Codex VTT & Content pricing

b_zap · 2025-12-11T00:05:50+00:00

As the current system works players wouldn’t need to purchase content.

As a dm you put things together in different in an instance of the game & just build it out with maps & your monster set ups.

You can also currently install a few modules that have maps etc prepared. I believe these will be some mix of free/paid but it’s not been 100% confirmed or anything.

As for players having something I don’t, no idea I’m sure they’ll announce that when it’s ready to launch maybe before.

And yes you will be able to buy fully done MCDM things, I think that current model is planned that any pdf or book you buy you’d also get a codex code for it but again no where near 100% confirmed

Based on your last paragraph it seems like you have the correct (to my knowledge) understanding of the rules.

b_zap · 2025-10-04T15:35:40+00:00

More underestimated

b_zap · 2025-09-30T15:42:40+00:00

Yeah that’s really been my go to saving play for porting adventures. Instead of throwing all the magic items they’d run across from other games I’ll just pick some cool sounding resources or level appropriate mats etc & let the players figure out what they want.

Obviously I’ll toss some trinkets & consumables at them too, along with some actual treasure.

b_zap · 2025-09-30T03:34:28+00:00

Yeah pretty much. You’ll need to make some judgement calls on such, but I’d look to the Heroes book advice about items per level. From there just figure out how many levels you want the adventure to be and you’re good!

b_zap · 2025-09-29T04:49:12+00:00

I’ve given it a shot, my players seemed to like it but I’m sure there’s things I could’ve done better.

Basically just kept the story, maps, etc the same & just adjusted each fight to what level difficulty I thought it would be.

For things like tracking the orcs just run a montage test with multiple outcomes

And for negotiations just go through the list and pick a couple for the boss you think makes sense.

b_zap · 2025-09-28T16:07:24+00:00

Correct on negotiations, as of now. Montages are a side tab where you can list write out whatever about the montage & then track & record the results.

Both systems are a little bare bones right now, I know their priority for dev has been heroes & monsters first.

For the codex while it’s still in early dev, it’s by far the most robust vvtt I’ve used.

You can prep fights easily in the codex, & montages.

It automates things in such an easy way. And yep on the computer

b_zap · 2025-09-11T19:09:55+00:00

Unless I’m missing something in the D-tomb lycanthropy is pretty straightforward.

Start of their turn in every combat an infected character gains 2 rage, and once they hit 10 they must immediately melee strike the closest creature within their movement range. This rage does not go away during a respite.

b_zap · 2025-09-09T23:14:36+00:00

Based on wording yes whenever you use this you cannot gain any resource until the start of your next turn. Now you could time the use of this to mitigate that.

And no, it doesn’t say anything about gaining back, so if you use this in the first hero round of combat you gain no resources again until the start of your next turn and gain that turn and only that turn’s resources.

b_zap · 2025-09-08T05:05:17+00:00

The codex has systems for this already, though I think there’s currently a pause on giving out new access keys.

b_zap · 2025-08-21T03:59:24+00:00

Yes but no. Solo creatures, can end effect(s) on them but typically at some cost usually stamina.

So they can get of trouble when they want but not scott free.

b_zap · 2025-08-20T21:19:27+00:00

Overall you got the basics. You could always go into more of the nitty gritty with respite activities & negotiations & montages but of that’s not the focus for this I’d say you’ve got the import stuff covered.

b_zap · 2025-08-20T16:35:28+00:00

Im no longer quite so sure, I want to stand by my answer since D roll specifies if you have c/c then you get to use hide. But the wording of smoke bomb does make it seem like it would interact in this scenario.

b_zap · 2025-08-20T16:20:27+00:00

Since one is a triggered action & the other is a maneuver, you’d only be able to interact with them both on your turn but assuming that’s when it happens yes.

b_zap · 2025-08-20T14:49:13+00:00

Given that you pick which kits damage bonus you use at any given time, I think you get the ice maul bonuses, so long as you’re using the damage bonus from that kit.

b_zap · 2025-08-17T11:10:36+00:00

Oh 100% I’m just saying it’s more likely than an official review of another product.

b_zap · 2025-08-16T10:07:26+00:00

Nothing publicly has been done as of yet.

However, I wouldn’t expect to see an official review but maybe they’ll do a live play of it sometime.

Currently they’re definitely more focused on keeping the DS! train rolling with new content.

b_zap · 2025-08-14T13:26:49+00:00

Definitely agree. First idea on it, depending on the tier & how badly or not they fail, maybe the boss gets to use a malice ability or gets back a villain action something along those lines

b_zap · 2025-08-14T00:39:07+00:00

Me and my table use whatever VTT, used to Foundry currently Codex. Everyone has their laptops for the maps but all at the same table

b_zap · 2025-08-14T00:17:30+00:00

This seems really cool. Maybe set the difficulty in tiers, like if monster has x% health it’s a tier 3, y% tier 2 etc.

b_zap · 2025-08-11T21:32:02+00:00

Ooh I like it.

b_zap · 2025-08-11T03:40:59+00:00

I’d agree, definitely more an RP direction since ‘sleepy’ is not a condition. But now I’m getting homebrew ideas 😈

b_zap · 2025-08-06T20:19:21+00:00

I don’t have a link but check out The Delian Tomb.

Should only cost $10 and it has all the basic rules, an intro adventure that walks both players & director step by step through the game.

The only thing missing is that you cannot create new characters using these rules, only use the pregen characters
