I’d like to do some crowdsourcing for the Miscellany in Codex – Time. The piece is called “Three Dozen In Media Res Starters.” Submissions should be a single sentence or 2-3 very short sentences. By submitting here, you’re agreeing to let us use it (you’ll get a credit on the issue).
In media res is Latin for “into the middle of things.” It is normally used to describe when a narrative begins in the middle of the action. In a roleplaying game context, it usually means we first encounter the player characters in the middle of a fight.
We’re looking for short, evocative scene prompts to get the action going. Importantly, we’d like to see tense, dramatic situations that aren’t necessarily related to violence. If they do have a connection to violence, we’d like for there to at least be something particularly interesting or unique about the scene.
Here are some examples:
“The characters are assembled around the bed of their dying mentor, who has just whispered a terrible secret to one of them.”
“The survivors are running through pitch-black woods, the howling of beasts somewhere behind them.”
“The investigators are sitting around a table draped with a red velvet cloth, holding hands with the person to their left and right. Madame Voltier, writhing in her seat, her body possessed by some terrible demon, has just uttered a warning to them.”
EDIT: Thanks to Christo Meid for this idea.
Someone in the party pulls the last switch on the Girragoc Machine and now the interdimensional portal is open. Half needs to go through and find the Cosmic Egg, while the others must hold the line against trespassing beings. General Hopferl and his band of brothers will back you up, probably?

You are all bustled or even physical thrown out the door by the unfeasibly large troll in a perfectly fitted suit “Mr Red will only ask this once and this nicely, get it, come back here and you get to see morning” he rumbles before slamming the sturdy grey door behind him, leaving you dishevelled in the alleyway with a job to do and not much time.

An anemic light is thrown on damp cobblestones before you. A dense fog rolls out slowly in the distance, creeping forward and enveloping the town building by building. One by one the lights in the distance extinguish as the fog encroaches until it threatens to overtake everything in its path, you included.

One by one the holograms flicker and disappear…along with the lights in the room.

Thread necromancy! I wanted to let everyone know we are currently raising money on KS to print a big, beautiful hardcover book collecting the first 13 issues of Codex. We’re doing a single print run of this book, and when those are all gone, that’s it! Many of you in this thread have miscellany submissions that made it into one of those early issues, and so you might be interested in getting a copy of the book for yourself. Of particular note is a discounted $35 pledge tier, which is perfect if you don’t care about getting the PDFs.
Even if you’re not interested in getting a copy of the book for yourself, it would be super lovely (and helpful!) if you would share the campaign in your circles.
As it turns out, I can’t actually share a link to the project in this comment because G+ flags such KS links as spam, but if you just go to Kickstarter and search “Codex” it pops right up, or search “Codex RPG” in Google.
Thanks!
