Project Update: TWO Books Fulfilling, Cypher Launch, and LOADS of Big News!
Hello, backers—
We’re on the verge of a huge week for Cypher—a week full of cool stuff that you, by backing this campaign, made happen. We have a ton of news to share, and maybe a surprise or two. In fact, it’s so much news, here’s a quick summation:
- We’re fulfilling TWO books to you in PDF right now!
- Cypher launches to the public next week
- Cypher Con is next weekend
- And we’re holding a special launch event
- The Cypher Open License is now live
- And more: forthcoming news about VTTs, online tools, and a big surprise!
And now here are the details—it’s a lot, but we’ll keep it as brief as we can!
We’re fulfilling the Cypher GM’s Guide and Cypher Bestiary in PDF
If these titles are among your rewards, keep an eye on your email today. We're currently in the process of fulfilling your PDFs!
Both of these books are now on press, so the physical books are just a couple of weeks from hitting our warehouse—so look forward to the print versions fulfilling soon. The slipcase will follow not too far down the road.
We’re really proud of both of these titles, and you’re going to love them.
Cypher Character Rulebook launches on Wednesday!
Backers have had the Cypher Character Rulebook for weeks (and early-access backers have had prerelease versions for much longer), so it can be easy to forget that Cypher isn’t out to the public yet. That’s about to change!
The Cypher Character Rulebook’s street date is this coming Wednesday (August 19th). It will be available to the public from the MCG Shop, your FLGS, online retailers like Amazon, and so forth next week!
Just in time for Cypher Con online
Cypher Con is an annual online game convention exclusively for Cypher and MCG’s other games. It’s hosted and run by the fine folk at the Cypher Unlimited Discord. This year, Cypher Con kicks off the evening of Thursday, August 20th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd. There are still open seats for several games, so it’s not too late to sign up!
In addition to games, special events will include an AMA with Monte and the design team, and a special watch party for a new MCG video hosted by Charles and Shanna.
You can join the Cypher Unlimited Discord here! And don't forget to sign up to play games at Cypher Con. Games will run from 12pm EDT on Friday, September 19th, to 11:30pm EDT on Sunday, September 21st.
We’re holding a fun launch event!
The official Cypher launch event is on Saturday, August 22nd at Cardboard Corner Café in Overland Park, Kansas. We’ll be playing games and enjoying a special menu that includes several custom Cypher-themed beverages. If you’re in the Kansas City area next weekend, we’d love to see you! You can sign up for games here.
The Cypher Open License is live!
Ever wanted to publish your own adventures, supplements, settings, or even complete games? Love Cypher and want to tinker with the rules in a published product? Or maybe you just look forward to loads of additional support for your Cypher adventures?
The Cypher Open License makes all of that possible! Publishers can produce games and supplements using the Cypher rules and market them as compatible with Cypher. You can use as much or as little of the rules as you like, tinker with them as you see fit, and publish products as small as a PDF with a couple of creatures or character options, up to full-fledged complete RPGs—or beyond!
Next week is going to be exciting!
There’s so much more. Next week, and in the weeks to come, we’ll have big announcements—get ready to build Cypher characters in minutes with a cool free online tool, and to take Cypher on its first steps into the VTT world.
Plus we have one or two (or more!) other surprises to roll out next week. It’s going to be a BIG week for Cypher—stay tuned!
This is a really exciting time for all of us here at MCG, and for Cypher fans everywhere. Thank you for your support and backing, which helped make all of this possible!
—Team MCG
