The Codex: look anything up

The Codex is where Waypoint Realms keeps what it knows. It sits in the top navigation next to Messages, outside the Realms, because looking something up is not something you do inside one Realm — a character, a series, and a set of game rules are all the same kind of question.

What's in it

The Codex is organised into collections:

• Academy — learn-to-play guides for board games and tabletop RPGs. What a game is, how it works, and how to win.
• Comics — publishers, their universes and series, and the characters, teams, locations and items inside them.
• Anime — studios, franchises and titles, plus the cast across every catalogued show.

More collections can be added over time; the left rail always lists everything the Codex currently holds.

Finding things

The search box on the Codex landing searches only the Codex, so you get guides and characters rather than sessions and venues. On the results page you can widen back to everything, or narrow to a single collection, using the scope chips above the results.

The site-wide search covers the Codex too — this is just a faster way in when you already know you want reference material.

Where things moved

The Academy used to live at its own top-level link, and the Comics and Anime codexes each sat inside their Realm. They are all in the Codex now. Old links and bookmarks still work — they redirect to the new locations, so nothing you saved is lost.
