Ariadne's Codex of Strings

<h2 style=""><img alt="" src="https://imgur.com/uQjn9Ik.png" title=""></h2>I'm so glad you could make it. I am Ariadne, and I suppose it's fair to say I'm in charge around here. For now, anyway! I bid you a warm welcome to the City of Strings, home to the illustrious Codex of Strings. Each month we print new additions for the Codex, teeming with all kinds of 5e compatible TTRPG content: monsters, items, spells, you name it! Some parts we release freely to the entire cosmos, but most we keep within our organization. Can't risk information falling into the wrong hands!If you should join us and get your hands on our gorgeous Codex, be sure to keep an eye out for my annotations! Advice, encouragement and love is all they are. Yes, three things that'll help anyone, from initiates to threadmasters.Love,Ariadne<h2 style=""><img alt="" src="https://imgur.com/HZEuDjb.png" title=""></h2>Y'know, an extraplanar city beyond time and space takes heaps of coin to maintain... So, that's where I come in! The name's Runo Fylsworth, chief financieer of this whole operation, or Threadmaster of Finance, as they insist on calling me. Anyhow, I've designed this so that the more you contribute to the cause, the more the cause contributes to you... Does that make sense? It boils down to this: the higher your tier, the more content you'll gain access to. But keep an eye out for other rewards! Ariadne may be all about the knowledge, but, heh, you and I know that voting power, contacts, and all that stuff... It matters too, no?Here's an overview, cause I love price lists:<ul><li>2$ - Runo's Tip Jar: Support us, and gain early access to the cornerstone of the Codex of Strings: the Ariadne's SRD, an ever-evolving document with our best and most playtested content, our fan-favorite house rules, and more! Also, receive all our narrative content. We make comics, short stories, and plan on expanding our line!</li><li>6$ - Fallow's Field Notes: A whole homebrew document each month, and the ability to vote for upcoming ones! Penned by our renowned Threadmaster of Arcana &amp; Science, they are quite a thing to behold, even in their succinctness.</li><li>15$ - Ariadne's Archives: If succinctness ain't your thing, well, we have Ariadne's expansion to Fallow's Field Notes. She is quite the rambling sort, trust me, but you will find that her tirades are laced with wisdom, laden with intelligence, and of course, baked with love! Highly recommend this, mate. It's the best value, and I'm a sucker for a deal!</li><li>50$ - Garas' Syllabus: First of all, thank you for even considering this tier. It means a lot! Y'know, mate, we've published a ton of sourcebooks in our time. At this level of support, we'll give you three of those (each at least 60 pages worth of top-notch 5e compatible homebrew), every month! Heavy reading, but worth it, mate.</li><li>100$ - Eternity's Bane: Well, if you made it this far, I should call you sir! Or ma'am. Or whatever you are most comfortable with. This prestige tier is reserved for those that want to shine a bright torch against the void of ignorance, and support us at a level that will keep our creative fire burning for months. So, thank you, mate. A big thank you, from the heart. I do have one, against popular belief.</li></ul>Anyhow, feel free to check out the different tiers in detail. I made them intuitive enough, I trust, but don't hesitate to send us a message if you've got doubts. Just not to me, personally. I'm busy. Ask Fallow, I'm sure he'd be happy to help.Cheers mate,Runo<h2 style=""><img alt="" src="https://imgur.com/JpW1s5r.png" title=""></h2>I am the Threadmaster of Arcana and Scientific Pursuit, Guilliam Fallow. I believe rigor to be the most essential quality of anyone who wishes to follow in the pursuit of knowledge, so I thought I'd give you an introduction to what you can expect if you decide to join our ever-expanding community of planeswalkers. As I imagine Runo colorfully explained, each tier grants access to additional content from the Codex. To be specific, we offer the following things in our monthly publications:<ul><li>Deep, overarching lore of our Universe. It has a wide array of sub-settings, including continents, planes of existence, or even asteroid fields in the Astral Sea. The variety this provides makes it easy to drag-and-drop the aspects you like most into your official or homebrew games!</li><li>Creatures of all CRs in the 5e format.</li><li>Magical items of every rarity.</li><li>New spells.</li><li>New feats.</li><li>Class and race options.</li><li>Variant rules to spice up your 5e experience.</li></ul>Be mindful! Not every release contains all of these things. Read their descriptions carefully, and select the one that befits your interest. Perhaps you want 5e content, but not extra lore... And we have you covered, in that case. Only an amateur scientist wouldn't plan for every eventuality.Cordially,Guilliam

Free

Hello there, mate! This is mostly a general support tier, although you will also get exclusive early access to our SRD, narrative content (such as our comics and short stories), and of course, our WIP and preview posts! Not bad for the price of a coffee*.*Price of a coffee may vary depending on your plane of existence.

Runo's Tip Jar

Well, salutations, initiate of our order! At this tier, you shall gain access to a small monthly release, providing ample insight into one region of our vast universe. You can expect some lore, monsters, items, spells, and much else. The exact contents of each release largely depend on the region at hand. You will also receive full access to the backlog of these releases, and the ability to vote on which region will be explored next. As for the price, it is equivalent to that of an earthly pizza.**Price of a pizza may vary according to your plane of existence, too.

Fallow's Field Notes

Hi dearie! Glad you made it all the way here. You will be well provided at this tier, receiving about double the content to be found in Fallow's Field Notes! Of course, you will also get the full backlog of these expanded releases, to peruse at your heart's content. Ah, and if you happen to stumble across our website, you'll have 30% OFF! Runo's idea. Last but not least, you'll get access to our full library of FoundryVTT modules (currently, one module). Sate your endless curiosity, for the price of a gallon of sourwood honey* .*Price of a gallon of sourwood honey will vary depending not only on your plane of existence, but also on market conditions in your local area. I guess.

Ariadne's Archives

I see you have made it to our highest courses of studies. Very well, I shall be your tutor. At this level of support, you will receive an increased discount on our webstore (an outrageous 50% OFF), and most importantly, three sourcebooks each and every month, drawn from our ample backlog of knowledge, built up through years of rigorous investigation. I expect you have your reading up to date when you show up to my class! All of this, for the price of a fancy-schmancy meal*.*What even is a fancy-schmancy meal? Who wrote this?!

Garas' Syllabus

"There have been others, before Ariadne's time. There will almost certainly be others in the future."If you climbed all the way up here... wow. We never thought the Codex could mean this much to anyone other than us, but there are times when one is happy to be proven wrong. So, a big THANK YOU, not only here, but next to your name, which will appear on all of the Codex of Strings' releases.Get access to every post on this patreon, a backlog of a thousand 5e DnD pages and counting!
