The Cypher System is a ttrpg by Monte Cook Games, that is exceedingly quick and simple to play, from creating characters to running adventures. It’s the basis of most of my ttrpg work here at Against the ’70s. I have a post explaining how the game works, and why I chose it, here. There’s a free rules primer from Monte Cook Games if you’d like a
I’ve created two products for the Cypher System, both of which are free to download.
Owns the Road: Ttrpgs allow you to be whatever you can imagine, but it’s usually some kind of organic biped. What this game supplement presupposes is: what if you were a car? One that could think and talk and, if necessary, run people over? If this sounds like something that’s right up your street, then download Owns the Road and give it a test drive.
Struts: The mid-’70s. Mirror balls, glowing multicolored dance floors, polyester suits, and most importantly: boogieing, a.k.a. getting down. Characters in an Against the ’70s game are familiar with disco culture, but only one is truly of the culture. If you’re someone who Struts, you’re so in tune with your body and the rhythms of the world, you can shake your groove thing, catch the eyes of the beautiful people, and give an extra-dimensional corpse-stealing alien a knockout punch, all at the same time. And never muss a perfect hair on your head. You can download it here.
