Here is a glimpse of what you’ll find inside.

Under the Heel of Night’s Avenger

This is a Misspent Youth world written by none other than Robert Bohl himself! In this case, your Youthful Offenders are a group of ersatz Batman villains taking on the Night’s Avenger. From Robert: “I had the idea years ago while rewatching Batman: The Animated Series with my son. It occurred to me that in the opening, Batman, a billionaire, is beating the living fuck out of jewel thieves (property criminals). So here’s this unimaginably wealthy guy who’s brutalizing people so that the utterly useless trinkets of the rich are preserved.” This feature contains two fantastic pieces of art by Evan Rowland (one of which is featured below).

Disputationem Maleficarum

This is a Fiasco playset written by Codex’s own Oli Jeffery. In this one, you play attendees of ConClusions, an annual necromancer convention. It was inspired by films such as What We Do in the Shadows, and contains plenty of black humor and social commentary. It features a whimsical/creepy illustration by Evlyn M.

The Big H

This is an original story game by Joshua Fox It’s about a superhero, the Big H, who pursues high ideals, but eventually falls from grace and uses their power to impose their will on the world. The players portray lesser heroes who used to look up to the Big H, but who now have to fight back against the Big H’s corrupt rule. It’s a fantastic little game, and I’m delighted it is making its debut in Codex. It features two pieces of striking art by Jesse Ross, one of which can be seen below.

Gauntlet Daddies #002

This month we get to meet the sexy necromancer, Boner! Boner was illustrated by the wonderful Fabrissou

Three dozen abandoned locations

A collection of derelict buildings, abandoned ships, and lost histories; a miscellany forgotten by the world.

Codex – Decay features cover art by Claudia Cangini (which can be seen below). Editing is done by myself and David LaFreniere. Layout is by Oli Jeffery.

  3. I feel like you and I must have been drinking from the same well here, Robert Bohl – very cool that we’ve both come up with something in this vein, and yet so different. Definitely made me want to break out MY.

  5. Yeah it’s a really cool coincidence. You could play the same world in two different games, having the junior heroes and the villains unite to stop him.

  7. I kind of want to write an entire campaign setting stuffed with oppressive superheroes, and you’re trying to fight them. Like a mirror universe Justice League, maybe. (And they all have pointy beards, also.)
