The Crow’s Codex is a series of stories told via Tabletop RPGs played by real people. In each tale the characters and players will be different, and you can expect new systems along the way as well!

In these stories you can expect themes of curses, prophecies, fear, etc. The goal in the telling of these tales is to ask some of the harder questions, like "At what point does someone stop being a person?" and "How much freedom of choice can one have in a world where Prophecy is a real thing?"

    The year is 1979 and an NGO known as WEB has dedicated itself to protecting the world from the supernatural, the extraterrestrial, and communism. No one knows exactly what lead to the events that would cause the dissolution of WEB save that the office in Bidwell North Virginia stopped reporting in. The following story is the first light shed on what officials only call "The Ohio Incident"

    Howdy folks! We're hard at work making the next series for The Crow's Codex, so while you wait for new episodes, we're gonna feature some episodes from the partner pods in the Imaginary Broadcast Network


    First up we have "And I feel fine" from Daniel's Dread Tales


    Content warnings for this episode: Child Endangerment, Things happen to the dog, Heavy Violence.


    From the DDT original post:


    With the internet out, A boy and his dog join a goon and his brother on a journey across the desert to find out why. What could possibly go wrong? Frantically covers episode title with hands. This week's Dread Tale uses the unknown armies second edition rules (for real this time!)

Je Ne Sasquatch ,

Great cast and story

Curse of Lords begins with a novel mystery and continues with heartwarming and thought provoking episodes. The cast is earnest and funny, and does a great job of interacting with the unusual setting that has been created for them.

The sound quality is good, and the episodes are very polished with excellent audio, music, and effects.

Love it!

Being a fellow podcaster I love to check out new shows. This one blew me away with its unique characters and dark world. Excited to see where it goes and you should as well!

Curse of Lords is a great listen for any D&D fan. It features a cool cast of characters and an interesting homebrew world. I can't wait for more episodes!
