Shadewalker | MtG Inspired | Cypher Try-It-Out

About the adventure

Dominaria is a plane filled with magic and technological artifacts left over from bygone civilizations. In this one shot your characters will explore one such marvel, a town built underneath a massive construct. Explore the town, go on an important quest, fight or negotiate your way through encounters, and discover the secrets of the Shadewalker. This game uses the newly updated rules for Cypher by Monte Cook Games. It is an easy to learn system where players control their own fate (the GM never rolls a die) and narrative roleplay is encouraged over crunchy tactical combat. For fans of the Cypher System, this will be a fun introduction to the new update. It has a new wound system that replaces stat pool damage (though some attacks still damage pools like poison). There's some other changes and tweaks here and there that speed up play. But much of the core of the game has stayed the same. I'm really excited to run it. You do not need any books or knowledge to play this one shot. We will be using pre generated characters managed in the MCG character creator site. I will go over how to play and have a brief conversation about table safety and my table expectations. I've been running games in various systems for over a decade at this point and I'm stoked to try this one out. Come explore a world rich in lore, solve problems, survive, and fight (if necessary).
