Quote : « A Cypher System campaign of Victorian horror? High fantasy? Espionage? Galaxy-spanning space opera? Soon, any of those will be as easy as running The Strange or Numenera. The Cypher System Rulebook is the next big corebook release from Monte Cook Games. It’s coming in early August—but you can pre-order it now (and there’s a pretty good deal–read on)! »
The Cypher system is the engine under the hood for the Numenera and The Strange RPGs by Monte Cook. The system works with a d20 roll but is not a d20 game similar to D&D 3.5/Pathfinder.
By applying skills, effort (from your attributes) and equipment its possible to lower the target number to succeed. If you roll above the TN you succeed. If you reduce the TN to zero its an automatic success with no roll. I've played a few games of Numenera. Its a very straight forward, streamlined and fun system.
This could very well be an alternate system for a Infinity RPG if you don't like were Morphidious 2d20 is going with the official RPG.
Pre-orders are opened from today until June 26th.
