A little art appreciation for your feed. Tiffany Turrill's work in Predation is top-tier.
-
Incredible illustration by Lie Setiawan, from Predation. MCG's artists never miss.

Focus: Turns Decay To Growth
You're comfortable with decomposition: the bacteria and fungi that break down organic material are living creatures, and you coax magic from the interplay of life and death.
Tier 1 gain Spore Cloud: You throw a handful of mushrooms that speed toward a target within long range.
Tier 5 gain Insect Eruption: You call a swarm of insects in a place where it is possible for insects to appear. -
Descriptor: Brash
You're a self-assertive sort, confident in your abilities, energetic, and perhaps a bit irreverent toward ideas that you don't agree with.
Energetic: +2 to your Speed Pool.
Skill: You are trained in initiative. -
MCG publishes some of the best art in the TTRPG space. Here's a favourite — Nino Vecia from We Are All Mad Here.

Ganza Gaming has a nice Cypher content bundle worth a look.

Take a moment to appreciate this beautiful piece by Mirco Paganessi from We Are All Mad Here.
-
Focus: Metes Out Justice
You right wrongs, protect the innocent, and punish the guilty.
Tier 1 gain Make Judgment: You are trained in discerning the truth of a situation, seeing through lies, or otherwise overcoming deception.
Tier 6 gain Inspire The Innocent: You speak words of encouragement and inspiration to everyone within immediate range whom you have designated as innocent with your Designation ability. -
Descriptor: Craven
Courage fails you at every turn.
Inability: You fall to pieces when you have to undertake a potentially dangerous task alone. Any such task (such as attacking a creature by yourself) is hindered.
Inability: You do not willingly enter dangerous situations. Any initiative actions (to determine who goes first in combat) are hindered. -
Of course, the biggest change in Cypher system 2.0 is that wounds have been broken out to be separate from the stat pools. Since people could not wrap their minds around using your abilities, did not actually hurt you. Despite the fact that damage came from the same pool that you powered your strength based abilities from. (Edge!)

I love the art in MCG's books. This piece by Mirco Paganessi from We Are All Mad Here is a great example of why.
-
The descriptors have been streamlined, and the list is much shorter. All of the negative ones have been removed. So clumsy, for example, is gone.
All of the remaining ones follow the same basic format. A minor stat boost and a choice of training in one or the other of two skills. -
I’m really digging some of the art in the players guide. And there is a lot of it!
I do not like how the foci use flowcharts now to map out the tier abilities. I’m willing to bet that screen readers do not handle that well. I believe that old Gus is on this in his update of the formatted SSRD.
-
Time to review some of the changes in Cypher 2.0. I’m liking what I am seeing so far. The changes do make the system slightly more fiddly. But to me, that is a good thing.
I have a strong system mastery (gamest) side. :) -
Focus: Made A Deal With Death
Death eternally walks the world, touching those who pass by, but few notice this ever-changing figure.
Tier 5 gain Hard To Kill: You can choose to reroll any defense task you make but never more than once per round.
Tier 6 gain Duel To The Death: Choose a target (a single individual creature that you can see). -
Descriptor: Wily
You're a real sly dog if ever there was one.
Inability: You pay a little too much attention, even to things you shouldn't. Your Intellect defense rolls are hindered.
Additional Equipment: You acquired an item another PC lost and thinks is gone for good. Now you have an additional expensive item, assuming you don't choose to give it back to the PC who lost it. -

Descriptor: Risk Taking
It's part of your nature to question what others think can't or shouldn't be done.
Skill: You're adept at leveraging risk, and you are trained in tasks that involve some element of chance, such as playing games or choosing between two or three apparently equal options.
Nimble: +4 to your Speed Pool. -

-
Descriptor: Perceptive
You miss little.
Skill: You have an eye for detail. You are trained in any task that involves finding or noticing small details.
Inability: Your confidence comes off as arrogance to people who don't know you. Any task involving positive social interactions is hindered. -
