Latest Updates from Our Project:

January 2024 Update
over 2 years ago – Tue, Jan 23, 2024 at 11:11:20 AM

Hello Argonauts,

Welcome to our first update of 2024! Hopefully our updates this year will see step-by-step progress on our rewards as we get further into 2024.

I'll continue to post updates each month so that we're all on the same page and watching Onyx Path slowly move our rewards along the progress track.




If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com



REWARDS STILL PENDING


So our main Stretch Goal reward, the Aegis Atlas, has had some forward movement over the year end and is now in approvals. Once the Onyx Path team gives it the green light, it'll go for another round of development before heading to editing. Our main book is still in the post-editing development phase.

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDING

We’re all out of the traditionally-printed copies of several of our core rulebooks from previous crowdfunding campaigns. So we’re going back for more!

This should help us fund a new print run for:

  • You, if you back this. Fulfillment, probably later this year. No development needed, just printing.
  • Other campaigns: we like adding core rulebooks as add-ons to other campaigns (we did a bunch of those on this campaign too!), and this helps us keep doing that.
  • Retailers: Put our games in front of other faces at physical game stores!

The books have all received minor edits to fix a few errors we’ve noticed over the years. This Friday's Onyx Pathcast will talk about these books and the possible minor edits that are being worked on. You can check out the campaign for one more week <here>.

December '23 Update
over 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 14, 2023 at 11:27:38 AM

Hello Argonauts,

Squeezing in our regular month end update for the holiday season is in full swing. Everything's pretty quiet in December, so no big changes for this month. Hopefully we'll see some fun stuff happening in 2024.

I've got one reward available to backers who added on the Trinity Continuum: Anima PDF during the campaign or in the Pledge Manager. The discounted Print-on-Demand links are now available in your BackerKit Digital Rewards page! Not a major reward, but one more little piece checked off the list.

FINAL HOURS

Never before has Creation known the perils of the Abyssal Exalted. They have emerged from the gloom of the Underworld as champions of death, sworn to the service of the Deathlords and the Neverborn. Each was offered the gift of the Bleak Exaltation at the moment of their own demise, and each chose to willingly become an agent of the apocalypse. Their motivations are as manifold as any others — they may seek destruction or domination, malice or justice, ancient secrets hidden and forbidden or sheer iron-willed survival.

In service to their lieges, these deathknights will grind the Underworld to heel and scour life from the face of Creation. Or…they might break from those oaths and set themselves up as death’s own Lawgivers, ruling empires of the dead as sages, arbiters, and reapers. All that can be known for sure is that with the Abyssal Exalted loosed upon the world, it will never be the same again.



November '23 Update
over 2 years ago – Tue, Nov 28, 2023 at 10:48:41 AM

Hello Argonauts,

As noted last month, I'll be sending a quick progress report at the end of each month, to keep us all on the same page. Regular communication should be constant and consistent, and that means I'll have a bunch of boring updates and every once-in-a-while something cool for you.

But this is a boring one. Ha!

So let's get right to our regular review for November.


If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com



REWARDS STILL PENDING


Some movement on our Stretch Goal supplement, the Aegis Atlas. Last month we showed that the writers were in the middle of the revision process, going back and forth with the developers and incorporating their "redline" suggestions. Now the manuscript is finished with the writers and back in the hands of the Developers where they take it and turn all of the different parts into one cohesive whole. 


REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS



Our first round of rewards was distributed back in September. These were the existing PDFs and digital rewards that were Add Ons and options during the pledging process. If you had these as part of your Rewards List, you can find your redemption links in your BackerKit digital rewards page.

October '23 Monthly Update
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 25, 2023 at 11:14:25 AM

Hello Argonauts,

MONTHLY UPDATES

This is officially the first "regular" monthly update for our project. I'll send these updates out every month to let you know where we sit. We're still in the earliest stages of this post-campaign, where projects make incremental movements along the progress path. A lot of months will be pretty similar, just a quick note to let you know that the Onyx Path team is still working on it. Any time we have a new reward or something of interest to share, I'll include that as well.

At the end of each month, I'll include a summary of our rewards and their current status (they'll either be delivered or marked as still pending, possibly with additional details if I know more). I'll also list any relevant Update posts, in case you want to go back and check into something.

It's been just over a month since I announced Pledge Manager surveys were going out. Check out our previous update if you need to refresh your memory. We're just about at the 90% response marker, so most of you have confirmed your selections and collected any available rewards. Thanks!

For the remaining 10%, you can get a refreshing on filling in your survey <here>. We utilize BackerKit for all of our reward fulfillment, so it's important that you visit the page at some point to ensure it's all set up correctly for you.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com



REGULAR MONTHLY UPDATES

As mentioned, each month, I'll list our "Pending" rewards and our "Delivered" rewards. We'll track the project status of our pending rewards by filling in the stage dots, and I'll note which update (and include a link) with each delivered reward, in case you want to go back and re-read the relevant update for more information. If any of these rewards were on your pledge list, you can access download codes in your BackerKit Digital Rewards page. And once they've been added to your DriveThruRPG library, you can access them through your DTRPG digital library at any time.

