We have some content for you !
4 months ago – Tue, Dec 12, 2023 at 06:35:40 AM

As some of you might have noticed, we have rolled out the final version of the Almanac Pathfinder 2nd Edition PDF. We added a clickable index and the layout has been modified for ease of navigation. Roughly 2 pages of content have been added, and some content might have been trimmed to accomodate the layout shift. Any content that was removed for the sake of space management (as opposed to removed for design reasons) will be added back in an upcoming Web Enhancement Free PDF somewhere down the road.

We have available a version with integrated image captions compatible with PDF readers for anyone with vision or reading disabilities. Unfortunately, this feature was added just after we sent out the final version, but if you would benefit from it, reach out to us and we will get your copy right away. 

The Almanac has been added to both DriveThru RPG (pending approval) and Itch.io. We are looking for a way (and to make sure this doesn't go against ToS) to provide a free download link on DriveThru for those who like to have their PDF libraries all together. We'll follow up on this once we know more. 

5E Content - The second content Package for Sinclair's Almanac 5th edition was also distributed. For those who backed and pre-ordered on Backerkit, you should find the download link at the same place as the previous ones, and for those who purchased on our website, you will find your download link on your "my account" page. 

VTT Foundry - Our VTT integrator has rolled out a new content update on Foundry for the PF2 content. The package is available to anyone at https://foundryvtt.com/packages/sinclairs-library-playtest

That's it for today. We hope you will appreciate the quality of life of the new PDF on the PF2 side and the new content pack on the 5e side. As always, you can provide feedback, comments, suggestions or ask questions on our Discord channel, our moderators and design team are always available.

Sinclair's Almanac 5E Package 1 is ready !
6 months ago – Fri, Nov 10, 2023 at 04:58:52 PM

Hi everyone, 

The first content package for the Almanac 5th edition is now ready. We will continue to deliver the content through packages like these as it gets laid out.

The downloadable file will be available through backerkit or on your user account page on the Sinclair's Library website depending on where your made your pre-order. 

The PF2 version of the book has received a warm welcome and we hope our 5E community will feel the same about the content our team has created for them. As always, feedback and corrections are always welcome on our Discord server. 

The Sinclair's team.

PF2 - Sinclair's Almanac - v0.9 Sent Through Backerkit
7 months ago – Fri, Oct 06, 2023 at 05:21:45 PM

It's time to open the Almanac.

It has been sent.  The first version of the Sinclair's Almanac book for Pathfinder 2.0, fresh out of layout, has been sent to all backers through Backerkit. This is a preliminary version, as we rushed to get it done as quickly as possible so it could be sent to all our backers and pre-orders. This means, you might find some copy paste errors, some minor typos, and the anchoring of the chapters and hyperlinks towards external sources hasn't been done yet. But all the content is in, and for you to use. We'll be updating the file whenever the polished version is over. 

5th edition Almanac

The conversion for the 5th Edition Almanac is over, and has been sent to layout. The content that was not sent to playtest yet has been divided into 4 packages, which will be released as they are layed out, until the 4th one is finalise and the book compiled together. 

Sinclair's Codex 

Our PF2 layout artist being done with the Almanac, they will now move to the Codex. Just like the 5th Edition Almanac, packages will be released as progress moves forward, until compiled into a finished book. 

Digital Content

As soon as both versions of both books are fully in the hands of our layout artists, the data entering for VTTs will be able to resume and become the priority of the remaining team. The digital content package containing the PNGs and Tokens will be built in the process, and sent to those who opted for it whenever it is ready. 

We hope you will find inspiration for all sorts of new characters, or the missing piece of the puzzle you needed for your existing one in the Almanac, and that you will enjoy it while we get finished with the rest. 

A long overdue update and apology
9 months ago – Thu, Aug 10, 2023 at 10:13:23 AM

Hi everyone, this is the Sinclair’s Library team.

First, we want to start off by apologizing for the lack of communication. This was something we identified as a weakness and had hired someone to assist us. Unfortunately, due to this being the tail end of the project, we could no longer justify including them in the budget. As such, it has fallen to the few of us left to do the communication, and we failed at doing so.

Now the reason we haven’t communicated earlier is quite simply: we don’t have much in the way of actual news. The Almanac is currently in layout, as already announced, and due to a personal crisis for the person hired to do the layout, it has been delayed far longer than we would ideally want. We have decided that respecting the personal time of one of our valued team members meant more than the arbitrary deadline we had set.

The second reason we have not reached out is because we have been “3 days away from completion” for 6 weeks now. Those of you who manage projects professionally will probably be familiar with this strange state of completion. And so, everyday an update was getting more pressing, but everyday was allegedly getting us closer to completion, negating the need for an update, creating a weird paradox.

The short version here is, we messed up, and we are sorry. The Nonat1s channel has always been about transparency and we have every intention for Sinclair to follow the same path. We failed at this objective. All we can do is promise to try and do better in the future.

As far as the books go, three out of the five chapters of the Almanac are laid out. Given the current situation, and past history, giving you a date for its completion would be irresponsible. All we can say is, we are working on it. In the meantime, the rest of the team has been completing, editing and polishing the Codex, which means it should be able to go to layout very closely after the release of the Almanac.

I’d like to close this out by thanking everyone for their patience. We know that it’s not unusual for a Kickstarter to be delayed, but we wanted to be the exception, and we have not lived up to that. The situation with our layout person has been but one of many incidents and complications our staff has had to deal with this year, added to all the management learning curve associated with a project of this size. Our Q1 2023 release objective was optimistic at best, and would have been tight in the best of circumstances. The best of circumstances, we did not get. But know that we are not done. We’re determined to deliver on our promises—if later than any of us wanted—and get these books out. The next you hear from us should be the release of the long overdue Sinclair’s Almanac.
