This is a game system for the Cypher System family of games (Cypher System, Numenera, The Strange, Predation, Unmasked, Gods of the Fall, Vurt, Shotguns & Sorcery) by Monte Cook Games and others.
At its core, this system is just a rather simple digital character sheet. Included are dice macros for the usual rolls in Cypher games. Macros allow for customization of the macro bar and even customization of the macros themselves to use the Cypher system exactly like you need. This allows players and GMs to use any rules interpretation and house rule they could use at a physical table. If you can do it at the table, you can do it with this system! In addition, a pre-made tabletop scene and some tokens that can be used as markers are included in the system, so that your game is ready in a few minutes.

The Cypher SRD Compendium contains all the content from the Cypher System Reference Document.
The Cypher System Community Content module adds fan-made material you can use in your game. It also includes example PCs which showcase how to use different features of the system, which is a great way to learn it.
Install these modules only if you specifically need the functionality provided by these modules. I recommend playing a few times without them to see if there’s something missing for you.
The only modules I recommend if you are using tokens and maps are Bar Brawl and Drag Ruler. But even those are by no means essential.
These modules have been written specifically to expand the functionality of the Cypher System.
These modules come pre-configured with Cypher-specific functionality.
The Cypher FVTT Dev Discord is where the development of the system is coordinated and its future discussed, but anyone is welcome to join and share best practices, ask questions on how to use the system, and share self-created resources for your games.
You can also reach me on the official Foundry Discord or via Discord DM: @mrkwnzl#7407.
You can ask questions, file bug reports, and request features on GitHub. If you want to contribute code to the system directly, please refer to the Contribution Guidelines before you do.
If the Cypher System for Foundry VTT makes your games more accessible and fun, I’m grateful for a coffee:
