Cypher Shorts: Fantasy Shorts Vol. 2
 |
New One-Shot Adventures For Your Cypher System Games!
Cypher Shorts are special one-shot adventures designed for single sessions of three to four hours. Using a simplified character creation process and streamlined setup¸ Cypher Shorts are perfect for situations where:
the entire gaming group isn't available the group wants to experiment with a new genre someone new wants to act as GM for a session when the GM or PCs need a palate cleanser before resuming the normal campaign
The following Cypher Shorts are setting agnostic¸ although the GM is encouraged to tailor where these scenarios take place as they wish¸ and can be used as standalone one-shots or as low-prep inspiration for sessions in an ongoing campaign. The character creation guidelines for Cypher Shorts are provided later in this supplement¸ but existing characters can be used if the group prefers and the GM is comfortable.
Cypher Shorts are a supplement for the Cypher System and require an Underground Oracle Publishing setting ($3 on our Patreon)¸ the free Cypher System Rules Primer or the Cypher System Rulebook to play.
This Volume of Cypher Shorts Includes: Caravan Duty: The characters have been hired to guard a caravan as it makes its way through the countryside during the most treacherous time of the year. Can they escort the caravan to their destination intact? Fanged Hunger: The characters have accepted the call from a remote village to take care of a spider problem. Except that problem is a whole lot bigger than they anticipated and when they arrive¸ the whole village is coated in thick webbing and there isn't a soul in sight. Can they find the source of the problem and rescue the villagers before they're made into a liquid lunch? The Hole in The Sea: The characters are nautical adventurers who have come upon an opportunity for a very unexpected dungeon delve. Can they loot The Hole in The Sea before the hungry waters claim it once more? Cypher Shorts Guidelines: The simplified rules that you need to run and create characters for your Cypher Shorts.
