The Ancient Albatross is flying solo! For this video, Ancient had the pleasure of going over the latest news about the new Cypher edition! This time, the information comes out of an article from Monte Cook's Substack; RPG Design Theories!

The article, titled "It's Right There in the Name", goes over cyphers and how he plans to approach them in the new books. We didn't get a ton of specific details, but we did get a glimpse into how Monte himself views cyphers and how he plans to approach their placement in the new edition.

What do you think of the details mentioned for cyphers in the new edition? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks for watching!
