The Cryptex Campaign

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.99

A number of lost journal entries from the queen's vizier chronicle the mystery of a lost god. Defaced coins from rival nations keep turning up in the pockets of assassinated clergy. A cult of warlocks deal in modified spell scrolls with odd symbols scrawled in the corners. This guide allows DMs to doll out in-game artifacts that hook players into a dark conspiracy that centers around the very cryptex that sits at your table

The Cryptex Campaign

The Cryptex Campaign is a guide for dungeon masters to build a customized physical puzzle that acts as an ongoing artifact for your players to tinker with and slowly unlock over the course of 5-8 sessions of a campaign.

Physical and Digital Supplies

This guide requires the user to purchase additional supplies that can total from $20 – $40 in materials. This guide includes:

– Buyer's guide for cryptexes and sticker paper

– An example cypher and accompanying font file

– A printable PDF for applying a cypher on top of your cryptex

Build a Lore-Rich Puzzle

The Cryptex Campaign begins with the party stumbling upon a cryptex covered in strange symbols. Slowly, through roleplaying and adventuring the party comes across a series of clues that both decode the cypher and engage with the deep lore of your world.

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.
