FAQ

• Who writes the scores?

  Vesper Codex is an independent editorial shelf. The score is our judgement of a game as an evening’s company, not a player poll and not a store ranking.

• What are the five traits?

  Combat, world, story, craft, and replay. Combat is a quarter of the score. World, story, and craft are a fifth each. Replay is the remaining slice. The same weights are used for every game.

• What do the card tiers mean?

  Legendary is 9.2 or higher. Epic starts at 8.5. Rare starts at 8.0. Anything below that is Standard. The tier is a shelf label, not a prize.

• Do the field guides spoil the plot?

  No. They talk about how to spend the first hours: pace, party, and attention. They do not name late twists.

• Why link to the publisher?

  So you can watch their trailer and buy from them if you choose. Vesper Codex does not sell the games and does not take a checkout.
