Greetings world builders!
Another month has flown by! Welcome to the August update!
Life
This has somehow ended up being the month of tropical diseases running through our kids' nursery - almost every week my family was hit with something quite brutal. That's taken a lot of energy for the past 6 weeks or so and it's meant that I've had a lot of unplanned time off (for myself, and caring for children). So it goes. Everything is still rolling forward though, so let's dive in!
On to the good stuff!
Token boards!
I wanted to give you a sneak peek at some of the token board layouts.
These beasts took quite some time to get laid out correctly - making sure every monster fit onto the boards and as minimal space as possible was wasted, a bit like a horrible version of Tetris. It was no easy task, I can tell you :)
You can see the scale between the different creatures on these boards, with the many Medium (1 inch) creatures compared to the selection of Large (2x2 inches), and Huge (3x3 inches) above.
Can you spot your favourites on there?
I think at the last count we have 180 unique monsters, and most of them have 3 tokens each, and don't forget each monster comes with its own stat/art card for quick reference (if you want to grab any of these extras you can do so here - https://atlas.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders, or send me a private message to ammend your order)!
I truly can't wait to get these onto my own table...I just need to find reasons to use all of the awesome monsters now :D
Beta digital Monster Cards and Encounter Cards will be going out shortly so you can all enjoy those soon. They are 'beta' files as this stage will allow you all to comment on any errors/spelling mistakes/typos that you find via an official contact point, so we can make sure everything is 100% accurate for when manufacturing starts!
More news on that soon!
Digital rewards
Speaking of Digital Rewards - almost all of the digital content has now been distributed (with the card decks queued up and ready for review), so if you wanted to get your hands on any of that with immediate access you can do that by making a new order here https://atlas.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders (or send me a private message and I can add items to your order).

The Shrouded Coast looks like it's going to be an awesome mini-setting adventure zine! Americana has a lot of hidden gems of folklore!

Greetings world builders!
Welcome to another update!
Foundry VTT
This week we distributed all of the Foundry VTT (virtual table top) packs, including; ATLAS Twilight & Dusk packs (100 maps), and Dragon's Hoard Twilight & Dusk packs (500+ maps). These map packs come pre-built with animated dynamic lighting, ambient sounds, and detailed walling, so you can jump your players straight into the story and not worry about the prep!
How do I get them?
Every backer eligable for the Foundry VTT packs will be able to access their unlock key now (via digital downlaods section of Backerkit - you should also have an email with links to this content). Follow the instructions on the Foundry VTT items in your Digital Downloads to install the packs, or follow this guide here - https://foundryvtt.com/article/premium-content/
If you haven't received your Foundry VTT unlock keys via Backerkit - check your emails and look for Backerkit updates from this week, head to Backerkit and check your Digital Downloads section, or reach out to me to check your account.
Absolutely! If you didn't already add the VTT packs to your order there's still time to do so.
You can either -
Make a new order for the VTT packs that you want (Foundry VTT or Roll20, as the core set of 100 maps, or the full set of 500+ Dragon's Hoard maps) via Backerkit here.
or message me directly with clear details of which VTT packs you want (either Foundry VTT, or Roll20, and either the core ATLAS set of 100 maps, or the 500+ Dragon's Hoard pack) and I will add your chosen packs to your order.
Roll20
The Roll20 VTT packs (ATLAS Twilgiht & Dusk, and Dragon's Hoard Twilight & Dusk) will be going out shortly, we've just been waiting for all of the unlock keys to be finalised. You should expect to get these in the next few days if the testing goes well!
Once you do get these you can follow the message instructions to install them directly to your Roll20 account, and enjoy jumping in to pre-made dynamic map content!
General update
I've been meeting with the shipping, freight, and manufacturing companies a lot over the last month - tying up loose ends, filling out forms, sorting out a lot of techincal and logistical plans, and goodness knows what else. There's a lot. We're another step closer to hitting manufacturing, but there's still a little way to go yet.
It's exciting to see these things coming together, and to get an idea of how things will work down the line knowing that we're getting closer and closer to this being a real physical pack we can hold. It seems like a lifetime away, but I know it'll be here in no time!

Foundry VTT (and Roll20) - Let's get dynamic!

