New One-Shot Adventures For Your Cypher System Games!

Cypher Shorts are special one-shot adventures designed for single sessions of three to four hours. Using a simplified character creation process and streamlined setup, Cypher Shorts are perfect for situations where: 

  • the entire gaming group isn’t available
  • the group wants to experiment with a new genre
  • someone new wants to act as GM for a session
  • when the GM or PCs need a palate cleanser before resuming the normal campaign

The following Cypher Shorts are setting agnostic, although the GM is encouraged to tailor where these scenarios take place as they wish, and can be used as standalone one-shots or as low-prep inspiration for sessions in an ongoing campaign. The character creation guidelines for Cypher Shorts are provided later in this supplement, but existing characters can be used if the group prefers and the GM is comfortable. 

Cypher Shorts are a supplement for the Cypher System and require an Underground Oracle Publishing setting ($3 on our Patreon), the free Cypher System Rules Primer or the Cypher System Rulebook to play.

This Volume of Cypher Shorts Includes:

  • Bounty on Junker 12: The characters are a group of bounty hunters that have finally tracked down their elusive target on a refuse-processing planet known as Junker 12. Can they survive the hazards of the waste planet long enough to capture their evasive quarry?
  • Mall Rats: The characters have just pulled off their first big heist, but things didn’t go exactly as planned and the cops are right on their tails! Can they lose them in Arexis City’s sprawling Neon Center Mall or will their high-speed chase end in tears and time behind bars?
  • Tough Salvage: The characters are part of a salvage company sent out to reclaim scrap and data from the remains of a commercial liner that crashed on a remote planet. But when their discoveries—and an unexpected group of survivors—conflict with the data that they’ve been given, they’ll be forced to make some tough choices.
  • Cypher Shorts Guidelines: The simplified rules that you need to run and create characters for your Cypher Shorts.

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
