Codex Cryptica

Overview

Codex Cryptica is an AI-assisted worldbuilding and campaign management tool built around a living knowledge graph instead of a folder of loose documents. Every character, faction, location, and event you create becomes a linked entity, so your world stays connected and explorable as it grows. Genre-agnostic across fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, horror, post-apocalyptic, western, steampunk, and more.

Key features

Worldbuilding & Lore

Entities link automatically into a visual relationship graph. A full chronology view (calendar + timeline) tracks your world's history, and multi-generation family trees keep lineages straight without manual bookkeeping.

AI Co-Author

The Lore Oracle grounds every suggestion in your existing lore rather than generating generic filler. Dedicated generators cover NPCs, factions, settlements, magic items, languages, and full dungeon/delve locations. Complete with an interactive room-by-room Dungeon Canvas and GM dossier for anything you generate.

Play & Session Tools

A tactical VTT map, in-app group voice chat, and a Session Hub for prepping and running games sit alongside your lore. No separate tool needed to go from "wrote it" to "ran it."

Share & Collaborate

Publish a read-only link so players can browse the parts of your world you choose to share, even while you're offline. GM-only notes and hidden content stay private automatically.

Local-First

Codex Cryptica stores your campaign world directly in your browser instead of a server you don't control. There's no account required to start building, and no vendor deciding when your data is available. Your vault syncs optionally to Google Drive for backup and cross-device access, but the source of truth stays local. You can work fully offline, and generators fall back to local tables when there's no connection, so a dead wifi signal never stops a prep session. Because nothing is locked behind a proprietary format, you can export your vault as a set of plain Markdown files at any time, or import worlds built in other tools. The result is a campaign manager that behaves like a personal notebook rather than a subscription service. Your world exists whether or not Codex Cryptica's servers do.

Generators

Cryptica's public generators are AI powered RPG content tools covering NPCs, factions, locations, items, quests, languages, full dungeon/delve locations, and more! Each generator is theme-aware, adapting output to fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, horror, post-apocalyptic, western, steampunk, and other genres rather than sticking to one setting. Subsequent generations can be aware of previous content, and use that in its generation, enabling a full session of world building just from the generators. Generated results can be copied directly for use at the table, or saved into a local Codex Cryptica vault to become a linked entity in a larger campaign world, connected to the characters, factions, and locations already there. The generators is also available inside Codex Cryptica for world aware generations.

At First Sight

High-Fantasy
English
Indie
At First Sight is a role-playing game where most of the action takes place in The Breach, a city founded after a magical cataclysm known as The War. The city is dominated by five great mages whose towers rise around a massive rift of darkness created by the power of The Prophet, who is said to hold the fate of the city in his hands. The strange and esoteric city we live in is divided into five districts, each hosting one of the towers where the great mages reside, and which give their names to the schools of magic that shape its inhabitants. Description The city is in decline, magic is spiraling out of control, bringing plagues and magical monstrosities. The five great mages haven’t been seen for a long time, and people are starting to take the law into their own hands, fighting for control of the city’s various zones. For this reason, many mages are beginning to form small gangs in their hideouts, competing for power and respect while dealing with plagues and monstrosities.  The goal of most of these gangs is to find The Prophet, as whoever discovers him will decide the city's fate. All this while avoiding The Affliction of The Breach, a "disease" caused by prolonged exposure to the massive rift dividing the city. This affliction generates strange memories in the protagonists, driving them mad or robbing them of control over their magic, turning them into new monstrosities wandering the city's streets. At First Sight is a highly narrative game with intense, exaggerated action, where players manage one of these mage gangs struggling to survive in this cursed city known as The Breach.

Everyday Heroes

Rules-medium
Modern
Heroic
Everyday Heroes is a modern-day action roleplaying game designed by Sigfried Trent, Chris "Goober" Ramsley, and D. Todd Scott, with Jeff Grubb - co-designer of Wizards of the Coast's original d20 Modern - serving as design consultant. Published by Evil Genius Games following a 2022 Kickstarter, it takes the 20-year-old d20 Modern concept and rebuilds it entirely on the 5th Edition SRD chassis: same six ability-driven hero archetypes, same "why play an elf wizard when you can play Rambo" pitch, but running on rules 5e players will recognize instantly.  The line has grown around a string of officially licensed cinematic settings - Escape from New York, Highlander, The Crow, Pacific Rim, Kong: Skull Island, Total Recall - letting the system double as an action-movie conversion kit as much as a standalone game.