Greetings world builders!
Foundry VTT
I was holding out until all of these packs were ready before making this update, but I want to keep you all in the loop and stick to the monthly update schedule.
The builds for the Twilight packs are finished (the core dynamic VTT packs, and the Dragon's Hoard VTT packs), and are VERY close to being ready to send out to you, but need a little more time to finalise the distribution through Foundry VTT and Roll20. Once everything is locked down I'll post another update with the details of how the packs are coming to you. Hopefully this will be in the coming week or two, but I'll let you know asap :)
Here's a little look at the Twilight pack (in Foundry VTT) -
If you backed a tier which qualifies to receive the dynamic VTT packs (either Foundry or Roll20) you will get them very soon, if you didn't add the VTT packs to your order there's still time to do so.
You can either -
Make a new order for the VTT packs that you want (Foundry VTT or Roll20, as the core set of 100 maps, or the full set of 500+ Dragon's Hoard maps) via Backerkit here.
or message me directly with clear details of which VTT packs you want (either Foundry VTT, or Roll20, and either the core ATLAS set of 100 maps, or the 500+ Dragon's Hoard pack) and I will add your chosen packs to your order.
General update
There's been a lot of movement recently with various elements of ATLAS -
The Monster cards are now very nearly finished, with all artwork completed and all stat-blocks very nearly finished. Once these are ready the digital copies will make their way to digital backers.
Here's a little look at some (these aren't yet trimmed into 'card shape', the final versions will have wonderfully curved edges and a nice tactile finish).
A look at some of the big boys
The maps are all ready to go to manufacturing, as are the tokens, the encounters, and the dice. We're nearing that checkpoint now and I couldn't be more excited/scared :D it's a huge step and at that point everything more or less leaves my hands and goes to the trusted folk at the manufacturing facilities to take over. Shortly after that point I'll receive final samples of all physical products, which will then go through a testing and correction phase before hitting the huge red button for manufacturing. Then, of course, we enter the shipping gauntlet. Which I will of course keep you updated with frequently. But this is still a little ways off yet.
Here's a look at a full map, by the way, as I know some of you physical backers are itching to see something in a larger format.
Such a welcoming place...unless you're a Goblin maybe... (City Tavern ground floor)
Anyway, as always, thank you so much for staying tuned and for bringing this incredible project to life in the first place. Keep changing the world!

Greetings world builders!
Twilight - Digital Maps
I've just hit SEND on the Twilight digital map packs, so they'll be flying to you soon!
(This can take around an hour to process, but could take up to 24 hours - I ironed out some bugs from the Dusk distribution so hopefully Twilight will be a smooth delivery.
As last time, these are big files, and as Backerkit has a 250 mb file limit it has been split into 2 separate packs (Twilight parts 1 and 2, and a Twilight VTT pack - note these VTT files are not pre-built VTT maps, but compressed Twilight maps more suitable for using on online virtual tabletops).
Just 8 of the 50 maps from Twilight!
If you backed a tier which qualifies to receive the digital maps you will find the downloads are available in your Backerkit account - if you haven't received your Twilight links in the next 24 hours, and you are a Digital reward backer, let me know and I'll look into it
Getting your files
Go to Backerkit, log in as a backer, and head to your digital downloads section. You'll see a digital downloads tab under your order, and you can find your Dusk files here.
City Tavern (Twilight) and City Docks (Dusk) spotlights
Want more? Can't wait til ATLAS #2 (not formally announced, but is already in the early stages of production)?
If you want to stay ahead of the curve and expand your map collection even more, you can become a Moonlight Maps patron and get instant access to the newest maps, custom encounters, & pre-built Foundry VTT content, every week!
Project we love - Blade Runner - the roleplaying game
I'm certainly not alone in my love for Blade Runner, and now with the opportunity to live in that world?!.....I'M IN!!
This is the BLADE RUNNER Roleplaying Game. A neon noir wonderland that will take your breath away. One way or another. An evocative world of conflicts and contrasts that dares to ask the hard questions and investigate the powers of empathy, the poisons of fear, and the burdens of being human during inhumane times. An iconic and unforgiving playground of endless possibilities that picks you up, slaps you in the face, and tells you to wake up.
The Dusk of a new age....wait....no.... (new digital reward available!)

Dusk - Digital Maps
I've just sent the Dusk digital map packs on to their new homes...WITH YOU! (This can take around an hour to process, but could take up to 24 hours, so go make a nice warm beverage if they aren't with you right away).
Now, these are some big files, and as Backerkit has a 250 mb file limit it has been split into 4 separate packs (Dusk parts 1 through 4, and a Dusk VTT pack - note these VTT files are not pre-built VTT maps, but compressed Dusk maps more suitable for using on online virtual tabletops). If you backed a tier which qualifies to receive the digital maps you will find the downloads are available in your Backerkit account.
Dusk flippety-flip
Getting your files
Go to Backerkit, log in as a backer, and head to your digital downloads section. You'll see a digital downloads tab under your order, and you can find your Dusk files here.
Coming soon - Twilight Mappacks!
That's right, the whole set will soon be with you!
