Today it’s the release date for Chthonic Codex – volume 2: Academia Apocrypha in Print+Pdf and also in PDF only version. The PDFs should be immediately available, the print copies should ship from April. Mind you, I have a new order fulfilling system that could either deliver stuff immediately to your inbox or switch on my neighbour’s oven. If you smell burning and don’t receive the files, fire off a support request from the shop.
Before I start with the blurb, let me tell you a couple of things.
First, I love magic users, and this is the book I’ve been wanting to write for 20 years. I could have made it longer, but 64 pages ought to be enough for anybody. If you buy it now and I decide to add extra material later, you’ll get the updated PDF as a free upgrade.
Second, this book is crammed with fluffy crunch. All mechanics bits that went in were selected to support the setting. Took me ages, and I binned a whole lot of them. It’s been hard.
And now, the announcement proper.
Chthonic Codex – volume 2: Academia Apocrypha: this second volume counts 64 pages of fragments from the recently recovered Chthonic Codex. It’s the player’s handbook of the Chthonic Codex setting, as well as being a stand alone spell book with a bucket of crunch on top for Swords & Wizardry, other retroclones and Adventure Fantasy Game. It’s preceded by Cryptic Creatures and will be followed by another volumes (Mysteries & Mystagogues). It’s available in PDF, Print + PDF and three limited editions: Boxed Set + PDF, Codex Edition and Boxed plus Codex Edition (all are available here).
Looks awesome, I’m having a lot of fun making up spells for AFG myself! I’ll have to add this to my laundry list of things to buy.
