The Magnus Archives RPG continues to grow in popularity—all of our games at Gen Con were sold out this year! We also had budding archivists and cosplayers galore at the booth, some of whom had never roleplayed before. Our staff and our GMs were stoked to introduce folks to their first RPG session!

Monte, our design team, and all of us here at Monte Cook Games are excited to announce the 2026 launch of a new edition of our popular, award-winning tabletop roleplaying game system Cypher. Creating characters is getting even faster. Launching new campaigns is getting even easier. Tools for creating the worlds, stories, and characters you envision are getting even better. All while retaining every ounce of the quick gameplay, story focus, and easy GMing the Cypher System is famous for!
If you love GMing and playing The Magnus Archives RPG, Cypher is how you build on the horror, suspense, and action of your game. Many aspects of The Magnus Archives ruleset have been integrated into the updated Cypher rules!
Combined images of the new Cypher book covers showing characters and a range of creatures from genres ranging from sci-fi and fantasy to post apocalyptic and more!
