Beyond Cy is a CY_BORG supplement by Christian Eichhorn (christian.eichhorn.dmg@gmail.com), with editing by John Parker (@JohnnyOpie).
The fields. Monoculture deserts of genetically enhanced crops like wheat 4.6, ultra-maize, and soykin. Spliced to perfection. All earth is sterile. Killed by an unhallowed mix of unfiltered UV-radiation and the most potent poisons. Only hard fertilization keeps the masses alive and fed. Traveling through the cultivations is not without peril. Chemships puke their concoctions onto the plants; mechanic harvesters that have never seen an animal or human cut down all in their path.
Beyond CY is a collection of odds and ends to breathe (un)life into the wastelands around Cy. Odd encounters, trash, monsters, adventure, two new classes, new PSALMS [MISERIES], and a set of new hexes.

A collection of 2d10 grim encounters for the Domains of Dread.
A storm gathers. Black clouds tear across the sky, boisterous and violent. They bring lightning flashes, rumbling thunder, and whistling winds. The landscape buckles under the pressure, torn asunder by the assault.

Vampire bites are not the most common bites but are among the most concerning ones. After you notice two puncture marks on your neck, which most often occurs in the morning, you must immediately apply leeches to suck out the vampire spit. Vampirism is transmitted by the vampire’s saliva. The more you can get rid of, the better.
— from “Barovian Home Remedies” by Sorine Hagi

Back in July 2020, we started a project to update all the “old” Fantasy Grounds modules that we had created prior to the Fantasy Grounds Unity release with full Line of Sight (LOS) support. We updated several of the products over the summer, but stalled as current releases took priority.
These are upgrades to existing products that previous purchasers get for free.
We set aside time in February to complete this work and have finally completed the project, updating the products with varying degrees of the following in order of effort:
- Line of Sight functionality
- Custom reference manual
- Update to current standards/norms
- Fix errors and omissions
So why did it take so long? The total effort was:
- 22 products
- 145 hours of work
We hope our customers gain some extra value from the updated modules.
