Project Update: Face Your Fears is on press, plus exciting Cypher Tools news!

Hello, archivists—

Happy Spooky Season! Are you feeling the chill in the air? In Kansas, we definitely aren’t—it’s 85 degrees (30 C)! But for the sake of immersion, let’s all read this update as if we’re snuggled in blankets, with a nice cup of tea, and a friendly ghost peeking over our shoulder.

Face Your Fears is being printed as we speak!

Face Your Fears is a book specifically for the GM, offering new monsters, artefacts, and more. It even includes a detailed layout of both the Magnus Institute itself and Salesa’s Storage where the dealer of cursed objects keeps all his horrible goods, and the protocols for keeping them safe (or rather, keeping him safe from them)—both written by Jonathan Sims!

We’re excited to share that this supplement, the last of the three main supplements crowdfunded in this campaign, is on press and will soon be made physical in our world! And what better way to share this news than with a sneak peek of the inside layout:

We’ll let you know as soon as these books have finished printing and are on their way to our warehouse. This process takes a few weeks, but as soon as we have them, we’ll be sure to update you!

Check out The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game XP Deck on the Datasphere Deck Tool!

We have even more exciting TMA news to share—but of the digital variety! The Magnus Archives XP Deck has been added to the Datasphere Deck Tool as part of our ongoing support for online play.

When you purchase one of our digital decks, you receive it not only in PDF format, but also via the Datasphere Deck Tool. This unique product format makes our digital decks as useful for online play as the print decks are at the physical game table.

Draw random cards, or view the entire deck and pick one.
Copy the card image and “hand” it to your player via your VTT, in a Discord chat, or however you communicate when you play online.
Or click to copy the text and send them just that.
Peruse a deck easily, sort cards, and organize them as you see fit.

The Datasphere Deck Tool gives your deck the same time-saving and inspirational utility in the digital space as a print deck delivers at the physical game table—and it’s free, in addition to the PDF file. (In fact, you will probably find the Datasphere Deck Tool to be much handier than the PDF.)

The Datasphere Deck Tool is easy and fun to use!

Anyone can use a Basic version of a deck for free, or, if you own it on the MCG Shop, load your purchase straight into the Datasphere Deck Tool and start pulling cards. That means, if the Magnus Archives XP Deck is among your rewards from this campaign, and you redeemed it through the MCG Shop, you can start using the full version right now!

Go to decks.cypher-rpg.com
Log in with the same username and password as you use here on the MCG Shop. You must log in via the MCG Shop to access your purchased decks.
Under Decks in the upper-left, click Add Deck.
- You’ll see a list of all your purchased decks, and, below that, other available decks. Click on the deck you wish to use.
- If you don’t see a deck you own, under your account icon (in the upper-right), select Refresh My Decks.
- You can also the free basic decks—their card selection is limited, but they’re fully functional.
Click the deck to draw the top card. Or click the deck name in the Decks menu to see all of your cards—and pick the cards you want.
Once a card is out on the canvas, double-click it for a closer look. From there you can copy an image of the card, or the card text, to send to a player.
If you also want the deck in PDF, simply download it from your account on the MCG Shop.

We’ll have more news about The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game online implementation to share soon—make sure to stay tuned for our next update for those tidbits as well as Presentation Box manufacturing updates!

Thanks for your support!
—Team MCG
