  • DISCLAIMER: I am in no way employed by Monte Cook Games. I am just a gushing fan. :P

    I know I’m late to the party here, but what can I say? I’m new! Anyway, I simply must chime in with my favorite TTRPG: the Cypher System by Monte Cook Games, and specifically the Old Gods of Appalachia campaign setting based on the hugely popular podcast of the same name. Think Cthulhu meets 1920’s Appalachia. The writing is top-notch and the setting itself is soooo creepy and full of fantastic hooks and locations to give a good GM ideas for decades. Unfortunately, I see that the hard copy of the book is currently out of stock on the MCG website, but the fully hyperlinked PDF is available!

    The Cypher System itself is a streamlined, fast-playing system for roleplaying that gets the rules out of the way and lets players and GMs focus on telling a damn good story together. I absolutely love this. So many times while reading the core rulebook, I would just slap my forehead and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?!?”. It’s a really great system that fits any genre you can think of.

    So that’s my fave. You owe to yourself to check it out!! :)
