The dusty, ruined remains of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The black expanse of a hard-SF solar system. The gritty streets of film noir. Wherever your vision takes you, the Cypher System can take your campaign. Building on the genres explored in the Cypher System RulebookExpanded Worlds gives you tailored rules, advice, tropes, and character options for seven setting genres, along with tools you can use to build any campaign you can imagine.

The latest Cypher System rulebook includes some of the settings listed in this book: Post-apocalyptic, fairy tale, and historical. Within the context of those settings, does this book add anything?

I was wondering if the Cypher system still uses the idea of disposable cyphers in the game. In Numenera I could see how that would work in a word as old and with as many previous civilizations but in other genres I don't quite see how that would work or be explained.

cyphers are a part of every cypher system game and are covered in detail in the core rulebook. The Strange has them as bits of the energy network that took on contextual form. In other games made with the cypher system corebook they aren't that hard to put in: superspy gadgets, relics of a monster hunting organization, alien technology, magic potions and scrolls, ect. It may require a bit more work to make sure they suit a particular genre (having them only get given out at the start of a game when the heroes get equipped by their organization, fudging some results that would be baffling in your current setting and so on) but they are an easy mechanic to integrate into the game and generally a worthwile one as it means the players always find some new toys

I don't see Fantasy listed as one of the genres. I'm guessing Mythological and Fairy Tale could cover some of that. Anyone know if Fantasy is expanded with this supplement?

This book covers genres not in the corebook. Fantasy, Modern, Sci-Fi, Horror and Superheroes genres are covered in the core rulebook.

Edit: That being said there are descriptors and foci that could be used in a fantasy game.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