REWARDS STILL PENDING


So, still in the very earliest stages. Our main reward, the Trinity Continuum: Aegis book, is in post-editing development. This means the book has gone through the major editing process, but final tweaks and changes are incorporated by the developers to ensure the book speaks in one voice and is consistent throughout.

Really exciting to see our main Stretch Goal project, the Aegis Atlas supplement, has already had writers submit their first drafts! Now the developer is working on redlines - revisions and instructions for the writers to incorporate as they work towards their final draft and hand it off to the development team.

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDING

The World Below is a game of adversity, heroism, terror, and awe. Your characters will overcome or be defeated by terrible beasts, environmental calamities, and Kaos storms ravaging their surroundings and the souls around them. They will chart their journeys, chronicle their tales, and pass their stories down to their descendants, who will in turn become your characters when your old ones perish or retire.

The World Below provides. But you must dig. You must explore. You must map. You must build. You must defend.

The World Below provides, but only to the worthy. 
The unworthy fall, consumed by bugs, lava, acidic fog, the vagaries of Kaos, and the World Below’s convulsing tunnels.

The World Below is your home, your prison, and your alien world containing terrible threats and wondrous discoveries.

The World Below is a complete tabletop roleplaying game, and includes:

  • Numerous playable options, some from the traditional fantasy mold, others unique to the World Below.
  • The complete Storypath Ultra System, allowing you to play this game straight from the book.
  • A myriad of settings, monsters, powers, and abilities for use in your stories, which you can play as minimalist dungeon crawls or World Below-spanning expeditions.

Come Join Us in The World Below!


Rewards: Existing Digital Add Ons Going Out!
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Sep 28, 2023 at 07:28:23 AM

Hello Argonauts,

It's just been a bit since we started the Pledge Manager survey process and we've got just about 85% answered now. That means there are still some Argonauts out there who haven't clicked their link yet - please do so as soon as you can.

Hopefully some reward distribution will help Inspire you! Because I've got some rewards to send out!



If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com


DIGITAL REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Many of the rewards for our Crowdfunding projects take a lot of time and effort to complete. Usually, the campaign is a means of moving the project from an idea (even when it's a mostly-fully-written idea) into the actual channel that turns it into a project/product. It'll be a while before we're ready to talk about delivery on  Trinity Continuum: Aegis, and even longer for our projects generated via Stretch Goals (the Aegis Atlas supplement, and the rest).

That said, there are a few rewards that are available now, as they were mostly add-on PDFs or bundles of existing products. And now we can work on getting those out to you over the weekend.

The following Add On Rewards Will Be Distributed This Week:

  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum Core Rulebook PDF (and discounted PoD Link)
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum: Aberrant PDF (and discounted PoD Link)
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum: Æon PDF (and discounted PoD Link)
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum: Adventure! PDF (and discounted PoD Link)
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum: Assassins PDF (and discounted PoD Link)
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum: Anima PDF
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum: Aether Draft Manuscript Link
  • [Add On] Trinity Continuum Player's Guide Draft Manuscript Link
  • [Add On] Contemporary PDF Bundle
  • [Add On] Aberrant PDF Bundle
  • [Add On] Æon PDF Bundle

It's a big list, and a really really long list once I broke out all of the pieces for the various bundles. A *lot* of download codes to go out, possibly the most I've ever had to set up.

If you want any of these and didn't add them on during the campaign, you can still update your BackerKit page and add them to your rewards list. See the BackerKit How-To instructions above.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim these digital rewards will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next few days. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the hosts for these, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.ph





The best way to ensure these redemption codes work smoothly is to log in to your DTRPG account first, and then click (or copy) the link shown in your BackerKit.

Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for these rewards over the next 2-3 days if any of them are on your expected list of rewards. I'll be releasing them in waves, so don't panic if you only see a couple links at first... the rest are coming. (We're in a digital world, but there are still a lot of manual processes. And there are many links to go out!!)

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.

DRAFT MANUSCRIPT

In addition to redemption links for these digital rewards, all backers will be receiving a link to the compiled draft manuscript. This link can be found in your BackerKit digital rewards page, and you'll receive an e-mail linking to that with the first wave of rewards going out. Again, this isn't a new manuscript, it's just all of the pieces we shared during the campaign put together in order. It's the same link that I share at the bottom of these campaign updates, but I want to make sure you have access to it in any place that makes sense.

COMMUNICATION

I'll be back at the end of October with the first of our regular status report updates. We'll track the progress of each project on a monthly basis to ensure we're all on the same page. It'll be pretty repetitive, and mostly just a note that everything's still being worked on, but I want to ensure communication is consistent throughout this stage of the project.
