Cypher System has a special place in my heart. I read a number of games/ rule systems and for many reasons I come back to Cypher. I grab some mechanics I like from other systems and just attach them to my world when needed. Cypher is just a great balance between narrative and simulation play for me. Great video.
Yah it’s become a favorite for me.
Thanks! Always tune in for more Cypher content
I just did a review of The Origin last week!
godforsaken and stars on fire are two of my favorite cypher system books.
Cool. I’ll have to put Stars on Fire on my “to read” list!
"The Stars Are Fire" is definitely the sci-fi/space opera equivalent for Cypher. I also picked up the horror one, Stay Alive, but only did a quick peruse thus far. Probably won't ever use the example setting in each of them, but I can see why they were included as an example. Since these genre expansions are primarily adding more to the already significant toolbox in the core book.
Thanks for the follow up! Yah. I haven’t found a sci-system I love yet. So maybe that’ll be a good thing for me to check out.
Thank you! Love learning more about Cypher System.
Thanks for watching!!!
Woo wee was waiting for this one, great review! Can’t wait for more Cypher reviews
Thanks!
I'm trying to plug "cyphers" into my DCC game. I like the idea of frequent, single-use items.
It’s an interesting concept.
another great review, thank you for delving into my favourite game systems
It’s one of mine, as well!
Very cool! I would love to have even one example right there while things are being explained it does help me understand a lot faster. Flat Paper and Ribbons for life haha
The character builder’s pregens are going to be helpful in this regard.
SEE YOU TOMORROW!
Your reviews are always informative and entertaining. Great job!!!
Thank you very much!
Very well done review! I'm going to pick this up now
Thanks!!!
Fantastic review, and I would enjoy seeing a play-through with your troupe at some point! Much appreciated and looking forward to future vids!
Thanks! I think my first live stream of Cypher System will be The Origin…stay tuned!
Love it
Yah, I’m a fan.
I love this! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Great review, Wes!
All things going well, my review of the book should be out next Thursday! ...Its such a recommended resource, especially in getting people from...a certain other game...to try a new game, with new rules and new ways to think about gaming.
Look forward to the next review! :)
I’ll make sure I check out your review
Sounds interesting.
I thought it was.
Empathy for others is in short supply in our "me first" culture. I suppose that we have to start somewhere, but a lot of people find "preachy" entertainment offputting.
Good review vid of an interesting product in a franchise tat deserves more attention.
That’s the point, it’s not “preachy,” though as an actual preacher that’s not a designation I level on folks. It’s baked into the setting. Most folks wouldn’t notice it because it’s how the characters need to function to survive. I only noticed it because I live on the edge of that faith/secular divide where I’m often having metaphorical grenades tossed at me from both directions.
I'm also not a big fan of high-gloss paper. However, there are different levels. I think the lower-gloss type is called "satin", or some such, which has less glare but still adds some extra protection to the paper. I generally like it although there's still seems to be a range of variance depending on manufacturer.
Yah. And MCG’s gloss isn’t oppressive. I’m just about the flat paper, anymore, so it’ll probably be my ongoing mini-rant as a fun thing for me.
Foki, not fosi. It is from Latin and there is no soft "c" sound in Latin. To use the character creator, you do have to have an account with Monte Cook Games. It is free, but you do have to log in. It covers character creation for many different genres. However, I was disappointed that they didn't include Numenera or The Strange among the core rulebooks they use. In the character creator, the race (species) is separate from the descriptor.
Numenera is coming, but their specific IPs are goign to have a charge to access. I’ll go back and look for the species/race - since having that second descriptor is kinda important.
I’ve had the “fo-si/fo-ki” discussion before. In US English both are acceptable pronunciations, even if the latter is more historically accurate. I’ve said the former my whole life so I’m probably not going to change just because it’s hard-wired.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video review. Minor point, 'foci' is pronounced 'fo-ki' not 'fo-si'. :)
Both pronunciations are acceptable in US English. I checked (it’s come up a few times).
Thanks for watching, though!!
