Outland Entertainment has announced the launch of Quill & Codex, a new role-playing system developed by writer Cullen Bunn. The “rules light” game is designed to be easy to learn and easy to play, allowing gamers to focus on having fun, rolling dice, and telling stories together. The Base Game Rules, a fully illustrated 45-page rulebook which provide all the rules you need to play, will be available as a free download.

Quill & Codex will be well-supported with new content. Several additional rulebooks are in development. These supplements cover everything from monsters to spells to magic items to non-player characters.

In addition, Outland Entertainment will be publishing numerous online articles, enhancements, and optional rules for this ever-expanding game.

The centerpiece for this online content is Daemonrot, a “meat-grinder super-dungeon” that will be published level-by-level online. This ever-growing adventure setting uses the Quill & Codex rules, but it can be easily adapted to any role-playing campaign.

The first two levels of Daemonrot (Level 0 and Level 1) will be released on March 19 and March 20. Then, a new level will be released every two weeks.

While the Quill & Codex Base Rules and Daemonrot will be available digitally for free, Outland will be releasing limited edition hardcopy zines for Planet Comicon in Kansas City, MO, on March 21 – 23, 2025. Both the Quill & Codex base rules and a sampler of several Daemonrot levels will be available for purchase by convention attendees.
