WHAT IS THE CHAOS UNCOVERED SAGA?

The Chaos Uncovered Saga is a connected series of three urban-fantasy adventures written for the newest edition of the Cypher System. Each adventure can be played independently or combined into an escalating campaign of mystery, consequence, and creeping dread.

The story begins with The Hands of Chaos, when a public kidnapping exposes rival fortune hunters, Rat-kin thieves, and something stirring beneath the city streets. The fallout continues in The Eyes of Raja, as competing factions search for power among forbidden relics and buried secrets. Meanwhile, Cult of the Rat Lord descends into the undercity, where fractured Rat-kin warrens, violent cult cells, and misused technomantic relics threaten to awaken something ancient.

At the center of the saga is the City With No Name, a living urban setting of crowded markets, sacred districts, decaying neighborhoods, and forgotten infrastructure built over an ancient undercity. It can be used as a complete setting or easily adapted to a GM’s existing campaign world.

Each adventure emphasizes player-driven investigation, morally complicated factions, meaningful choices, and consequences that carry forward. What begins as street-level trouble gradually grows into a struggle for the future of the entire city.

The Chaos Uncovered Saga is built to adapt to your world…not replace it.

WHAT’S INSIDE?

Each volume of the Chaos Uncovered Saga is a complete, play-ready adventure designed for flexible use at the table. Run them independently as short story arcs or connect all three into an escalating urban-fantasy campaign.

Each adventure includes:

  • 2–4 sessions of play, depending on pacing and player choices

  • Clear scene breakdowns and practical GM guidance

  • Multiple investigative paths and branching outcomes

  • Factions with competing motives and evolving reactions

  • Distinct locations above and beneath the City

  • Modular scenes, strong narrative hooks, and scaling guidance

  • Tools for improvisation, escalation, and lasting consequences

From crowded markets and dangerous faction politics to sewer warrens, forgotten ossuaries, and hidden cult sanctums, every adventure gives players meaningful choices and multiple ways to uncover the truth.

Human-Crafted Art

Artwork in the Chaos Uncovered Saga was created by real artists and carefully selected to reinforce the setting’s atmosphere, characters, and hidden horrors. Featured artists include Alec Adams, Daniel Comerci, Dean Spencer, Eric Pommer, Henrik Karppinen, Rick Hershey, and Shade Shaper.

The Chaos Uncovered Saga is more than a collection of adventures; it is a flexible toolkit for telling tense, player-driven urban-fantasy stories that grow darker the deeper the characters go.

THE TEAM

The Chaos Uncovered Saga is a deeply personal project created by a small team of family members, collaborators, artists, and players who share a commitment to strong storytelling, smooth play, and adventures that respect the table.

Writing & Creative Direction

The saga is written and directed by Nick Palmer, with an emphasis on modular adventure design, urban-fantasy atmosphere, player-driven investigation, and meaningful consequences.

Editing, Layout & Development

Additional editing, layout, and development support was provided by Rene Palmer, Quint Palmer, Samantha Palmer, Melissa Pisanie, and Chip Shain. Their work helped make the adventures clear, practical, and enjoyable to use in both digital and printed formats.
