Follow-Up on Feedback and Next Steps

Hi everyone,
I want to follow up on my previous update and address a concern I’ve seen raised in several messages.
I understand that some of you feel your feedback has been ignored, and I want to speak to that directly.
I’ve read all of the feedback we’ve received. In many cases, the feedback is conflicting, which means not every suggestion can be implemented. Other requests would require a significant amount of additional work, and at some point we had to draw a line to ensure the project could be completed and delivered.
That said, your feedback has not been dismissed. It has informed many of the decisions we’ve made, even if the results don’t always align with every individual request.
Now that I have more time, I’m happy to engage more directly and provide context for specific decisions. If you have questions or want to better understand the reasoning behind something, please feel free to fill out the form here.
Thank you again for your continued support.

Secrets and Myths Clarification + Upcoming Revisions
7 months ago
– Sun, Mar 22, 2026 at 08:15:38 AM
Hi,
I’ve seen several messages calling out changes to the Secrets and Myths section, so I want to provide some context.
When I started work on the Remaster, my original plan was to make deeper revisions to existing content. Very early on, I realized that approach was risky. It would likely introduce mistakes and, more importantly, change elements that people already loved.
So I made a conscious decision to shift direction: focus on adding new material and fixing clear issues, while avoiding changes to lore. The goal was simple: do no damage.
Unfortunately, the changes to Secrets and Myths were among the earliest made, before I fully committed to that approach. No editing pass would have caught them, because I was the only one who would have known that the changes were a problem. And to be completely honest, I had forgotten I made those changes, since they run counter to the approach I adopted afterward.
That’s on me.
I appreciate everyone calling it out.
I’ll be reverting this section back to the original version. We’ll release an updated PDF, and all printed copies will include these reversions as well.

New Species Art: Automatos
Hi All,
We’re putting the final touches on the PDFs for Odyssey of the Dragonlords, The Great Labors, and the map pack, and will be sharing them by this Sunday (March 22).
This is a few days later than we initially expected, and we appreciate your patience as we complete final proofreading and polish.
These represent near-final versions, and we’ll continue refining the files before print and provide updated PDFs as improvements are made.
The books will move into print production once the remaining graphic design work is complete on the Heroes Handbook and Reavers of Oath and Ruin.
Thank you again for your continued support. We’re in the final stretch and excited to share these with you very soon.
Best regards,
The Arcanum Worlds Team

Hi All,
We’ve had several backers ask if they could start using some of the battle maps while final PDF layout is underway.
We’re happy to share a set of Early Access Battle Maps as a preview. These maps are fully playable and representative of the final content, though minor changes may still occur before final release.
Think of this as a glimpse of what’s coming while we finish polishing the books. These maps will also be included in the final PDFs. All backers should receive this download through BackerKit. We hope you enjoy using them at the table!
