Project Update: Stretch Goal PDFs and POD codes now available

Just a short update to let everyone know that last Wednesday June 5th we released the codes for the PDF of Codex of Worlds: Apocrypha on DriveThruRPG as well as the at-cost Print On Demand versions of Apocrypha.

This title collects all the stretch goal material funded by the campaign and caps off our effort here.

You can access these codes at https://codexofworlds.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards or by logging in to your pledge management survey at https://codexofworlds.backerkit.com

We want to thank you for your patience. The POD version had a very minor error in the positioning of the cover but due to the turnaround of re-printing and shipping the corrected version for us to proof, it delayed the release by several weeks.

That’s been fixed and we hope you enjoy the 200+ pages of additional material for Monster of the Week and the Codex of Worlds!

PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: Stretch Goals RELEASED, Campaign Complete! And one more thing...

Great news: The stretch goals for the Codex of Worlds are finished and awaiting you on your BackerKit downloads page right now. There's so much material here, we've given it its own title, Codex of Worlds: Apocrypha!

This massive collection provides over 200 pages of additional content for The Codex of Worlds! And it's all fully illustrated. Inside you'll find: 

  • Six new Team playbooks (The Army of One, Doomed World Exiles, Back to Square One, Monster Revelations, Storied Hunter Lineage, and the Thrill-Seekers)
  • A new Hunter playbook, the Curse-Eater
  • Six additional Mysteries for the setting frameworks found in The Codex of Worlds
  • Rules for crafting quick (15-30 minute) one-shot Mysteries
  • A framework for prelude adventures. In this funnel-style system, everyday folk strive to survive their first encounter with the supernatural. Those who make it (and most won't!) have the option to go on and become full-fledged Hunters.

We know it's taken some months to get this one across the finish line but we hope you'll agree it was worth the wait. All told, this crowdfunding campaign has funded over 600 pages of new material for Monster of the Week.

You can download Codex of Worlds: Apocrypha directly from the Digital Downloads page of your Pledge Manager:  https://codexofworlds.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards

(If that link doesn't work for you, you can recover your Backer survey here: https://codexofworlds.backerkit.com/sign_in )

Codex of Worlds: Apocrypha delivers the last of our stretch goals and marks the complete fulfillment of this campaign. Thank you for your support and patience. There's a wealth of material here to take your Monster of the Week game to new genres and new planes. We hope you (and your players) enjoy the ride!
Includes Backer-Exclusive Content

Project Update: Shipping COMPLETE, Stretch goal(s) update plus: Our next project

Hello Hunters, Keepers, Monsters, and Mystery Lovers!

It's safe to say that shipping for Codex of Worlds is complete. Most packages went out by the end of July. If you ordered a physical book as part of the campaign and did not get it, contact us at [email protected] and we'll work to get it sorted.

If you are looking for the PDF, visit https://codexofworlds.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards to log in and download your files.

Stretch Goal Update
The stretch goal material is written and edited! We're now sourcing art so we can finalize the layout. Reminder that all the stretch goals will be delivered as a PDF - they're not in your book. Good news is that the bonus material will be available as a print-on-demand offering through DriveThruRPG. We'll have a more specific delivery timeline for you once we get closer to the end of the layout process.

Our Next Crowdfunding Effort: Deathmatch Island

Congratulations. You have been selected to participate in Deathmatch Island. Winning will mean fame, freedom, and unlimited wealth. You may be experiencing some confusion and memory loss. This is normal following the Selection and Recruitment Process. It is important that you do not panic.

Deathmatch Island is a fast-paced roleplaying game about a deadly gameshow on a chain of mysterious islands. If you're a fan of Squid Game, Severance, Battle Royale, Control, or messed up Reality TV, you're going to enjoy Deathmatch Island.

Designer Tim Denee puts a striking spin on the PARAGON game engine in this fast, flexible RPG that explores corporate dystopia, paranoia as a tool of control, and competitive survival as entertainment.

Crowdfunding begins on October 17th. Reserve your place on ISLAND ONE now.
