Wyrdwarp Team

Founded in the distant past of 2019 by the celestial wizard Michael Baumbach and digital sorcerer Esteban Moreno, Wyrm’s Codex: Games and Wonders, is a humble company with a singular goal. Bring new experiences and ideas from across the multiverse to tabletop players in every region of this infinitely insignificant blue planet. 

Having been brought together by ancient fey spirits of cooperation and mutual respect and calling upon the power of ruthless deamonic lords of competition and strategy, the mages and mavericks that forge the codex will stop at nothing to and bring the prophetic decks of the Wyrdwarp to your gaming table or digital device. After 4 years of meticulous development, preparation and refinement, 2023 will see the release of the Wyrdwarp: Cryptid Multiverse Starter Set. Wyrm’s Codex is taking the first step in what they hope to be a long line of unique and engaging quests. They look forward to enjoying this wonderous epic tale with fan and foe alike.
