Ancient here to provide another good & bad update:
The bad: Book is still not fully laid out/ready for printer. 2025 has been a tough year for my household, and it has been a lot to deal with. Not going to get into specifics publicly, but it has been hard to be in the creative headspace. If you'd like to know more, feel free to reach out to me via Discord DM or e-mail and I'll be happy to share more. The important part is we are pushing forward as best we can during this time. And that brings us on to.....
The good: Work is still going, slowly but steadily when I can manage it. Here are a couple new layout previews that I recently completed;
Character Advancement Page (background elements will be replaced with real art in final version)
Character Advancement Page Mock-Up
Chaos Magic — Learned Magic Section Comparison (empty area in the Chaos Magic section will have art in the final version)
Chaos vs Learned theme
The future: Due to everything, I will have to say that our new ETA will just be some time by the end of the year. With how things have been, I am quite hesitant to give another concrete date that may be missed again.
We sincerely apologize for the delays, but please know that The Entropic Isle is still very much being worked on and will eventually be in your hands!
Hey there, I'm extremely apologetic about the lack of official updates on here. Progress has been much slower than anticipated, so there hasn't been much to update. Turns out layout takes a while! Especially when you're learning as you go.
With progress as slow as it is, there is still good news!
The book's writing was 100% completed some time ago and an updated plain text version is in the works.
Layout for the actual book is ~40% complete, coming along slow but great.
Book printer has already been chosen(PrintNinja) and print order has been paid for.
Here are some of the spread previews I've shared on the discord, for those of you who haven't had a chance to look:
I'm anticipating sometime in May to be our new printing time frame, with shipping happening shortly thereafter.
I'm so sorry about the lack of updates and the slow progress, but I'm working my hardest to provide a great book that meets my vision even if it takes a bit longer to achieve.
Thank you for your patience and thank you again so much for support this project
I just sent out the first wave of surveys, the smoke screen to catch any potential errors. This was sent to 5% of people in each pledge level, so if you did not get yours, do not worry! The rest of the surveys will be going out in roughly 24 hours.
The Entropic Isle Playtest Material.zip has been uploaded for anyone who has the PDF of the book in their order, which is everyone pretty much. So look out for this as well! It should be presented to you as part of the survey process.
If you complete your survey but do not get access to the playtest download, please reach out and let me know! I will try to work quickly to correct it and ensure everyone who should receives it!
The LOOT THE CORPSE pdf is nearing completion as well, so early bird backers, keep an eye out for updates regarding that!
Thank you again for all the support and your patience as we square things away!
It has been a week since the campaign ended and just wanted to give a small update and how things are going!
• Surveys have been set up, reviewed and approved! Surveys are expected to be on time, and will be sent out next week (9/6)!
• Wight Mage, Shadow Knight, Slugger Saint and archetypes have been written and added to the playtest document! Wight Mage and Slugger Saint are from our first stretch goal and Shadow Knight is a custom archetype collaboration with Cypher Unlimited's very own Alphadean! These archetypes were a blast to write and should be a lot of fun to play!
• The playtest document will be worked into a plaintext PDF! The original plan was to only release it as a .txt file, but PDFs are too darn useful to not have on hand. When you receive your playtest document, it will be as a .txt file AND a PDF, so you can enjoy The Entropic Isle however you prefer!
Thank you again for supporting this project, we are super excited for people to get their playtest document and to hear stories from their games!
