Game

Setting

The Strange is set in modern-day Earth but allows a GM to take their stories through many different "recursions", worlds based frequently on literary creations.

Game mechanics

The Strange uses the Cypher System originally developed for Numenera, which is played primarily using a d20. The GM sets the initial difficulty and will relay that to the player prior to the roll to help them determine their course of action. The player may decide to "effort" to lower the level of difficulty prior to the roll.
