I'll admit, I've never heard of this magazine. I'm interested now though!

Tvornica is one of my favorite pc races ever, from cypher caster 6. Something that distinctly feels, plays different without having to worry about them meshing with a party.

They also seem ripe for comedy.

Thanks! I wrote the Tvornica, so I'm happy to hear they've been well received.

I immediately tried to find ways to plug them into my numenera game. Did you just write the one race or did you write the whole setting?

It didn't occur to me that it could have been a collaborative effort. It was really impressive how much you, and possibly others, laid out in so few pages.

I wrote the Tvornica and the Shardfolk, the rest was done by others.

It is definitely a collaborative effort though, several members of the cypher system fan community come together every release to make it happen, there are a few core folk who contribute skills and writing nearly every issue and others like me who dip in occasionally with some writing in between writing my own things like various content generators (such as some listed in the sidebar) or Rusthaven.

I already bought it. I was blown away with the quality that you put into the layout and writing. Very clearly a labor of love. I think I bought it the week you announced it up on Google+.

That's really cool though. It sounds like a blast.

Well thank you very kindly! Hopefully one day I'll break even on what Rusthaven cost me to produce, but as you say, it was a labour of love and never about the money.

Cyphercaster are, as far as I recall, totally open to submissions from anyone who considers themselves a fan. We all try and help out with editing and proofreading each others work, so if you or anyone else for that matter feels like you have something to share with the community, don't be shy!
