Hey guys. Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the state of the book. Here are the following changes that have been made since you all pointed out the mistakes last week (thank you all again).
- Corrected all spelling and grammar issues that have been reported.
- Capitalised all item names, races and classes throughout.
- Added an alphabetical index of every item in the book.
- Added some backer created items that were missing.
- Corrected formatting issues where some items had text off the page.
- Page numbers have been recoloured to black.
- Replaced an incorrect item set.
- Page numbers have been corrected in the contents page.
- Added a list of random non-magical items you can add for flavour to confuse and inspire your players.
I am now in the process of adding the artwork back in and you all will have the finished version of the book in just a couple more days. :)
Thank you all for being patient and helpful on this project. This whole thing is a learning process for me and I have learned a lot so any future projects will hopefully go smoother.

Hey everyone. Couple of things for you.
1. I tried uploading to drivethrurpg and had the same issue with the pdf not uploading. So I exported a new copy of the pdf and tried again. Same issue. It looks like the issue was something to do with the artwork I had in the book. So I have attempted to reupload the book without most of the artwork just to see if that worked. Went straight though. So I am sat here screaming at my laptop trying to figure this out because it has me super confused!
2. If you pledged for a digital copy of the book, you should have a copy in your email inbox, (the email will be from backerkit and I believe will have a download link in the email) albeit without the majority of the artwork. People have been very keen to get the book so I thought for now I would upload a copy without the item artwork and I will try and figure out what was going wrong with the art, then I can send you all out the full version as it should be.
So for now, you should have all of the content in the book so you can start using it whenever you like. I will plan on getting the artwork sorted out and the proper version of the book sent out to you in the next day or two once I have this issue figured out.
If anyone has any issues getting access or anything, please send me a message because I get notifications about messages but not comments on updates.
Thanks
Last update today. I promise.

Hello again for the last time today,I swear. I'd like to thank you all for helping me with this book.
When I launched this campaign the book was meant to be much smaller as I didn't think I would get to the point of adding stretch goals let alone as many as we did. Overall the book is roughly double the size I had originally planned and I am also working on this alone with the help of a few freelance artists and proofreaders etc. (don't hire proofreaders from fiverr I'm learning) . I am not a writer I am a chef, and I am learning.
Everyone who has flagged up any potential issues or concerns, thank you. I am already going through and changing these as well as some quality of life suggestions (page number colours etc). I will ensure everything is sorted before going to print. The book is currently in a queue with the printers and I have a bit of time to make amendments so rest assured the hard copies will be fixed.
Thank you again for your patience.
Double post!

Hey everyone. Glad to see so many of you are starting to get the email with the download and I am also thankful for those of you who have found small issues with spelling and formatting etc. Please know I will be amending any issues you find before the book goes to print.It is currently in a bit of a queue before the hardbacks get done anyway so I will use this time to change anything you guys find.
Crowd sourcing ftw.
Thanks all. Remember, I am working on this alone. So I am unlikely to get everything 100% perfect. Thanks for your patience.
Good day everyone. An update!

Hey guys. Still having issues uploading the file via backerkit, no idea why. I have heard back from them now and they aren't sure why it isn't working either. As an alternative I am going to be uploading the pdf to Drivethrurpg and distributing that way. I have been looking on their website and it looks like I can mass import an email list rather than adding them one at a time (thankfully).
I will be doing this tomorrow as I am not at home right now and won't be until this time tomorrow. So you will be getting your books tomorrow. Apologies again for the delay but we have no idea what is going on with the backerkit issue.
The physical books should be with me soon, they are due to be printed shortly. The printers have everything they need and I am just waiting for my turn.
Hopefully this puts some of you at ease, I have been getting messages every day regarding info I have been putting in the updates so I know not everyone reads them. But hopefully most of you manage to get this one.
Cheers
