About the adventure
A simple stone staircase attached to nothing… You and your friends almost missed it as it was a little off the beaten trail you were hiking along. Almost. Something about it caught your eye, tucked back into the tangle of vines and trees as it was. As you approached you could see that the overgrown wilds of the forest had not managed to grow over the staircase. In fact, it remained free of the many vines and thorny branches that reached out to scratch you as you pushed past them to get a closer look. It must have been attached to a building once…long ago. Interesting that only the staircase remains. So…will you climb it? Or will you and your group decide to return home…always wondering what was at the top of those moss covered steps? Rules light, story focused CYPHER will have you up and playing fast. Less time on the mechanics means more time to play. And you’ll need that time as you and your fellow players will have to figure out how to win this strange game…together. 🕺- Create a completely unique and compelling character with ease. 📋- Learn to play within minutes using a single, simple and clear reference sheet. 🔮- Play in one of the strangest and most interesting worlds in TTRPGs today. Come fall in love with Cypher.

About me
Come play pretend with me!!! I was always the one in my playgroup to ask my friends what they wanted to be in our pretend play and then creating the world that all these characters shared and building adventures for us. Little did I know that I was inventing role playing games for them. I grew up and figured that was all kid's stuff. Then I grew up a little more and decided that was ridiculous. Why should kids have all the fun? What are we working so hard for anyway... just to work some more? Come on. My inspiration is a combination of Max from "Where the Wild Things Are", Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet and Miracle Max from the Princess Bride. (Hey, look at that! Two Max's!) Want to escape the world for a little while and play amongst the wild things? I'm a corporate change strategist in the rest of my life. I've learned how to make change not only easy, but engaging in my work. If I can do that with IT projects...just imagine what I can do with something you WANT to do! I run games in 5e...I don't hate it. It's awesome for particular kinds of play. However, my passion is the story, not the mechanics of the game. I prefer systems that use mechanics to support the narrative while giving enough crunch so that my players feel truly heroic. I curate inventive settings, strange worlds and character-driven storylines that make role playing feel organic and easy. I truly love the systems I GM ...I'd like you to love them too. I love creating epic worlds for those who need a break from the mundanity of life. ***Got family and/or friends you miss hanging out with? I got you. ***Need something more novel for your date nights than dinner and a movie? I got you. ***Craving social interaction but also from the comfort of your own place? I got you. ***Have a partner who you wish would play RPGs with you? I've got you. So, Max...shall we have an adventure?

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a Discord account...that's it! Cypher is magnificent to play with only Theater of the Mind, but if we decide we need some visuals, I will send you the link to the appropriate VTT.
What KimPossible brings to the table
I provide my players: • Easy to reference materials you need to build your character and play the game with confidence. • A well-balanced, encounter-rich adventure with enough role-play and connection to make players care about those encounters. • Maps, visual aids and music to provide enough sensory input to get you started, but not so much that your imagination takes a back seat. • Tokens for your characters on the maps to help you know where you are in game play. • Tense and exhilarating situations balanced with humor and casual moments of connection. • A safe and well-paced adventure for those who are new to Role Playing Games. • Game play that prioritizes role playing and story over rules.

How KimPossible creates a safe table
I take this very seriously. This is a light horror game, and it's my job to ensure everyone at my table is comfortable enough to enjoy themselves. Everyone is welcome at my table, except for those who disregard the comfort and needs of others. I have a zero tolerance policy for: • Bigotry or hatred of any kind. • Any behavior that consistently compromises game play or consistently makes other players uncomfortable. Any Player versus Player encounter (combat or romance) will need to be cleared with both players and me prior to advancing in game. I will ask that everyone fill out a Lines and Veils form and submit it to me at least two days prior to game play so that I can adjust any content necessary due to identified issues. My private messaging will remain open during game play and I will be encouraging everyone to message me immediately if anything, whether it is with the story, me or another player, is making them uncomfortable. I will pause game play immediately with a break in order to respond. There are not many content warnings for this game, but if they do come up, I will treat them in a very "off camera" way. I think I have captured the ones on the list below, but please, if we are ever in a place during game play where you feel triggered: - Say or text something in Discord, - Message me in Discord privately, (this can just be the letter X) You will never be asked to explain the reason for your discomfort, only precisely what in the game caused it so that it can be avoided in the future.
