Absolutely. This still needs to be built out across the various rulesets that we support. It will be coming in the future as we add more content and expand the coverage to show linked data such as NPCs, spells, items, etc.

Excellent. This is what I was hoping to hear. Thank you ddavison.

I will continue to wait patiently

Question about the table of contents. Will all of the content eventually have the same left hand sidebar that was shown with the D&D 2024 books that Adam was previewing? It would be nice to have it on the side to just look there and click instead having to click back to the table of contents then look and click again, bouncing back and forth.

Is there any timeline for when products will be added to the reader? I was briefly checking out the reader earlier and I noticed that there were quite a few products that were missing. I imagine that adding products will take time but there were more than a few that were missing that didn't "make sense" given the other products that are available. For example, I own the pre-update version of the Traveller Core bundle on FG. Some of the books (the central supply catalogue, the vehicle handbook) are available in the reader but the others (including the core rules, high guard and the traveller companion) are not available. Similarly, I own the Starfinder Essentials bundle. A few of the books appear but most of the books (including the core rulebook) do not show up for me. Or to take another example, I own each of the 6 PF1E Kingmaker modules in FGU. However, only parts 3-6 can be read using the reader. Part 1 and 2 are nowhere to be seen. Other rulesets (Cyberpunk Red) are missing entirely.

As I shared in another thread, we have around 1,600 of the ~3,500 books from our full catalog available in the reader initially. This was not based on what "makes sense," but rather on the backend module complexity or setup and what would work "out of the box" easier for the reader in its current state. The rest of the catalog will be added over the course of the beta, as will a great deal of refinements to the content that is already there.

And no, we don't have a timeline for when either will be completed, but you'll see rapid iteration and progress in the weeks and months to come.

Not sure what you mean here - all of the books should have the navigation sidebar while you have them open.

That is odd as it was not there before but is now. Like the new login screen by the way.

[ddavison]

The navigation collapses into a smaller menu button if your window width is too small.

Hi,

will you expect (in the fullness of time) for this to also include maps and other images that are presently only there as inactive text links?

Cheers for this update, even as it is it's great!

Yes. Some of the old modules just linked to images. We plan to actually embed the images inline with the text like we do with all the modern modules we release now. It will look like the reference manuals in FG. The maps themselves won't be interactive -- at least for the short-term (1 year or so).
