The Cypher System is a roleplaying game engine you can use to power campaigns set in virtually any genre. Created for the hit RPG Numenera and later used in The Strange, the Cypher System is lauded for its elegance, flexibility, ease of use, and focus on narrative. And now it’s a standalone rules set presented in the Cypher System Rulebook!
The Cypher System focuses on narrative, unleashing the creativity of the GM and players. Some people call it a “rules-light” system, but it has all the power and sophistication of games that are much more mechanically heavy—and substantially more flexibility.
