Indigo Isles & Roll20 Update
about 2 years 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!
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!
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.

What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been
Hazzah! The initial pre-release is complete!
After what seems like thousands of hours of writing, editing, testing, proofreading, design, and more, the Jewel of the Indigo Isles for Pathfinder has been released to backers!
Multiple files were released to Backers this morning, please note what's included in this release (all are PDF only):
Jewel of the Indigo Isles PF2 Pre-Release v1 -- 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). This product is not yet complete and missing the second and third adventures (levels 4-11), but will be updated over time and has enough information for GMs to run the first adventure. As the next two adventures are completed, this PDF will be updated and provided to you automatically. The next two adventures should be completed and released well before anyone can finish running the first adventure.
Indigo Isles Character Guide PF2 Pre-Release v1 -- This is the pre-release version of the Indigo Isles Character Guide. 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. This product is not yet complete and missing some sections, but will be updated over time and has enough information for players to use right away to build and run a character native to the Indigo Isles.
Jewel of the Indigo Isles Player's Guide PF2 v1 -- This is a free player's guide and should be final. 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 v1 -- This is the pre-release version of the Jewel of the Indigo Isles Interactive Maps.

As of now, only the Pathfinder version has been released to Backers. We will be working on the 5E version as well (as it's complete) and expect to release the same files for 5E backers in the near future.
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.
We will be continuing to edit and update these files until the entire adventure is complete. This initial push was the most difficult and time-consuming aspect of the project. We will continue to keep everyone updated on the progress and look forward to seeing the 5E version and the Pathfinder pre-release version 2 shortly.

Dragons for PF2 Shipping, Jewel Preview, Kickstarter Ends Tomorrow
about 2 years ago
– Thu, Aug 25, 2022 at 08:11:42 PM
As we mentioned earlier in the week, the Battlezoo Ancestries:Dragons for Pathfinder hardcover book has begun shipping to everyone. For those who pre-ordered multiple items, such as the BattlezooBestiary, stickers, dice case, pins, or other items, those will be included in your shipment as well. We appreciate your patience in getting these books.
As for the Battlezoo Ancestries:Dragons for 5th Edition hardcover book, we expect that to arrive in October, and we will ship them as soon as they arrive.
And for those of you who also ordered Jewel of the Indigo Isles hardcover, you can write us via direct message on Kickstarter, and we can work with you on setting up split shipping, where you will get the above items sent right away and the Jewel book once it arrives. Just write us via Kickstarter to work this out!
Jewel of the Indigo Isles Preview
As we have been mentioning for quite some time, we were waiting on some maps to be completed for the adventure. We have received those maps and are in the process of running through the final proofreading of the first adventure, Search for the Missing Map, by Patrick Renie. And just to help put people's minds at ease, here is a quick preview of the intro to the adventure. So very light spoilers ahead! :)
Light spoilers ahead for those who want to enter the adventure fresh! :)
I realize that this has been a long wait for many people, but I promise you it will be worth it in the end. The maps are of the highest quality I have ever seen in any adventure ever produced (and I'm not just saying that, just wait until you see them), we have hundreds upon hundreds of illustrations, and the quality of the adventure itself has been receiving with rave reviews by the initial playtesters.
In total, we have spent several thousands of hours (if not tens of thousands of hours) working on this adventure to make sure it is one of the best adventurers you have ever seen. All of this time and effort has allowed us to fine-tune the adventure and make it just that much better via playtesting and feedback, and we truly think it will be worth the wait.
We are in the home stretch here and will start to release the adventures as they are completed as PDFs to all backers so that they can begin to read them and even start the adventure right away if they wish. As each adventure is completed, we will release them to the backers, and then finally, the completed book will then be printed and shipped to everyone.
Our Latest Kickstarter Ends This Friday
Just another reminder that our latest Kickstarter ends this Friday. We are well ahead of schedule in producing the content for this Kickstarter, and now that we have Mark Seifter onboard full time, he can assist in providing regular updates and content for everyone who backed both this Kickstarter and our next!
As usual, you can expect the highest quality artwork and writing in all of our books, and we made sure to add some amazing content you simply won't find anywhere else! Where else can you either play a monster PC, train monsters to fight for you, hunt monsters for strange and unusual parts for your weapons and gear, or slowly transform yourself into a monster with a new subclass/archetype?
Where else will you get the chance to play a Dryad Barbarian?
There should be something in here for everyone, and the Eldamon Battles card game is also coming along as well. And if you back the Kickstarter, you can participate in the playtest of the Eldamon Battles card game as well.
For those who are interested in how this game will work, here is a sneak preview of Eldamon Battles with Mark and Linda!
We truly hope that if you enjoy the books we have released to date that you will back this Kickstarter so that we can continue to create awesome books for all of your 5th Edition and Pathfinder games!
As always, if you have any questions about this Kickstarter or any other of our products, please let us know, and we will be happy to answer them!
