02 / From workshop to table

When a physical edition is available, a maker can handle the printing. Here is what to check before you arrange it.

  1. 01

    Find your workshop.

    Browse by country, town or delivery area. Check whether the maker offers collection, shipping, or both.

  2. 02

    Choose the right edition.

    Check your game’s requirements, then find its available files, materials and hardware notes in the Library. The Codex print files will be listed with their edition and personal-printing guidance. The maker needs separate permission to print that exact edition commercially.

  3. 03

    Agree the details.

    Confirm the total price, timing and what is included. Each independent maker handles their own orders, delivery and returns. Game access is separate unless stated.

03 / A free introduction

A free browser case.
