 Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons for 5E Hardcover Book is Shipping Now!

It might not look like much, but those are the Dragon 5E books in the warehouse!

It's been a long couple of months, but the Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons for 5E Hardcover book just arrived in the warehouse! So what does that mean exactly?

  •  We now have everything in the warehouse except the Jewel of the Indigo Isles Hardcover book. That we don't expect to be completed and in the warehouse until early next year. 
  •  If you ordered the Dragons 5E book along with anything else EXCEPT the Jewel of the Indigo Isles hardcover book for Pathfinder or 5E, your will ship over the next few weeks. Please be patient as we get all the orders out, as there are a lot.
  • If you ordered the Jewel of the Indigo Isles hardcover book along with other items but don't wish to wait, you can reach out to us and have what is in the warehouse shipped to you right away. This is called "split shipping," where we split your shipments into two shipments.
  •  Depending upon where you live and the weights of the orders, there may be an extra charge for split shipping. We will let you know after we look at your order.
  •  Due to the holidays and just general insanity, it might take me a day or two to get back to you. If you don't hear back from me in a few days about split shipping, just send me another message, and I'll be sure to get back to you on the options!

And with this book, we are that much closer to completing this Kickstarter in its entirety!

Indigo Isles & Roll20 Update
over 1 year ago – Sat, Oct 15, 2022 at 04:19:02 AM

Jewel of the Indigo Isles Adventure #2, Voyage to Runaway Reef, Has Been Released for Pathfinder!

The second Jewel of the Indigo Isles Adventure has been released for Pathfinder! BTW... you want to buy a chicken?

There was another update this morning for all people who pre-ordered the PATHFINDER Jewel of the Indigo Isles Pathfinder adventure path. The second adventure has been completed a new files were released to everyone. These files are:

  •  Jewel of the Indigo Isles PF2 Pre-Release v2 (283 pages) -- This is the pre-release version of the Jewel of the Indigo Isles adventure. It contains the entirety of the first adventure (levels 1-4) AND the second adventure (levels 5-8). This product is not yet complete and missing the final adventure (levels 9-11), but will be updated over time and has enough information for GMs to run quite a bit! FYI the initial adventure is 99% the same as the prior version, there were some small spelling and text changes, but nothing significant if you were using the prior version. Oh yeah, and we finally included a two-page write-up on Old Woody! 
  •  Indigo Isles Character Guide PF2 Pre-Release v2 (94 pages) -- There are two new updates to this file -- six new specific familiars native to the Indigo Isles and 28 pages outlining the faith system found in the world of the Alacar, The Balance. Personally, I think the information on The Balance is one of the best and most interesting things we have ever written, and I can't wait to see what people think of these gods and The Balance.
  •  Jewel of the Indigo Isles Player's Guide PF2 v2 (31 pages)-- This is a free player's guide and had some very minor spelling updates; otherwise, it's the same as before. This free guide is full of build advice for your character and a treasure trove of information that residents know about the city of Rumplank. Anyone can download and use this guide, so feel free to distribute it to your players.
  •  Jewel of the Indigo Isles Interactive Maps Pre-Release v2 (23 pages)-- This is the pre-release version of the Jewel of the Indigo Isles Interactive Maps. It contains the entirety of the first adventure (levels 1-4) and the second adventure (levels 5-8). This product is not yet complete and missing the final adventure (levels 9-11), but will be updated over time and has enough information for GMs to run the first adventure. You can use this product to view all the maps from the first adventure with all map information intact, with or without tags, with or without grids, and with or without tags and grids.

We expect there will be one more release, the final adventure, and then this should be complete for Pathfinder. It will probably be a bit longer before the final adventure is completed as that adventure is the largest and most complex adventure, but we are hard at work finalizing this adventure.

Since these are pre-release versions, if you find something that should be adjusted within these files, please let us know on the Roll for Combat Discord on the Indigo Isles channel.

Jewel of the Indigo Isles 5e Update

So now that the Pathfinder version is nearing completion, what about the 5e version? As we mentioned before, the writing and playtesting of this version are nearly complete, and we are working on the layout of these files currently. We will be releasing these files as PDFs in the same order as the Pathfinder versions, with the first adventure released initially (levels 1-4), then the second adventure (levels 5-7), and then finally, the last adventure (levels 8-11). We expect these to be released within the next few weeks.

We will also be releasing the Indigo Isles Character Guide 5E as well as the Free Player's Guide 5E, so be on the lookout for those!

Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons 5E for Roll20 Out Now!

Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons 5th Edition for Roll20 is Out Now!

We also released Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons 5E for Roll20 this morning! You can purchase this today and start playing with dragons in your Roll20 game right now!

For those people who pre-ordered this module during the Kickstarter, we are waiting for the codes from Roll20 and will send those out to everyone as soon as they arrive (should be any minute/day now, just waiting for Roll20 to get those to us).

For those waiting for the Pathfinder version of Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons for Roll20, we expect this to go live within the next two weeks.

If you are interested in this, please contact us, and we will work out the details with you. In the meantime, please be patient as the Jewel of the Indigo Isles is massive and will be well worth the wait (we are nearly at 300 pages for chapters 1-8... and chapters 9-12 are the largest by far, so who knows what size this book will end up at?).

Here is a small sneak preview of some of the gods from The Balance. I am very excited for you to check this out as I believe people will be very excited to read and try these gods out in your games as they are unlike anything you have seen before! Enjoy!

One of the many gods of The Balance!

The next two adventures should be completed and released well before anyone can finish running the first adventure.

It is intended for players to use when building characters to run for the Jewel of the Indigo Isles campaign or any other Pathfinder campaign.
