      It's more of a comparison and introduction from people who exclusively play d&d to another gaming system. In the past, I've exclusively made d&d content so this was for people who don't have experience with other systems and are curious because many d&d players have never tried other systems and don't know what to expect. You don't have to like me or my videos, but you also don't have to make snide comments.

    I think Cypher has the same issue as LEGO: a lot of the fun is building the thing and not playing with the thing you built because it is quite fragile. I like it for shorter games, but the character advancement tends to outpace opposition because of the bounded number system and reliance on attrition. Cyphers themselves also kind of stretch the imagination at certain settings too: they work for Numunera where they are things that no one knows how they work and are basically magic, but makes no sense in a modern setting or Sci fi setting where there is nor a good reason why I cannot just refuel my jet pack or recharge my teleporter. The cyphers make it too focused on a specific magic system to be universally applicable to any setting or genre. Much like Everyday Heroes made a great attempt at making 5e a general system, it works in a very specific scope but you start to feel the limits once you get past that mechanical limit. It is also a steeper investment, but the appeal is building the space ship out of LEGO after all.

    • @JamesMillsNeutralBase
      @JamesMillsNeutralBase 2 месяца назад

      In my modern game, most of the physical cyphers I gave my players were akin to spy gadgets. Single use bombs, laser pens, invisibility spray, and so on.

    • @rynowatcher
      @rynowatcher 2 месяца назад

      @@JamesMillsNeutralBase bombs make sense, but are also mundane gear in the Cypher System rules. I run into the same issue of "why cannot I recharge my laser pen" with a limited use case. If you are bringing in "invisibility spray" we are in full fantasy zone and it might as well be a spell. One of my favorite games for Cypher was an urban fantasy modern game, but it does not work as well for sci-fi or realism, in my experiance. The reliance on attrition is also a problem; cannot go for an Indiana Jones style close, nail biter fight with the giant nazi and then be expected to do anything else cool the rest of the day. Something like Pathfinder where each fight is meant to be challenging the player on a per fight basis with quick recovery after fights is more suited for swing action versus ramping up action. For what it is worth I have had some very fun Cypher games; I just think that once you get out of that sweet zone you drop off quickly as far as how well it works.

    • @JamesMillsNeutralBase
      @JamesMillsNeutralBase 2 месяца назад

      @rynowatcher definitely fair. I won't argue or say that I think Cypher is the perfect system for everyone. But I've been running it for a few years with a couple playgroups, as well as a few oneshots at a local high-school kids game con. Anytime a player likes a cypher, I will let them recharge it either at the cost of 1 XP or letting them get the same one from a new hoard (if it makes sense).

      @@JamesMillsNeutralBase I think Cypher has its uses; I have enjoyed games of it. I just have felt the limitations inherent in it in some games. Old God's of Appolacha is a really good "folktale fantasy." That one is a favorite of mine.

    Weight distribution is important to dice. Spin down dice have all the high double figured numbers together. So unless the number cutouts are backfilled with a colored resin to match the weight that was removed to make the number, then one end of the dice with the single low numbers will be heavier than the end with the high numbers. An unfilled dice like that will on average roll high numbers because the heavier low numbers will end up at the bottom.

    I can’t figure out how to justify 70$ for the 1985 dice. I buy sets all the time because for the past 8 or 9 years I’ve given them to my wife and kids as stocking stuffers and I give a set to the players in my group at Christmas and occasionally when I have a bunch stacked up. My favorite place to buy from is Kraken, they have liquid core, Hollow, resin, aluminum, mini, oversized, wood, metal, pretty much whatever you want. They have sales several times a year where I buy a bulk order, last year I made an order of around 200$ and I’m pretty sure it was 11 sets of dice, 2 Hollow metal, a cast iron set another metal set, an aluminum set, a rubber duck set, 3 random sets, a glow in the dark set, a resin set as well as 3 oversized d20s of various material, 4 minis, a coaster, a keychain, several dice bags. The metal sets are 8 piece sets (they have a d2) the non metal sets were all 12 piece, they come with d6x4 and d20x2 and a d2.

      Some dice sets come with a couple extra D6 but I think that it's just standard that all dice come with 1 of each of the standard. Personally, I'd prefer 2 of each (except percentile) and 4 D6s. That would fit most games imo but would increase the price 🤷🏼‍♂️
