Happy Easter, folks!

The Big Bunny has hopped in and dropped Cypher Shorts: Post-Apocalypse Shorts Vol. 2 into your baskets instead of the latest nightmarish peeps flavor. 

Like our previous volume, this one contains three incredibly different post-apocalyptic backdrops for your PCs to frolic through, assuming they can muster the strength to do so through hip-deep garbage, wrecked civilization, or desert wastelands. 

If you're a member of the Sage or higher tier, use promo code 'DREG_WORM' to grab your free copy from the UO store below. (This code will expire when the next volume of shorts drops.)

Read more about what's inside below and then head over and grab your copy at the links.

This Volume of Cypher Shorts Includes:

• Flaring to Life: In a recently fallen world, the PCs are struggling to survive in the aftermath of a solar flare that wiped out the world’s technology and information. Somewhere to the north, a tower has blinked to life and is broadcasting a signal that might change the PCs' future—if they can reach it.
• Kill The Messenger: In a desert world, the players have carved a safe place for themselves from the unforgivable landscape. But a scout from a warlord’s army threatens to reveal their location and bring it all tumbling down. Can the players do what must be done to save the people depending on them?
• The Refuse Left Behind:  In a waste-filled world, the air is thick with smog, the rain too acidic for life, and the oceans caked in trash. But the rumors of a place with trees and clean air have given the characters something to fight for. If they can find it.
• Cypher Shorts Guidelines: The simplified rules that you need to run and create characters for your Cypher Shorts.

Happy Friday, fine folk of The Underground!

The results are in and it looks like Dark Supers won our poll by hair. 

That means that after we drop Post-Apocalypse Shorts Vol. 2 and 3, we'll be exploring the dark supers genre with all of you!

What can you expect from Dark Supers? 

The dark supers subgenre explores the more mystical, eldritch, and horror-tinged corners of the wider superhero genre. For a preview of what you can expect from the upcoming genre cycle, you can look to comics like Hellboy, Constantine, Dark Justice, Doctor Strange, or the Nocturnals. 

(You might even see an appearance from a certain Cursed Anti-Hero Bound To Shalhain.)

What will our next Cypher Shorts cycle be? That's totally up to you!

Respond below with the genre that you'd like us to cover in our next cycle and we'll include it in a poll for our Sage and up members to vote on. Fairy Tale? Romance? Modern? More Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or Horror?

The choice is in our members' hands, so feel free to get weird with it and drop your suggestions below!

This Volume of Cypher Shorts Includes:

• Doomsday Dinos: In a land before time, the players are dinosaurs struggling to eke out one more day as their chapter in the history of Earth closes. Now they’ve been forced together in a scramble to the last place of respite in the growing cold darkness. Cooperation is the only way they may make it to the Safe Place, but will their base instincts betray them as the inevitable approaches?
• Seeds of Hope: In a lush overgrown world, the players are wardens of the Aegis—a massive tree that staves off the ferocious creatures that usurped mankind as rulers of Earth. When it unexpectedly provides a gift that may never be repeated, can the PCs ensure its legacy (and theirs) in a world that has long since left humanity behind?
• Where Every Dream Comes True®:  In a post-irradiated world, the players unexpectedly find themselves in the subterranean ruins of what used to be called the “most wondrous place on the planet”. Can they survive the terrifying new inhabitants that roam the theme park's labyrinthian underground and make it back to the surface?
• Cypher Shorts Guidelines: The simplified rules that you need to run and create characters for your Cypher Shorts.
