Many people have been asking about Codex back issues. Well, I’m excited to say that moment has come!

We’re kicking off with Codex – Chrome, currently available for Pay What You Want on DriveThru!

Friday Dreams

I have rolled 2d6 + CHA and the result was ‘7,’ so that’s seven dreams to pass out this week…

A dream to Gerrit Reininghaus for his portrayal of Julia the Wyrm in Mercy Falls ’83, a fascinating character who is managing to match (and even surpass) my legendary Mercy Falls rogues gallery in pure villainy.

Another Mercy Falls ’83 dream to Philipp Neitzel, who let me go there with his Hollow who suffers from dysphoria. Led to one of the most bleedy scenes for me in a long time.

A dream to Kate Bullock River Williamson Richard Ruane Maria Rivera and Lauren McManamon, who are already ankle deep in planning Gauntlet Con 2018, even though it is still eight months away!

A dream to the game runners on Gauntlet Hangouts! That space is no longer the private playground of Rich, Lowell, and I, which makes me very, very happy.

A dream to Rob Abrazado, who does that wonderful, difficult-to-summarize, but absolutely necessary community cheerleading that makes the Gauntlet possible.

A dream to our game designer Patrons: Phillip Wessels Ray Otus Michael X. Heiligenstein and Fraser Simons. Their monetary pledges are obviously helpful, but more important: they let me apply my very unique experience in this hobby to their creative projects, and that is personally satisfying for me.

Do you have dreams to give out this week? Post them in the comments (non-Gauntlet related dreams are totally fine!)

I’d like to do some crowdsourcing for the Miscellany in Codex – Cold. The piece is called “Three dozen unusual things about this body we just found.” Submissions should be no more than 2-3 short sentences. By submitting here, you’re agreeing to let us use it (you’ll get a credit on the issue). We’re looking for evocative stuff. The purpose of the Miscellany is to inspire the reader.

For this one, you can go with any genre or flavor, so long as whatever is going on with your corpse is strange and might inspire some kind of investigation by the player characters.

Here are some examples:

“The serial number XKC4005281 is tattooed on the inside of her lower lip.”

“The tiny hard drive on his ocular recording implant is still intact, and contains video of everything he saw in the last three days of his life. Everything except for a tiny, 10-minute slice, which is no doubt connected to who or what did him in.”

“The flesh on the wizard’s fingers is completely melted off, leaving nothing but charred bones. It gives new meaning to the term ‘burning hands,’ that’s for sure.”
