second creature to be added to the Cypher Bestiary II! Cypher Bestiary II will now include the…
Wyvern (which originally appeared in Expanded Worlds)!
Does that mean the Chain Demon will not be included in the Cypher Bestiary II? Not necessarily, but we have the better part of 2,000 previously published creatures to choose from, and only so many we can fit into the book.
The Cypher Character Builder is now live!
Monte Cook Games is excited to announce the public beta release of the Cypher Character Builder, a world-class tool for building and managing tabletop roleplaying game characters for the Cypher RPG. It’s part of the growing Cypher Tools suite of online game tools, and like all of those tools, it’s free to use!
With Cypher Tools, character creation is quick, efficient, and fun. Just jump into the Character Builder, choose your type, descriptor, and focus, make a few choices about abilities, skills, and Pool points, and you’re ready to play. The Character Builder includes all the types and character options included in the Cypher Character Rulebook, with more to come as future releases further expand the options.

Our next poll is live! Help us pick a free sticker for every backer.
Your opinion is shaping what this campaign becomes. We’re conducting a poll every single weekday throughout this campaign to hear what you want to see published in Cypher Decoded and the Cypher Bestiary II. Some polls—like this one—will even add a free bonus item to your rewards!
We’re going to make a handful of vinyl stickers, and every backer gets them, no matter your pledge level. Help us choose the next design—it’s goodest boy versus baddest boy!
Will you vote for the baddest boy?
Or will you vote for the goodest one?
Vote for your choice! This poll will close tomorrow morning.
Psst…have a friend who’d love Cypher?
While Cypher—Advanced may be a campaign built for expanded and upgraded campaigns, it’s also a perfect entry point to the world of the new edition of Cypher!

Help us spread the word about Cypher—Advanced to make this campaign the biggest and best it can be!
