Cypher System
The Cypher System, from Monte Cook Games, has become my favorite general purpose system, and perhaps one of my favorite systems overall. It is a lightweight "rulings over rules" system with only a couple core mechanics and a lot of player options, easily adaptable to any setting.
Homebrew and House Rules
Custom content (descriptors, etc.) I've created for games in the Cypher system can be found at this page of homebrew. Additionally, I use the following house rules:
- Optional spellcasting uses pool points, not recovery rolls
- Recovery rolls can be applied in any order
- Weapon properties
Campaigns
On Hold

Making characters is fun, so I've made some scratch characters for the hell of it.
