Hi! Thanks for such a speedy response. This is meant to be a gift, so I'm trying to be extra careful haha. Are the printable token sheets not necessary for making the map? As well as the badges? Are the templates also there to help out with first playthroughs? I have to admit I haven't read through the entire rulebook, so I might be mistaken.
Not a problem! I appreciate you asking these questions because it means others probably have them too, and I need to organize all this better.
There is a lot of extra content in there for people who want to make their own props to print (such as making their own creature cards, or pre-made Camper/Spirit cards). That’s what the templates are all there for.
You can absolutely print token sheets and badges for use on the maps and character sheets!
In the rules we encourage people to draw, sketch, and color on the maps, but supply the token sheets for people who would rather cut and paste those on the map instead.
We’ve had many players who draw their earned badges on their character sheet, but we provide the badge sheet to print out and use. Also, we offer a sticker sheet for the badges players can peel and stick onto their character sheets as they earn them.
