Cypher Changes

Monte Cook posted a worthwhile article on Substack about the changes to the cyphers in the game. This is a good read. For my modern games, I had no trouble with manifest or subtle cyphers. I would invent drones, special hacking tools, and all sorts of other things to invent to hand out characters in a modern environment.

OG Cypher is easy enough if you apply yourself and use your imagination. I do fear trying to make the game easier for the 5E crowd, to simplify and dumb it down, to reduce the need for imagination and creativity, will make the game lose its elegance and expressiveness.

I have faith though they can do a good job.
