The Midnight Codex: Episode Eleven

The Midnight Codex is an episodic, one-page, tabletop role-playing series using the Omen Method (The same game system used to power Short Order Apocalypse).

In it, payers are thrust into the roles of would-be spell casters as they attempt to solve mysteries, take on nightmarish creatures, and try to prevent the world from collapsing into total chaos and its impending destruction.

Each new exciting episode is designed to be played as a one-shot story and can be played in any order you choose. However, each episode can also be chained together to advanced the overall meta-plot of the game as it unfolds each month.

You shift your gaze to the horizon as dark clouds slowly begin to swirl in a vortex over the buildings downtown.

As if you needed more of a sign, you gather your things to go investigate. That’s when you notice – something else doesn’t feel quite right. Your body begins to tremble as a sickening feeling start to slither underneath your skin…
