Unfortunately not -- it's only accessible through a desktop browser. 

That's a good idea! I'll mock up a preview of how the volumes are divided and add that to the screenshots. Once I have enough of the region maps completed, I'll also add them to the preview images, and maybe provide them as a free demo as well. Stay tuned!

Great question! A denizen is an inhabitant or frequent visitor to a location, so it's intentionally vague. It could include Firstborn (oracle included) or any Ironlanders you might encounter in that region. In the latter case, I'd use an Ironsworn oracle such as Character Role. 

It could also be locals from specific settlements. For instance, if there's a steading called Redwick closeby, then wardens and travelers from Redwick are probably a common sighting, whereas Ironlanders from Broken Shield, a steading upriver in a neighboring region, may only travel through occasionally. 

The region could be on the path to a sacred site, with Iron Priests passing through on pilgrimage. Or, you may need to keep watch for threats like Raiders, legendary beasts rumored to lair nearby, or Horrors which have been appearing with increasing frequency in recent days. 

The Denizens matrix is a flexible, custom oracle suited to each region, and depends heavily on the fiction of your Ironlands. The instructions also suggest "matrix interactions" — tying certain results to other matrices or oracles to produce unexpected results. For example:

You're pressing on, trying to reach Redwick before nightfall, and see a figure's silhouette on the ridge. It's probably a warden, another traveler,  or even one of the firstborn, but you roll on the matrix to find out for sure. You roll 83: Rare, and decide to write in "Firstborn" and then roll on the oracle as you call out to the stranger. You get a 48—the stranger's silhouette suddenly straightens to almost giant-height, its long limbs unmistakable—it's a troll! What is it doing so far from the Flooded Lands? ...

I hope that helps!

Fix is live in version 0.2. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know! I didn't realize this, and I'll definitely correct it. I was curious so I did a bit of research, and sure enough there are some strange quirks to how Itch.io handles ratings nad reviews. Apparently "reviews" aren't public and ratings are only there to drive algorithm traffic. Not how I'd do things (and contrary to how we're accustomed to things working on online marketplaces) but oh well. Now I know! Cheers

Thanks, so glad to hear you're enjoying it!

Thanks so much for your kind words! You Shed More Light and rolled a strong hit, so the community takes +1 freebie.

Love the game, just nabbed the updated player kit. Got one burning question: how is "Agon" officially pronounced? Is it like "wagon" or "uh gone"?

Thanks for asking! I did all the artwork myself, actually.

Hey there Belters! If the Concordat's listenin' in on this channel, I'm askin' for a friend, but — what happens if reach 10 debt? I reckon the ship would be impounded by the bank and my friend would end up an indentured debtor in some bleak corner of civilization... 

May 'haps the handbook ain't overly clear, or my friend ain't overburdened with an abundance of schoolin', but either way I expect the bank's none too keen on spelling out the particulars in the brochure. 

Or maybe the Concordat's smiling benevolence is kind enough to cap a Belter's debt to 100 creds, so long as we can pull enough salvage to keep flyin'? My friend and I would be shocked but not sorry to hear it.

While it's possible to edit a Google Sheet offline, some of the Crew Sheet's features will only function when you're online (such as the Oracle sidebar). Offline use hasn't been tested extensively, since one of the main goals of the Crew Sheet is to provide multiplayer support, which is only accomplished while more than one user is online editing the shared document.

Sure! It's simply a grid of cells that you can format to visually represent a sector map. Here's an early example from one of my solo games:  

It's certainly not the most elegant solution, but it does the trick for now. Sector maps are certainly on my list of things I plan to improve! If you have any suggestions/requests, let me know!

I’d love to hear what you think! Have fun!

Glad to hear it!

Thanks for letting me know! I've updated the view permissions. This link should work for you: click here

Version 2.5 update is live! You can find the devlog here. I think you'll be pleased with the new Truths sheet, and I also added a Moves reference sidebar that I'm really excited about. I'm currently experimenting with how I want to implement Oracles. Cheers!

Thanks, and your feedback's always welcome! I know that the preferred methods and tools for logging adventures are as diverse as players. It's a good idea, and I'll give it some thought. If I find a way to create a built-in session log (captain's log? :P) that is slick enough that I'd want to use it myself, then I'd consider adding it. Generally, I try to avoid bloating the playkit with tools that don't improve on what's available elsewhere (such as using Google Docs, for instance). 

Looks like this URL doesn't play nice with the IMAGE formula. As a rule of thumb, generally the URL needs to end with the file extension (e.g. ".jpg" or ".png"). The documentation for the formula specifically states: "You can only use URLs that aren't hosted at drive.google.com." If that seems silly, trust me--I agree! You can learn more here.

Whenever I need to get a permalink from hosted images, I usually use Imgur or Google Photos, which both allow you to right click > copy image address.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for letting me know! I'm looking into it.

I’m so glad you like it, and I appreciate your feedback!

This functionality was added in v2.4! You can now select assets from a dropdown! 🥳

Great idea! I'll keep this in mind for future updates!

Correct--currently, assets are added manually. Adding dropdown functionality is planned for a later version! It wasn't added initially because the CC license wasn't available yet when the sheet was first developed (during the Kickstarter campaign).
