A bit late, I know; my apologies for that, but I hereby inaugurate the form to redeem your Curiosity Tokens! Just fill it in and you will be granted access to your redeemed products within 24 hours of submittal. Some considerations to keep in mind:
Hello there!!! Marcelo here.
I'm still doing these subclasses. I think they are extremely fun. What's the premise? Making the whole Major Arcana deck from the Tarot into twenty-something subclasses! The first part we'll release will have 12 subclasses, one for each class (minus Artificer and Blood Hunter). This is what I have planned...
Fool Bard
Strength Monk
Hermit Cleric
Wheel of fortune Rogue

Hi guys!! Marcelo here. Been a while!!
We took a little time off after that monster of an entry. Hope yall are enjoying it as much as we loved making it! I'm back though, with 2 more subclasses to present to yall, from our coming Deck of Many Fates! They are WIP, probably unbalanced, and all around a total mess. But they are incredibly cool! I like them a lot, anyways.
Hope yall are doing okay! We are having a lot of fun with the coming content. Expect similar content drops in th...

Most illustrious planeswalkers, patrons of our order and keepers of knowledge, I salute you today bearing many and more news regarding the Codex!
Leaving the George R. R. Martin tone behind (I am obsessed with those books), we just wanted to make a big announcement so you, our long-time supporters and lifeblood of this project, are properly updated on the plans for the future of the City of Strings after the end of the Core XII settings, which are now official...

My dearest planeswalkers, our most esteemed supporters... It's finally here! The City of Strings opens its gates!
At long last, Marcelo and myself (Alvar) have finished polishing this 125-page behemoth of an entry, an abomination that only two fools with delusions of grandeur could have dreamt up. You will find a bunch of things within, including 20+ stat sheets, a similar amount of magic items, more NPCs than any other entry, Fallow's entire backstory, 3 fully...

Why hello, dearest Threadseekers of our order! We hope you're having a great day :D
We are happy to announce that the City of Strings is here! Well, the first part anyway, the second one's still in revision. As it turns out, balancing 5 CR 25+ monsters, half a dozen artifacts and countless spells is kinda time consuming. But still, to release something this illustrious month of May, we've polished up and fully revised the first 50 pages (the very larg...

Firstly, a warning: THIS PREVIEW CONTAINS HUGE SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE CITY OF STRINGS STORYLINE. With that out of the way...
Who would've thought... The City of Strings is going to be our largest entry yet, surpassing the Last Bastion with its hundred pages. Some of its sections are almost ent...

Hello there! Marcelo talking. Here's more progress on the City of Strings!!
We are really making this one count guys, so, as we have already told ya, we are probably gonna be releasing around the 25th, at the end of next week. Still! We are working tirelessly to bring y'all our BEST ENTRY YET!
In this compendium you'll find: 3 stat blocks, one for a CR 18 Warden and two for CR 12 and 15 interdimensional criminals. They are two nasty buggers.

Today we bring you a sneak peak! A small showing of our work for the final entry. We are working tirelessly on both this and other projects, to bring y'all the best content this side of the astral sea. We want this last entry to be a big one, so we'll probably take a little bit longer than usual on the release! We'll still be posting here, so you guys have a STEADY source of content!

Hello there people! Marcelo here
More WIP of our next Threadmaster entry. We are doing the Major Arcana cards as Subclasses! We've got the Fool, the World, the Devil, the Tower... and now, Strength! This monk is just a subclass that should exist in the base game, maybe with a little more ki-based flavor (we grew up with dragon ball Z, what can I say).
Anyhow, that's it for this small little sneak peak. This is WIP! Might be completely unbalanced and just all around broken. If you ...

Hello there people! Marcelo here.
Wanted to show y'all a sneak peak of a personal project of mine, that will eventually be realized (probably in a future threadmaster entry!). We don't have many subclasses in our entries, so we thought about doing a special booklet filled with character options for our higher tier patreons. Then we thought... how can we make this cool? Just doing random, disconnected subclasses wouldn't be our style.
So! This is our pitch....

We've packed it with as much D&D content as was humanly possible, while also adding some extra spice to make your adventure in the Underground the most incredible yet! We've got 80 pages for y'all this time, filled with silly dwarves, eldritch gods, and a lot of mushrooms. Have fun!

Delve into the Underground, discover the ancient artifacts of the Teng, and fight the Eldritch Monsters that dwell in the deep! This base edition has a bunch of really cool magic items, from all the other adventurers that failed their delving expedition. Will your party meet the same fate?
Hope you enjoy!

Hello there! Marcelo once more with another PREVIEW!!
This is the Fungolem. He is very cool. He is also pretty cute! He tends to the Setva fields, protecting the little fungi from harm. He is quite the distinguished gentleman!!! He can also bash your head in, if you step on a shroom.
Other possible names where: Shroomzilla, Fungargantuan Guy, and of course, Mushrampage. If you got any other puns leave them in the comments. We will be using them in the future.

Bonjour!!! Tis I once more, Marcelo, bringing you another sneak peak into THE NETHERDEPTHS!!
This item is a pretty powerful artifact. Sooner or later, however, it will lead to your demise. No one can escape the void forever... but in case you DO summon a ravenous Karcharis into your dimension, just remember... it will kill whatever it finds along the way.
That's it for me now!!! You'll see more in the coming days. Love you guys <3

Well, we... have been hard at work to create our next entry. And we don't stop coming and we don't stop coming and we don't stop coming...
Here's a preview of our Tectonic Netherdepths, coming April 20th! We are pretty excited for this one, not gonna lie. Robots and monsters, and bandits and eldritch horrors, and ancient technology and... well, anything goes really. Underground levels were always my favorite.

So, we made an announcement a few days ago, where we told you Ariadne's Codex would be going on a one month break to deal with a bunch of personal and business related issues. Aaaaand, you may be wondering why we haven't hit pause on billing yet. And it's because we've discussed and reconsidered our resolution.
In short... we're backtracking? We took a long hard look at the...

A minor revision of a fan-favorite (and personal favorite, too!) subclass from Allfather's Ink, taking some of the feedback we got from the interwebs.
Hope you enjoy! I rehashed Notes of Loss to use Bardic Inspiration (a mechanic that was wholly missing from the original), added some limitations to the Language of Madness trait, and...
