Hi there, I purchased the book through SoulMuppet and got the PDF directly from them. Is there any way for me to demonstrate this to you and get access to this itch.io version so I can take advantage of the bookmarks update and future improvements you release?
Hello! SoulMuppet have the updated PDF, and you should have a message from them about re-downloading it via their site. Let us know if that hasn't worked for you!
Hi! Is there a list of things that were changed mechanically-wise compared to Blades in the Dark? I would be interested to see this before pulling the trigger on full version
Hello! The very basics are similar to Blades - Position & Effect, the way you roll for Actions, Resistance, Stress, Flashbacks - but above that there are a lot of fairly substantial changes to the structure of the game. We have very different phases to Blades: we have an entire wilderness phase designed to make travel feel much more significant; there's an investigation phase which evokes the sort of procedural sleuthing and tracking of a monster; our downtime phase has very different emphases. There's an extremely silly optional magic system. It's quite a lot. Hope that's a useful answer!
I just finished reading the physical book, so I've not actually played it, but jeez its great! The world is so evocative and presented in such a gameable fashion, it looks absolutely perfect for use at the table. Also the book is beautiful with the maps & illos being uniformly excellent. It's giving me the strongest pull of anything I've read in the last 2 years to dump my The Enemy Within campaign and switch. Argh. (apologies to anyone objecting to me posting this as a comment, but the review functionality on this site is just weird!)
Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear. (And also, as you say, the reviews are hidden for reasons I do not understand, so comments like this are extremely welcome!)
My friend purchased the book for me and I absolutely love the design and concept! I’m excited to try it. I was wondering where I can find the character sheets online to download and print?
Hello! We will soon have a small surplus of physical copies, once the Kickstarter backers have received theirs. We'll update the page when they're available!

Very useful! You got me hooked. Thank you very much for quick answer!
Do you think this game has any chace of getting community copies

Disregard. I found it on this page. Keep up the great work!
Hello, would you happen to have any physical copies lying around? Thanks!

Is there any intention of another print run if we can't get a surplus hardcopy?
Not in the immediate future, I'm afraid. Maybe if we win an award or two and demand increases!
Glad to see that "the immediate future" is c.130 days. V pleased to have a hardcopy.
