The new issue of Codex is out, featuring a playbook I wrote called The Kawaii!!!, in case you badly needed a BABYMETAL/Apocalypse World mashup, which, of course you do.

(Yes, there is a move called Gimme Chocolate)

Codex – Joy is now available!

We have just launched the first issue of Codex Volume 2, which means there is no better time to check out our zine! Here is a breakdown of what you will find in Codex – Joy:

Bunk Beds

Codex has become a great place for intensely creative, short-form LARPs, and Joy continues that tradition with this game by Adam McConnaughey. It’s about kids having a sleepover, whispering in the dark about their lives, and scaring each other with “true” stories of the supernatural. Occasionally, one of them falls silent. It features whimsically creepy art by Evan Rowland.

So You’re Becoming a Dragon

This short LARP by Wendy Gorman was one of my favorite entries from the 200 Word RPG Challenge. It’s about a young tenderwing consulting with a dragon about making the transition to adulthood. Puberty and dragons, together at last! It features an adorable illustration by Emily Griggs.

The Kawaii!!!

The Kawaii!!! is a new playbook for Apocalypse World, based on the real-life Japanese band, Babymetal. The Kawaii!!! is all about having fun, eating candy, and rocking out! This playbook was written by Oli Jeffery and features art by Jesse Ross.

Seven Celebrations

This is an extended Dungeon World feature that contains seven festivals and fetes for you to drop into your game. The celebrations include: The Festival of Ma’ayahla by David LaFreniere, My Big Fat Ork Wedding by Paul Edson, The Becoming by Logan Howard, The Feast of Fools by Kate Bullock, The Day of Stories and the Crowning of the Teller by Daniel Fowler, The Mountain’s Dream by Lowell Francis and The Last Vintage Before the Long Winter by Slade Stolar. It features art by Claudia Cangini and Vandel J. Arden (Vandel’s art can be seen in the cover image below).

Gauntlet Daddies #001

In which we are introduced to the glorious, full-color Gauntlet Daddy, including helpful (and sexy) biographical information. Gauntlet Daddy was illustrated by Fabrissou.

Three Dozen Attractions at the Carnival of Dreams

This months’s dreamy, wondrous, frightening miscellany takes its inspiration from books like Something Wicked This Way Comes and The Night Circus, and TV shows like Carnivale and American Horror Story: Freak Show.

This month’s cover illustration was by Vandel J. Arden. The excellent layout was by Oli Jeffery. Editing was by myself and David LaFreniere.

  1. Francisco Blanca You can’t, I’m afraid. But there’s a bunch of other fabulous stuff in there for your $4, and if you only want to be a patron for one month, you can be. That said, Gauntlet Con is opening to early booking for patrons on the 8th, so there’s another reason to sign up…
