Hail and well met Spacers!

Today, I come bearing the fruits of almost a years labour, forged in the fires of late nights, early mornings, and a rather unsafe amount of caffeine. At some point around the time of this update (give or take 12 hours if the PDF is still processing) you will be receiving email notification of a new digital download available for this project! This PDF is the Beta PDF of the book and contains over two hundred and fifty pages of of the book for you to peruse, pick apart, and immediately break!

BETA PDF: What to expect

• The Ship System. The ship system itself, alongside the ship-scale stat blocks aren't present within this version. This is due to a bit of a balancing hiccup that we encountered putting all of the various subsystems, upgrades, and final abilities into place that we want to do some more internal testing on first. But not to worry! An updated version of the BETA PDF with the FULL ship system will be coming at the end of October (just over 2 weeks from when this update goes out), this gives us plenty of time to give things one last proper going over before handing it over to you gremlins to immediately break again!
• Appendices & Contents. The appendices and glossary at the end of the book aren't present yet either, but this is by design. We want the appendices to be reflections of what you feel like you need to run or play in Lodestar, we have a number of ideas already but if there's guidance on a specific process you feel the book would benefit from we'd love to hear it! Also the index relies on specific page numbers to actually function and since any additions or corrections throughout testing might shift those around we'll be adding that last! (and the exact same applies to the full contents page!)
• Art. Finally, and probably most noticeably, most of the art isn't present within the book, this is due to a couple of reasons: we're still waiting on a few commissioned art pieces to come back, but also settling the pieces into the page requires Conor knowing exactly how much room he has to work with. Shifting or wrapping text from corrections could throw all of that out of wack just for him to have to do that work again. The only other thing to mention is that a few placeholder pieces might remain (looking at you space kraken) in there, but don't fret about notifying us on those! They'll get replaced very soon.
