Cypher is in Overtime Mode--that keeps the campaign going so long as there's no gap between backers of longer than 10 minutes. So long as someone backs within 10 minutes of the previous backer, it'll go on forever!

Exciting for a campaign that's in spitting distance of a million bucks! Pls share!

Monte Cook Games @montecookgames.com · 12d

WE'RE IN OVERTIME!

As long as the Backertrain is chugging along, Cypher is STILL LIVE! Join over 5,000 people to bring Cypher to life!

How long will overtime last?? That's entirely up to you! It's been HOURS on our last campaigns! Choo choo 🚂🚂🚂

We just broke the $900K mark—meaning the Cypher campaign is 900% FUNDED!

Can we get to 1000% funded? $1M is a LOT, but we're already so close! With every pledge, share, retweet, and like, we inch closer and closer to that magic number...
