The Crow’s Codex is a series of stories told via Tabletop RPGs played by real people. In each tale the characters and players will be different, and you can expect new systems along the way as well! In these stories you can expect themes of curses, prophecies, fear, etc. The goal in the telling of these tales is to ask some of the harder questions, like "At what point does someone stop being a person?" and "How much freedom of choice can one have in a world where Prophecy is a real thing?"
