The Cat-sìth, a classic from Irish myth, is now converted to 5e! WIP of the Emerald Crown :D

How are you doing, dearest planeswalkers of our order? Alvar here :D

I bring you a little something before the release date comes - the Cat-sìth, inspired (stolen) by Irish myth. Don't let the low CR fool you, these small monstrosities can be a real headache under the right circumstances, and they are often in service of much greater dark fae powers >:D

Hope you have fun with this one, and don't forget to leave us your feedback if you have any! We're still in time to correct a...

Threadmaster Entries Now on our Patreon Shop!

Hello everyone! Marcelo here :D

Patreon has somewhat improved their shop feature, and we wanted to give it a try. We have uploaded several of our Deluxe Editions over the past few months, as a sort of backlog, for those that would like a specific entry but couldn't get it while it was live on our patreon. We do prefer you guys join the community as paid members, so our tiers will always have the best offers, but the storefront can be an alternative if you don't want to ...

THE MOSS KNIGHT COMMANDER, a Preview :D

Hello again, dearest planeswalkers! Alvar here ;)

I bring another little WIP piece, a powerful Knight Commander that has the determination and might to face down entire squadrons of the anti-natural all by himself! Well, perhaps with the aid of some awakened vegetation >:D

Aaaaanyway, the Emerald Crown is coming along very nicely! Marcelo and I finally got into the workflow mindset, and I think the result is gonna be pretty cool - plenty of fae of every flavor coming up!!

WIP of the Emerald Crown: THE MOSS KNIGHT

Hello, dearest planeswalkers! Alvar over here :D

So, between maniacal bouts of relentless BG3 playthroughs, we have been hard at work crafting the upcoming content for the Codex, namely the "february" threadmaster exclusive, and of course the Emerald Crown.

Here's a little tidbit from part three of the entry, where you'll be able to go over the Green Kingdoms, the mortal civilizations that endure in this fae-touched land! Hope you enjoy, and please shar...

THE EMERALD CROWN HAS WON! March Will Be Tinted in Mossy Green :D

With thunderous final tally, the Emerald Crown has soared above its contenders! March will be a month for celtic-inspired fantasy. Expect druidic goodness, devout knights with a touch of unknowable fae power, and other wondrous mystical things of all kinds :D and of course, if you've got any ideas, we are all ears! Development is starting on the Emerald Crown as we speak. Thank you to all our archivists, threadmasters and stringweavers for your votes! In making your voice heard, you better ou...

VOTE! Where is Ariadne heading next?

Our planar scouts need direction, Threadseekers! Choose what part of the Codex of Strings universe you'd like to see next :D the options this month are as follows:

The Aurora Desert: This barren land is located in the middle of a tropical expanse, like an eerie blemish in the face of the material plane. Ancient tales call this place a thick jungle... What strange magic operates here that blocks the growth of life? Only undead prowlers, adventuring explorers, a...

The Last Bastion - Base Edition

Dearest threadseekers! How's your February been? :D

We used this entry, and the surge of motivation our unprecedented popularity and success gave us, to bring about the longest entry we've ever made. The difference is notable in the base edition as well as the deluxe, both of which is some 25%  longer than usual. but of course, 25% of 70 is more than 25% of 30. I don't know why I'm writing math. This has been a long day of revisions, hope you'll forgive me, hihi.

An enormous ...

Initiate Bundle: The Last Bastion

Esteemed initiates! Our greetings from the Astral Sea.

Today, we bring you your monthly dose of the Codex's goodness! We hope you enjoy this hand-picked bundle from the Last Bastion. Please let us know of any feedback or questions you have! Your opinion matters a bunch to us.

Have a great one, dearest planeswalkers, and see you in our next release!

Alvar & Marcelo, Co-Founders of the Codex

A Preview! And An Announcement...

Hello, dearest visitants archivists, threadmasters and beyond! Alvar here :D

I come bringing you a little preview of all the goodness coming soon with the Last Bastion, by far our most ambitious entry (feels like we say that every month lol, we really don't know when to stop), which will graze the 100 page count. A compendium of Uldann's constructs, complete with a good bit of lore for you to start immersing yourself in this intriguing floating city...

Now, onto t...

OATH OF EMINENCE - A True Hero, or perhaps, a Terrible Villain... - Become the strongest with this magical paladin oath!

Hello people! Marcelo here

More showcases of the Last Bastion (coming very soon!!).

I think this entry will be our best work yet, to be honest. We are nearing the 80-90 page mark for this one, and it comes with the most expansive adventure we've done, even bigger than the Rippling East one.

Let's hope you guys enjoy it! Comming on the 20th, in theory, though perhaps we will delay it for a couple of days, as we've been having some irl stuff going on and we want to put out the...

A Vestige of the Teng... - Another Preview of the Last Bastion!

Hello, hello! Tis Alvar speaking. 

The confection of the Last Bastion is well underway, so I thought I'd bring you another little preview :D the Moonsilver Envoy is a very powerful summon you can obtain within this sourcebook, an avatar of a lost Teng lunar civilization. Give it to your players with caution. Its Moonlight Breath will wreck combat encounters, ESPECIALLY against lycans and aberrations.

Cheers!! <3

Custodians at the Spire - An Encounter to introduce Uldann's Politics, an antagonist, and a very helpful ally!

Hi people!!! How's it going? Marcelo here.

We've been working, as usual. The Last Bastion is the first time we are working together since the Rippling East! Feels good. And the results speak for themselves! We are trying a different style for this entry, a more anime-like illustrator. It's looking great!!

Here's a little preview. There might be some mistakes! But here are our two "main characters", let's say. 

The Last Bastion is a very political entry! We haven't done ...

BETTER SPELLBOOK - A Compendium of 60+ Spells to Add to your Table!

Hello there friends!

Let's say, we are back. We are SO back. Both Alvar and I are in the same country (shocker, I know) and will be focusing our fulltime on Codex of Strings for the near future. We had our cute lil vacations, now, we get to WORK!!!

What is this, you may ask? Well, one of our patreons once said we should make compendiums of our stuff. Like, functional compendiums. Spells, feats, monsters, etc. We said "yeah, you are right", but then we never did it. This is the fir...

PANTRY OF THE MULTIVERSE: A Little Preview ;)

How are you doing, dearest planeswalkers of the City of Strings? Hope 2024 is treating you alright :D

So, we'll be releasing January's Threadmaster Entry tomorrow, and we wanted to give a public little preview of it! PDF is attached, because image quality in Patreon kinda sucks.

If you guys enjoy this sort of alternative content, we'll happily look into making more of these side-books! We've been wanting to expand our range for a while now, bu...

The Last Bastion Has Won! February Will Belong to the Skies :D

After losing by a narrow, narrow margin to the Library of Underside just two months ago, the Last Bastion has won the January 2024 poll with over 50% of the votes, both for Threadmasters and Archivists. And so, it shall become Ariadne's next destination! Thank you to everyone for voting and for your support. The City of Strings is flourishing, and we could not be more appreciative of this amazing planeswalking community that grows month by month <3

Got any ideas for the Last Bastion?...

VOTE! Where is Ariadne Heading Next? - Jan 2024

After a one-month hiatus in polling, the famed planeswalking council is called back to its illustrious duty: to decide the destination of our planar scouts for the next month. You can be sure that, whatever your pick, they shall return with wondrous knowledge for you to enjoy :D here are the options we grouped for this month!

The Last Bastion (Last Vote's Runner Up): The only Floating City that has stood the test of time, still wandering the skies of the material pl...
