I was wondering if anyone else here would be interested in a Magnus Archives RPG game. It uses the cypher system. It's based on the lore of The Magnus Archives horror podcast and as such as mature themes. You'd be playing investigators into supernatural occurrences.

Preferably I'd be a player but willing to run it if necessary. If I end up running it, I'd start with The Resurrection Mound and into Liquify. Depending on how things go would be willing to go further.

The only issue with me running the game is that I've never run a PbP game before so I'd need a little grace period.

I’m not up for running something like this, but would definitely be interested as a player.

Just here to say that I'm really glad to see more Cypher System getting love here. I ran Old Gods of Appalachia in Gamers Plane and it was a blast. Love the urban horror vibe in Magnus Archives.

Wasn't sure if you were interested in this game specifically or just appreciating the Cypher System but if you are instrested:

Just offering my support. I mean, of course I'm also interested but I'm in more games than most others so I'll pass.
