Project Update: The First Megadungeon Built Entirely for Cypher is Here!
Hello, backers—
What an exciting time to be a Cypher fan!
Cypher has finished design, and is currently in editing and layout. Many of you have likely seen the early access versions (whether through the document itself or our ‘Using the New Cypher Rules in Your Game Now’ series)—maybe you’ve even played a game yourself! We’re so excited for the print editions to enter production, and we’ll have a larger update later this month to share progress on corebook layout and the gorgeous Cypher dice!
For now, we’d like to tell you about…
Jewel in the Sky: A Megadungeon with a Twist from Monte Cook!
Jewel in the Sky is the first megadungeon built from the ground up for Cypher. It’s not an adaptation, or a conversion—it’s the easiest megadungeon you will ever run, and the most interesting megadungeon your players will ever experience.
An eight-mile-long island floating 1000 feet above distant mountains, filled with dark passages, huge vaulted rooms, mysterious devices, and dark magic. Things that crawl, slither, and moan. Monsters, creatures, and dark forces. And strange and unimaginable treasures, waiting for those brave—or foolish—enough to claim them.
The base on Vocurru was established to investigate the strange qualities of minerals unique to its planet—but because the inhabitants have only a medieval level of social development, the base has always operated in secret.
Now it’s gone offline. Communications are down. The fate of base personnel is unknown, and a rescue party is on the way. But what will they discover on a planet that doesn’t play by the known rules of physics?
Harkening back to the days of classic dungeon-crawling, Jewel in the Sky is a perfect introduction to Cypher for gamers (and groups) new to the system.
Play Jewel in the Sky as a classic fantasy dungeon filled with unusual discoveries. Or drop it into a space opera sci-fi game, and play as the visitors reclaiming their base on a world unlike any ever encountered. It’s specifically designed to play either way—and to deliver twists and surprises that will make this dungeon crawl a weird, exciting, and memorable adventure! Once you explore the island of Voccuro, there won’t be any going back…
We’re so excited to be a part of Backerkit’s MegaDungeon Month! We’re joined by a host of storied dungeon creators, including Goodman Games; Kobold Press; Troll Lord Games; Ghostfire Gaming; Loke Battle Mats; Rowan, Rook, & Decard; and many other TTRPG designers in one epic cross-collab event, including special cross-project stretch goals for backers who support multiple campaigns.
