No problem! As soon as I did reply, this forum went offline, so I couldn't look back for your own...I hope it clarified details a bit. The Halifuna can suffice too as the early Eastern Germans and Slavs lived side-by-side and their traditions were blurred. The Goths had said that the Huns were spawn...

I didn't make it too clear in this 1st Edition sorry! Hopefully, I can make a 2nd Edition of it soon to clarify, but the 'Kulduny' Class also falls into the Witch category as well. This just requires a simple Alignment change and obviously an allegiance to Czernobog and his demons of the Underworld ...

The good thing is, I am part Korean/Japanese in reality, so this isn't out of my expertise really. It is all part of my heritage and background, and boy is it! The Celtic thing is my academic expertise, and I am soon to add the Asian to it as well with a degree or two as well. Expect the same level ...

ALL Asian Character classes will be thoroughly covered in the three Codices in the works now! I plan to define them according to the basic C & C format, and those beyond the standard. I am even going to try to add Chi/Qi/Ki and Martial Arts rules too and make it so that the movies and tales can ...

For everyone going to Origins, please cast your votes for two of our Codices that are nominated for awards this year! That is right, both the 'Codex Germania' and 'Codex Slavorum' are up for awards in the 'Best RPG Supplement' Category this year. There will be a voting booth there for all Con-Goers ...

Mr. Young, great work with Codex Celtarum and the other codices too. Loved the Codex Germania above all, I have to say. I Hope you keep on your excellent work, and I wish to see some day a codex on egyptian, mesopotamian and levantine cultures too! My regards. M. Thanks a million, and oddly enough ...

Thanks Celticgamer. The book is a wonderful piece of work. I am no scholar in Celtic myth but have been pondering on a number of possibilities for campaigns in this space - say for example the Dark Age Arthurian myth space. Are you able to give us a little bit of insight on the possible ETAs for th...

All of the 'F' Series is meant for the 'Codex Celtarum', 1st and future 2nd Editions actually, plus I have about four to five more modules ready-to-go for publication. I am just waiting for them to be next in line. They have been written for a few years now. I am happy you like the 1st Edition, but ...

Print codices all available in Troll Lords online store! Germania ordered, am going to digest that one, then see if other two have migrated over to B&N... have a gift card set aside to use for them! Kick starters, would love to see a review! Mick I would like to see some reviews too, as always!

Just got my books yesterday, and I hadn't even remembered pledging for the physical books. Thank you! Eagerly looking forward to more, from all around the world! I am eagerly awaiting the time to work on the Asian set now (once the Egyptian and Mesopotamian books are written) due to my recent DNA r...

On a related note: The 2nd Edition to the ' Codex Celtarum ' is done, and it is over 200,000+ words in size. To put this in perspective, the average Codex is roughly about 79,000. In this new and FINAL edition, only barely 8-10% of it is what you see in the 1st Edition, everything else is newly wri...

This is amazingly already possible. Such a character can be made from a mix of the Shaman class in the Codex Slavorum and the Celtic Druid in the soon-to-be-revealed 2nd Edition Codex Celtarum . I had noticed there was a lack of this overall and now, with these Codices covering ancient cultures, I c...

Some Asian-oriented stuff would be great. I liked the 1st edition Kara Tur boxed set, though it had its flaws. Didn't like when they tried to mash up Rokugan with Oriental Adventures. For me, keeping the cultures separate is key. I hated how they mixed up Japanese, Chinese, and Korean names and Rom...

I don't have much to add here at this point, except that I hope the Adventurer's Backpack adds some nice juice to the C&C games out there. I'm not sure if the point of that products is evocative enough to see a sizable upswing in C&C, but at my table I think this will entice a few more play...

Any updates regarding the public release of the new Codex books?? Yes actually! They went through another series of careful proofreads and edits on them all recently, and now are in their printing stage! Finally, the three newest Codices will be in physical, hardcopy print and reality! I cannot wai...

It must be our 'pagan' or Pre/Non-Christian themed Codices too...we might as well have been including some other questionable materials too and be targeted by the Chick Tracts. Moral Compass, what an arrogant twit! Wow. His is broken. I wouldn't take it seriously, he sounds bitter about something. &...

Once the Western Hemisphere's Codices are complete, I then move onto the Asian set! I know they will be fun to write, read and use. I think there should be at least 2-3 books to contain it all.

As a historian (a Bachelors in History, and having taught it for almost ten years), I know I am not writing history books, that isn't their purpose. My Masters is in 'Arthurian Studies' however, and that covers many subjects (myth, archaeology, history, linguistics, etc.) and my PhD will be in Celti...

Yes, really. That's a very bold statement to be 'the definable tome.' Perhaps in 1000 pages that could be a true statement. I've read the Celt and Viking works and while they are very good, I don't find them to be the end-all, least-ways for all gaming purposes. Perhaps I have expectations that can...

OK...

Prove it.

I have extreme doubt.

Really? I will let the previous editions do the work and the future ones do as well. Extreme doubt you say? Ych a fi.

Honestly, never saw the need or desire for a Conan RPG. But, that doesn't mean it can't be useful in other ways... especially if there's some new take on spell usage. I understand your point of view, but for me, if I want to GM a game in Conan's Hyperborea world, I want someone else to spent the ti...

I have planned, once the vast majority of the Codices are completed, to round them up with all of the sunken and mythical lands from these many ancient cultures and civilizations and put them together in one volume, and call it something like the Codex Antidiluvia , or the 'Book (before the) Flood'...

Sounds brilliant and a good idea! Now you need to complete this and move on to its sequel 'The Crimson Pact' and keep the chain moving...the Otherworld is beckoning...

Ta seo go mhaith!

Is it the Fins who are linguistically so unique? Their culture could be really cool.. here's a field trip for you, do the Sami (aka Lapps), you need to do some post doc work and some field studies bringing truly new material to light that has yet not been written? Yes, they are linguistically and g...

... and I will own all of them. Hahahaha, proudly I will be so happy to have them too, and be able to use them in my games as a resource also. I am plotting out maybe writing an Atlantian/Lemurian themed Codex as well to wrap it up, simply because I was unable to include each of these 'lost lands' ...

I know the struggle, hang in there, 15 years of grad school at Case while working full time and raising a young family... keep plugging along. There's a Shakespeare quote, which I'll butcher, that applies, "The path forward is as blood as the path back." Might as well keep walking on.. so...

No offense was meant, I thought I had read in your message that you had to soft peddle the alignment issue because folks don't like ambiguity. So, I just wanted you to portray as they and their people were. Your efforts in this field are impressive and your work useful to the game. I and many other...

But absolute good and evil likely do not exist, not facing the facts of life that our forefathers knew and understood and enshrined in their beliefs and gods themselves gives proof that it is not beyond humanity,,, just modern folks who are too simple for such truths in life? Do not make more "...

Nope, I have been told about it by many people and know the basics about it. The Slavonic Pre-Christian religion, although it had a pantheon, a large one, did had an emphasis on the Light and Dark or Good/Evil conflict, and it is thought by scholars derived from an Eastern influence (Mesopotamia, th...
