The Jade Codex

ADD TO WISHLIST >


An ancient force... beyond the comprehension of mortal minds...

A remote villa is being built in the frigid mountains far north of the imperial capital. Rumors abound of smuggled materials and odd artifacts making their way to the site, suggesting that its owner, the rich and powerful Imperial minister Lord Alzag, may be undertaking something more than the mere construction of a second residence.

What's more, Alzag has not been seen or heard of for months. Reports of people gone missing; villa guards, servants of Lord Alzag, and villagers from the quaint nearby hamlet of Five Poplars, have been increasing.

Most pressing of all of these rumors concern a number of jade stones that form the fragments of a very ancient artifact known to scholars as "The Jade Codex." All that is written of this artifact is that it concerns an ancient priesthood of Elves and a legendary "9th gate" to the "Fey Realm." The lure of finding such an artifact, whatever it does, is great, and is likely attracting the attention of more than one icon to the villa. The PCs must recover these stones while uncovering the mystery of the villa... and the things that haunt it.

 The Jade Codex is my first published PDF, and is intended to be played using the 13th Age RPG system, created by Rob Heinsoo and Jonathan Tweet, and published by Pelgrane Press, though this PDF can also be used in tandem with the 13th Age SRD. However, I have tried to create something in a manner that would make it easily adaptable to other popular d20 systems.

The Jadex Codex contains:

  • 10 hand-GIMPed, high-resolution battlemaps
  • Many new magic items and original monsters
  •  an open, original storyline, allowing you to easily integrate it into your 13th Age or d20 campaign!

Currently working on full Foundry VTT integration!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
