Brian S. Stephan 281a0acbe1
remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references
these are things that are not included in the core commons version
because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity
that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on. most of
Old Gus's and the community's content is removed in order to have a
near-CSRD state

what remains is the rules clarifications, errata, splicing together some
information from secondary sources (like the Starter Set or from game
authors on Twitter), and organizational assists

things removed includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my
own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying
verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't
need to advocate for a different one

stuff that's likely to get folded into my core is arbitrarily numbered
300s instead of 000s

-In the Cypher System, discovering things isn't just for players. Thankfully, the game provides us some quick and easy
-ways to try anything once, especially where the PCs are concerned. If you've come up with the idea for an ability, or a
-player wants to try out a special customization for their PC, try it as a [cypher](#choose-cyphers) first! For example,
-let's say a player wants to try out focus abilities beyond their current tier. You could create a cypher that lets them
-do exactly that---for one day.

-The cypher's effects can\'t last more than one session, but might give you a good basis on which to judge how
-dangerous, delightful, or disruptive it might be. If you'd like to continue playing with things, refine your cypher
-into an artifact. If you're worried something is too powerful, you can also add balancing factors:

-- **Effect:** For the next day, you gain a number of type or focus abilities available to your tier or one higher. The
- number of abilities you choose is equal to the cypher level. The abilities you gain are slightly unstable, and any

-
-By the time the artifact depletes, you'll be in a better position to assign an [initial cost](#rules-initial-cost) for
-it as a [special ability](#choose-abilities), or to decide if the PC can [revive](#optional-rule-reviving-artifacts) the
-artifact, or make its effects permanent by [spending XP](#choose-xp).
