How come why you didn't include the creative Commons attribution share alike license in the rulebooks for this game?

I forgot! 

I will edit to fix it later (along with fixing a couple typos that remained from the older version and fixing the index)

thank you

Is the black salt temple rar supposed to be just the three files? It doesn't even have the legend that the version used as a preview does.

The .rar file only includes the map PNGs as exported from Dungeon Scrawl, for use with VTTs and stuff like that. The module itself with the room key comes bundled at the end of the of the full game's PDF (just like the starter dungeon from Mörk Borg does, I was trying to mimic that 😅)

Now that you mention it, I should probably edit the images to include the map legend too.

I didn't even think to look back there! I was just scanning over the table of contents and didn't see it; the discrepancy in page numbers didn't even stand out to me! That makes much more sense, thank you.

Ooof yeah I sorta forgot to update the table of contents to include the stuff exclusive to the paid version, I'll update that when I can, thanks for reminding me!

Rarely see a souls hack that gets me excited to play. Really impressed with the product and was excited to support the creator.
