WIP Documentation
The Cypher System is the RPG system used in Monte Cook Games Numenera and The Strange. This wiki page will walk through how to setup and play a Roll20 campaign for any of these systems.

Creating a Campaign
WIP
Cypher System Character Sheets
If you're creating a campaign from scratch, you'll want to choose either the Numenera or The Strange character sheet either when you first create the Campaign OR later on when you're on the Campaign Settings Page that you can access from the Campaign's Details Page. These pages are accessed when you're not inside playing your campaign, but when you're viewing your campaign list.
There are two character sheets available for Numenera. One in English and another translated over in French. There is one character sheet available for The Strange presently in English only.
Every time you create a new character in the Journal tab on the Sidebar, the character journal's character sheet is available on the second tab.
 | Note: Players can only view and edit their own character sheet if the GM adds the player in the Can Be Edited & Controlled By section. |
The Strange and Managing Recursions
WIP
Running a Purchased Module
At default, the Blank Campaign will be selected. Simply click on the module you would like run to have that checked off instead. This auto selects the character sheet for you too. Create a name for your Campaign, add Tag keywords if you wish and then click on the I'm Ready, Create Campaign! button. Your chosen module will load up automatically.
Inviting Your Friends Or Find Players
WIP
Assigning Tokens and Characters to Players
Rolling for Difficulty
If a user has 3D Dice activated in My Settings, a 3D d20 will roll across the Tabletop. Regardless if 3D Dice are used or not, the roll's result will be displayed in the Chat Tab.
Experience Points
| Note: You may need to shuffle the card deck before you're able to draw from it. |
When players are given cards, a thumbnail of the back of the card appears above their portrait and if it is set to do so, will also show you the number of how many cards they currently hold. If they wish to give a token to the GM they first click on the thumbnail above their own portrait to open up their hand. Then they grab a token there and drag it to the GM's portrait. This brings up a trade window that the GM can either accept or deny. They can also drag the token to the tabletop and the GM can pick it up it that way too by right clicking on it and selecting Take Card.
The GM can also manage many other features of the card deck like player permission to draw from the deck, see the deck, etc. For a robust list of all Card Deck features check out our wiki page on Card Decks and Rollable Tables.
