Embark on a haunting journey through the shadowed realms of Memento Mori with Codex Gigas, a 312-page hardcover expansion that delves deeper into the folk-horror world of 14th-century Europe, ravaged by the Black Death. This meticulously crafted supplement, presented in a striking red canvas-style hardcover with gold-foil lettering and a ribbon bookmark, is both a vital addition for players of the Memento Mori roleplaying game and a standalone treasure for enthusiasts of medieval folklore, witchcraft, and mythology.
Codex Gigas is narrated through the eyes of a legendary Drifter, whose unyielding faith has chronicled the mysteries of the world Beyond the Veil. This expansion is divided into four richly detailed sections: Addendum (expanding the grim setting), Bestiarium (introducing supernatural creatures steeped in European folklore), Herbarium (detailing mystical plants and roots), and Lapidarium (exploring enchanted minerals and crystals). A fifth section, the Grimorium, unveils esoteric knowledge to enrich your campaigns. With its supernatural myths, treasures, and ingredients, Codex Gigas empowers Narrators to guide Drifters—plague-afflicted wanderers—beyond the boundaries of the known world, into realms of horror and wonder.
Designed by Andrea Felicioni and Marco B. Bucci, and brought to life with haunting illustrations by Francesco Biagini, Fabio Porfidia, Alessandro Manzella, and other talented artists, this A5-format book is a visual and narrative masterpiece. Whether you're a Memento Mori player seeking to deepen your campaign or a lore enthusiast captivated by dark medieval tales, Codex Gigas offers an immersive experience that blends gameplay with rich storytelling. Perfect for mature audiences, this expansion invites you to explore a world where every choice could lead to salvation or corruption.
