I see! It would certainly be a fun project. Since there’s no “canon” framework for a global map of the forge (at least not one of equivalent detail to the map of the Ironlands), it would mean a lot more prescribed worldbuilding than the Atlas. I’ll keep it in mind!

I’d be happy to work with you on this — please email support@jaderavens.com and I’ll see what I can do. Thanks, Jopery!
Hi Jopery,
Thanks for reaching out! I’ve received similar feedback from others on Discord, so I’m happy to explain how the pricing worked out. First I want to acknowledge that it seems unfair, and I apologize for the lack of clarity. This was my first time crowdfunding a project, I’ve learned a lot, and I appreciate your patience.
Originally, the atlas was conceived in three volumes since it was a significant time commitment (50+ hours of work per volume). There were going to be 4 releases at $5 each for early backers: volume 1, 2, 3, and the omnibus (the full atlas in a single volume). My original reason for waiting on the omnibus was the added complexity and content of renumbering all the pages and minimaps, adding the Oracle of Contents, and reformatting source files for inclusion. By the time I started work on volume 3, my workflow had improved and I realized I would be able to finish it before the end of the year. In my excitement, I decided to pivot and make the push, do the extra work, and release the full atlas (skipping volume 3 as a standalone release).
Because of the extra work and content involved in finishing the omnibus, I charged $10 for early backers (vol 3 + omnibus), since they were originally planned to be $5 each. However, as you pointed out, I didn’t realize at the time that meant my early supporters would end up contributing a few dollars more than latecomers. Others pointed this out to me, but by then it was too late to correct the error without making more of a mess.
Like I said, I’ve learned a lot from the process and will certainly have more foresight going forward — but I still want to make good in the meantime. As a volume 1 supporter, you should have received an email today with a discount code allowing you to purchase a copy of the Print on Demand version at cost, meaning I make no profit on the sale and the PDF version is included for free.
The Atlas wouldn’t exist without you, and I am sincerely grateful for your support and understanding. Please let me know if you run into any trouble with the discount code or have any further questions.
Warmly, Jade Ravens
Hey, that's a great question! They are meant to be white box on a gray background, but they're not showing up in the PDF for some reason. I'll see about getting the file updated. In the meantime, to clear up the confusion: Heat maxes out at 4, and Revelations max out at 3. The last box is (supposed) to look different because they trigger special moves.
Have fun! I'd love to hear how it goes!
Hi @fuzzycynoaki!
You're not at all a doofus, and I'm glad you asked!
1️⃣ You should be able to do so from the "ReadMe" sheet under "Global Settings." If the row group is collapsed, it can be expanded by clicking the "+" sign to the left:
2️⃣ Checking the first box will include all compatible Sundered Isles assets in the dropdown filters.
Currently, the Crew Sheet is optimized for the Forge, so you'll notice only the Sundered Isles assets compatible with the base game are included by default. A new playkit dedicated to Sundered Isles is in my development pipeline, but it will take time to update the sidebars and reformat sheets to better suit a seafaring campaign.
⚠️ In the meantime, if you want to include all Sundered Isles assets it's an easy fix. You can follow these steps to avoid breaking anything:
- Check the "Sundered Isles" and "Custom" boxes under ReadMe > Global Settings.
- Unhide the "Asset Database" sheet.
- Do only one of the following:
- Change the "Source" to "Custom" in column "N" for any/all Sundered Isles assets you wish to include.
- Check the "Compatible" box in column "O" (as in Oscar) for any/all Sundered Isles assets you wish to include. Note: you won't be able to easily undo this later, so I'd recommend option A.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for letting me know! I didn't realize this, and I'll definitely correct it. I was curious so I did a bit of research, and sure enough there are some strange quirks to how Itch.io handles ratings nad reviews. Apparently "reviews" aren't public and ratings are only there to drive algorithm traffic. Not how I'd do things (and contrary to how we're accustomed to things working on online marketplaces) but oh well. Now I know! Cheers

The Struggle is a one-page RPG designed to simulate what it feels like to struggle with depression. If you struggle, this game is a reminder that you’re not alone. For everyone else, my hope is that this game fosters awareness, understanding, and empathy.
Be kind to yourself.
