We're building a collection of XP cards—fully compatible with the standard Cypher XP Deck—especially for Jewel in the Sky. And because Jewel can be played as either a fantasy or sci-fi adventure, you'll see options for both genres. Which card should we add to the collection next?
Project Update: Cards Increased! How about More Adventure?
Hello, backers—
Another stretch goal! Thank you for spreading the word and continuing to help more gamers discover Jewel in the Sky. It’s thanks to you that this campaign has kept up such a marvelous pace!
We’re now adding another big tranche of cypher and creature cards to the boxed set. And not only that: every backer also gets another XP card added to their collection as a free bonus reward. This is the card you voted for:
(Let’s be honest: it was always going to be the vaudin. I (Charles) don’t know what this creature is—we haven’t met it in the playtest yet—but it sure looks like it’ll be a frightening encounter!)
Stretch Goal: Side Quests!
But what if there was more? Vocurro is a fascinating place filled with hooks and elements that suggest countless potential stories. And who doesn’t like more adventure?
We’ve been enjoying an exciting playtest campaign over the past couple of months—and as Monte has been running that game, he says it’s suggested a lot of ideas for side-quests and other adventures. So let’s add a bit of that to the box!
This is an entirely new component, and it’s exclusive to the boxed set edition. It will expand your Vocurro-related adventuring with one or more short side-quests, all related to (but not critical for) the main Jewel in the Sky plot threads. It will give you even more opportunities to enjoy the unique setting and the characters you come to love as they explore Vocurro.
We’ll unlock this side-quest booklet and add a new component to the box when we reach 1725 backers!
And As Always, Another XP Card!
The poll is now open!
We’ve Hit the Halfway Point—Let’s Keep the Goals Rolling!
- Doubled the number of loose-leaf maps in the box
- Doubled the map size as well
- Added a bestiary of detailed, expanded creature info and lore
- Unlocked a GM Notebook for optimizing your campaign.
- Increased the number of cypher and creature cards in the box (twice!)
- Upped the number of handouts
- Added a second poster map
- Upgraded the whole thing with a deluxe, die-cut, magnetic-closure box
- And unlocked and grown the collection of XP cards (now up to nine in total!)
With the campaign at its halfway point, we might have just as many stretch goals to come—if you keep the momentum going! We work hard to spread the word, but it’s backers who really build the buzz.
Please take a moment to help spread the word. Follow our social media and like, comment, or better yet share some of our posts. Help other gamers discover Jewel in the Sky, and we’ll keep unlocking stretch goals!

1620/1625 Backers. About to unlock more cypher and bestiary cards. This campaign has been awesome so far (anyone expecting any less from this legendary team?) I went a bit over budget the past few months going for the all in both for New Cypher and Numenera, and now this box, I'm so glad though, anyone else on the same boat (all in/top tier for all three projects?)
