Cypher System

The Cypher System, from Monte Cook Games, has become my favorite general purpose system, and perhaps one of my favorite systems overall. It is a lightweight "rulings over rules" system with only a couple core mechanics and a lot of player options, easily adaptable to any setting.

Homebrew and House Rules

Custom content (descriptors, etc.) I've created for games in the Cypher system can be found at this page of homebrew. Additionally, I use the following house rules:

• Optional spellcasting uses pool points, not recovery rolls
• Recovery rolls can be applied in any order
• Weapon properties

Campaigns

• A Storm Invited
• Adventuring!
• Out to the Black

On Hold

• Farewell to the Spire

Resources

• Old Gus' Cypher System Reference Document — freely available rules text for the Cypher System and other openly available sources
• Form-fillable character sheet

Characters

Characters made for other games:

• Victor Cadela

Making characters is fun, so I've made some scratch characters for the hell of it.
