Wandering Codex Now Live
Wandering Codex is a living, breathing, real-time platform created for writers, worldbuilders, and roleplayers, by a tiny team of two long-time roleplayers. It holds everything a virtual world needs: worlds, private and public, that can be expanded infinitely; personalized lexicons to track even the most minute details; a collaborative play-by-post series of threads; customizable maps with pins; traditional ttrpg elements such as rolling dice, stat sheets, and our own personal oracle-based Turning Deck system; campaigns and quests, both in game and out; and interactive relationship maps to graph every friendship, lover, or rivalry your character may have throughout your time with us. As of July, new features include
live sessions
friend and whisper system
richer profiles & online indicators
I'll be archiving all past and future fanfics on my personal repository here, as well as moving to writing them here. They'll still be available on ao3! This is just my back up.
