Codex Eternal: Campaign Setting Kickstarter Goes Live!


For the past two decades, my friend Brian Swahn and I have been creating games that capture the sense of adventure and imagination we experienced while playing Dungeons and Dragons as kids. We founded our company to stay connected and continue working together, even as our lives took us in different directions we were able to create The Great Gaias and Gjallarhorn. Now, we're excited to embark on a new venture and bring our games back to their roots of tabletop gaming, where we believe they can truly shine and bring people together in new and exciting ways.


Our passion for creating games that capture the imagination and sense of adventure that we felt as kids has never wavered. We want to create immersive experiences that transport players to new worlds and connect them with others around the table. By supporting our campaign, you'll be helping us achieve our dream and bring these games to life for a new generation of players.
In return for your support, we're offering a range of rewards that include exclusive access to limited edition merchandise, our digital collection of works, and even the chance to design your own character in our new campaign setting.

Even if you can't contribute financially, you can still help us spread the word and make this campaign a success.
