The Origin is a campaign book for Cypher System by Bruce R. Cordell, published by Monte Cook Games. It provides a modern superhero setting where recent events have led to the sudden appearance of metahumans with supernatural abilities.Note: the campaign as provided is built around the idea that the players are discovering the changed setting at the same time as their characters. Because so much of the setting information would be considered spoilers:ALL SPOILERS ARE UNMARKED AND BEGIN IMMEDIATELY BELOW.In 2020, an interstellar object was detected crossing the solar system. It was captured by the sun and entered a highly-eccentric orbit; it was jokingly given the name 'Nibiru' after a mythical Planet X that was supposed to have collided with Earth in 2003. As nothing else interesting happened with it, and it was the second uninteresting interstellar object in 3 years, what little attention it got from the news cycle faded quickly.Except that, for some unclear reason, some people remembered it differently. They remembered Nibiru suddenly breaking out of its orbit and making a beeline for Earth as it if had engines. They remember it crashing into Earth and destroying everything. And, somehow, they remember these things even while still living on Earth, which has not been destroyed.Two years ago, when this supposedly happened, a number of people remembered it then. Since then, people have continued to have the memory arise - by now, just a handful of people every day.Every person who remembers this gains metahuman abilities of some sort. Some of them die testing out their new abilities. Some choose to ignore it and pretend it isn't there. Some become heroes, or villains.The existence of metahuman abilities is not publicly known and is considered to be the province of conspiracy theorists and cheap tabloids. | |
