SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Cipher RPG is now available!

We are proud to announce the PDF release of our first game, the Cipher RPG.
It's been a long and sometimes difficult road, but here we are. We will have hardcopies available in the very near future, but for now head on over to DrivethruRPG and grab your digital copy here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=83337

After you've had a chance to dig through it a bit, stop back by and let us know what you think. You can either drop it in the comments section or start a thread at our forums.

We hope you like what you see!

Neat! When will the other cover versions go up?

The two alternate covers will be be available within the next couple of days. Each of the covers is a depiction of one of the Three Tomorrows (Apocalypse, Balance, & Dystopia), the three possible futures that Ciphers are trying to either ensure or prevent.

Character generation is based on 6 attributes, from which other stats and super-human talents are derived. Combat and skill checks are simple 2D10, target number checks. Attribute+Skill+Skill Focus gives you your target number.

We haven't currently released a complete list of Talents, but there are 71 unique abilities divided between the four Forms of Talents: Biokinesis, Clairvoyance, Psychokinesis, and Telepathy. We will be posting a sample of some of the Talents on our website either today or tomorrow.

I hope that helps.

Awesome, that's helpful. I'll need to wait a bit but sounds like something I'll look at. Any plans for POD/Print?

We plan on offering all three covers through our website very soon. (We're hoping before Halloween).

As of yet, we haven't finalized a relationship with a distributor, but a number of brick-n-mortar stores in the United States Midwest will be carrying it around the same time as we begin offering it through our store.

Thanks,

Paul
