MONTE COOK GAMES

Monte Cook Games specializes in unique and imaginative tabletop roleplaying games. Our games—Numenera, The Strange, the Cypher System Rulebook, and No Thank You, Evil!—are built on groundbreaking concepts, feature breathtaking art and stunning production values, and are driven by the Cypher System, a set of game mechanics that are flexible, easy to use, and focus on narrative.


Our core values at MCG have always included acceptance and inclusion. In our products, in the events we support, and in the gaming spaces we strive to create, we welcome people from all walks of life, all genders and orientations, all religions and cultures, and all ethnicities. We support the civil liberties of all people, and manifest that support in our own small way: through the fun and imagination of games. But now we find that we must add to those core values. We must add truth.

Although fantasy is our business, we recognize that we can’t be good stewards of that business if we make decisions based on fantasy. Our employees, our families, our Kickstarter backers, our fans, and our future all depend on vision and aspiration built upon a foundation of fact. To this end, we look to leadership that bases its decisions on facts and the sharing of information, and if that leadership is not available, we will step up our efforts to champion the cause ourselves. To deliver the products we promise, and continue to be true to our core values, we can’t tolerate playing fast and loose with reality. We will do our best to promote acceptance, inclusion, and truth in all aspects of our business, and we will work for these values in our community.
