We have just two days left in the Cypher—Advanced! crowdfunding campaign (not including overtime, which we know our superfans are, well, fans of). There’s still lots to talk about in these last 48 hours! Let’s get into it:
Your free sticker collection is complete!
As part of this campaign, we’re going to make a handful of vinyl stickers, and every backer gets them, no matter your pledge level. You’ve been voting on this collection for the last two weeks, adding stickers to each and every backer’s pledge.
Yesterday’s poll is in, and a fourth sticker has been added to your collection!
Cyber(Cypher?)—netic marksman!
Cyphers are online with the Datasphere Deck Tool
The first content addition to the new Datasphere Deck Tool went live today, with the free versions of the Cypher Deck and Manifest Cypher Deck now available!
If you backed the Cypher: Faster. Easier. And Even Better! campaign last year, and these decks were among your rewards, you can look forward to us fulfilling the digital versions soon. Once that happens, you'll be able to access the full decks on the Datasphere Deck Tool.
And if that's not you? The decks will be available for purchase later this fall. In the meantime, the free versions are fully usable; great for grabbing a cypher or three in a pinch. They have all the features of the full decks, but with a limited selection of cards.
The Datasphere Deck Tool showing the new Cypher decks!
This is just step one of many! This new content marks the beginning of a process that will see all of MCG's many handy decks migrated into the Datasphere Deck Tool over the months to come.
If you haven't checked out the Datasphere Deck Tool, give it a try now! Part of the Cypher Tools suite of free online tools (including the Character Builder), this browser-based application makes our decks—filled with cyphers, creatures, GM intrusions, and useful prompts—as convenient, handy, and time-saving in the digital space as they are at the physical game table. Draw random cards or pick cards of your choosing and “hand” them to players through a DM, a VTT chat, your Discord channel, or however you run your game online—just like you would at a physical game table. Additional features, including the ability to customize decks, are in the works and, as just noted, MCG's existing decks will all be migrated to the Datasphere Deck Tool over the months to come.
It’s time for your final genre vote for Cypher Decoded!
As you know by this point, we’ve been asking backers to help us choose some of the genres to be detailed in Cypher Decoded. We just have way too many cool ideas to fit them (reasonably) inside the books we’re making in this campaign!
Over the last two weeks, you’ve added Espionage, Pulp Action, and Ultraviolence (& Skills). We’re sure this combination of genres (complete with new types, genre abilities, and genre-specific optional rules) will create some epic games at your table and settings in your mind.
Your final genre poll is between Capers and Psychics.
Heists. Ocean’s Eleven. Leverage. Lupin. Or a world filled with unique psychics, each more powerful than the last. Which do you want to run?
Do you want to be a Smooth-talking Con Artist who Gets Away?
Or a Powerful Psychic who Bends Reality?
Remember: campaigns only soar with YOUR help!
The final few days are usually some of a campaign’s best—but only with your help spreading the word!
Post! Tweet! Shout! Tell the world why you're backing this campaign! If you aren't feeling creative, go to MCG's social media and pick a post you like to share. Or grab any of these graphics (right-click to download) and share them, along with a link to mymcg.info/cypher—advanced.
You blew our socks off with the overtime in the Cypher: Faster. Easier. And Even Better! crowdfunding campaign—and we can’t wait to see how electric the last 48 hours of this campaign are!
