Cyphers are minor devices that “break the rules” of the realm into which they are carried, creating powerful but usually single-use effects. They come and go frequently, in a The Strange campaign. This deck of 120 full-color cards allows GMs and players to skip the tables and die-rolls and quickly generate random cyphers on the fly.
