May 2021 Update
almost 3 years ago
– Sun, May 30, 2021 at 09:25:08 PM
Hello Heirs & Salutations Scions,
In these final days of May it's time for our regular month end status updates. I'll post these at the end of every month to review our project list and highlight any important news, both regarding the games and associated projects, as well as related items from Onyx Path.
Which, of course, brings me to my first topic!
ONYX PATH VIRTUAL GAMING CONVENTION
Before I review our reward status, let me announce (or, copy Onyx Path's announcement!) the Second Onyx Path Virtual Gameing Convention will be coming to you live starting Friday, June 11th and running until Sunday, June 13th (including a special post-con Jackbox gamefest Sunday night hosted by Dixie)!
The GM Sign-up Page & Code of Conduct for OPP Con are now live:
Here are some listings for their planned panels and Actual Play sessions:
A few things to highlight in there:
A trio of relevant and interesting panels on Saturday June 12th, enough to maybe keep you glued to your screen for a good part of the day! At noon EDT, the What's Up with Onyx Path? panel is always a good source of information on upcoming projects, and that's followed by the Scion: All Myths Are True panel at 1:30 PM EDT, and then the Storypath Q&A panel at 3:00 PM EDT. All panels sound well worth checking out.
In terms of scheduled Actual Plays, Scion: Hero gets the spotlight on Saturday June 12th at 9:00 PM, and both of our books could get explored in Scion: Dragon vs Masks of the Mythos at 2:00 PM EDT on Sunday June 13th. Always interesting to watch some Scion games! And maybe sign up to play a few as well!

April 2021 Update
almost 3 years ago
– Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at 09:11:48 PM
Hello Heirs and Salutations Scions,
We're in the back-half of April, so it's time to start our regular month end update process. As I've mentioned before, I'll be sending out a Status Check-in at the end of every month, just to keep communication constant and consistent and keep everyone on the same page.
Update James
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.
PLEDGE MANAGER REMINDER
Most of you have confirmed your rewards, selected any Add Ons, and entered your information. No worries on setting shipping info - we'll confirm a bunch by the time we actually approach our shipping schedule, so plenty of time to update as becomes needed. But, it's important to review your pledge and confirm add on rewards.
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://scion-dragon-and-masks.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://scion-dragon-and-masks.backerkit.com/faq

Digital Reward Distribution - Existing PDFs going out this week!
about 3 years ago
– Sat, Apr 03, 2021 at 09:02:32 PM
Hello Heirs & Salutations Scions!
It's been about a week since we launched our BackerKit Post-Campaign Pledge Manager, and most of you have visited, set up your Add On rewards, and confirmed your reward selections. With that information, I've been able to set up and start allocation on some of our existing rewards (i.e., the Scion:Origin and Scion: Hero PDFs and many of the other Scion Add On titles).
Business attire for doing some digital business
DIGITAL REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Many of the rewards for our kickstarter projects take a lot of time and effort to complete. Usually, the kickstarter 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 Scion:Dragon and Scion: Masks of the Mythos, and even longer for our projects generated via Stretch Goals (the Jumpstart, the Companions, the VTT token packs).
That said, there are a few rewards that are available now, as they were mostly add-on PDFs of existing products. And now we can work on getting those out to you over the weekend.
The following Add On Rewards WillBe Distributed This Weekend:
[Add On] Scion: Origin PDF
[Add On] Scion: Hero PDF
[Add On] Scion: Mysteries of the World PDF
[Add On] Scion: Titanomachy PDF
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Your link to claim these digital rewards will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the weekend. 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
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for these rewards over the next 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 manylinks to go out!!)
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account:
Which is a good reminder for those who haven't yet logged in to BackerKit, and also those who will want to revisit and/or revise their survey (maybe you've decided to take another look at the Add Ons, now that they're going 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://scion-dragon-and-masks.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://scion-dragon-and-masks.backerkit.com/faq
OK, that's a lot of stuff before a long weekend. I'll be back at the end of the month with our regular, ongoing status check-ins. Keep an eye out for reward e-mails (coming over the next few days), and revisit your survey if you want to review your pledge rewards and confirm your Add On options.

Surveys Going Out This Weekend!
about 3 years ago
– Fri, Mar 26, 2021 at 10:31:44 PM
Hello Heirs & Salutations Scions!
Dressing up for Survey time.
Starting next month, April 2021, I will send out the first of our regular month end updates. Near the end of each month, I will be sending out an update with status notes on our main project as well as the Stretch Goal projects we added. As noted in previous updates, these projects take a long time to put together. You've seen the manuscript preview PDF, but there are still many moving pieces and puzzles to solve in turning this into an awesome book. These month-end updates ensure that communication is constant and consistent, and that we're all on the same page with regards to where we stand.
That's info for April,though. Let's talk about this month instead, because...
I will also be sending out the BackerKit Pledge Manager surveys overthe next 4 days!
But, before we begin all of that - I hope everyone's keeping safe and managing through our current times as best possible. I don't know how things will look as the world continues to change, but hoping the best for all of you.
BACKER SURVEYS
Over the next few days, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey invitation link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
The e-mail will look something like this:
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts, and that won't happen until the books are printed and we're preparing to ship.
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://scion-dragon-and-masks.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://scion-dragon-and-masks.backerkit.com/faq
If you have any other questions or concerns, you can post them to the comments for this update, the comment section, or message me via one of these methods:
TO CONTACT JAMES
Via E-Mail: Onyx.Kickstarter [at] gmail.com
Via Kickstarter: Click RichThomas under the "Created By" heading on the main page, and then press the "Contact Me" button - the message will come to me!
Via BackerKit: Click "Need Help?" from your page, and then fill in the Contact Us form. BackerKit will pass your message along to me.
If there are any issues you find with the Pledge Manager, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know. It rolls out in waves so that I can correct issues on the fly and make it work as best possible as people come on board.
Please send me an e-mail (to the address above) if there were any tweaks or changes that need to be made to your BackerKit survey that we talked about during the campaign. I have aged about thirty years during 2020 and 2021 and my memory is... not as good as I'd like.
Within the BackerKit Survey and Pledge Manager, you can:
Review your Pledge Tier Selection and Rewards
Upgrade your Reward Tier pledge selection
Confirm Add On selections
Set up payment information for any failed payments from the Kickstarter campaign or to pay for any new Add On options selected.
Whenyou click on your BackerKit invitation link,you should see something like this...
This is what BackerKit looks like when you click on the invitation
From the BackerKit welcome page you can choose to
1 -Review Your Pledge Level and Rewards
2 - Switch Your Pledge Level
3 - Start Your Survey, confirming pledge rewards, selecting Add On options, and confirming any shipping and payment info that may be needed
If you select option 1, your Pledge Level, you will see a list of all items included in your Pledge Rewards, and also have the option to upgrade your Pledge Level, in case you've decided to get the hardcover instead of just the PDF, or want to choose a multiple copy reward.
Selecting the Pledge Level reveals the Pledge Reward List and other details.
Once you've confirmed that your Pledge Level is correct and where you want it to be, you can GETSTARTED with your BackerKit Pledge Manager Survey.
Once we've got a fair response to our survey and collected a reasonable amount of info, I'll be working on fulfilling rewards that are available now - like the PDFs of the titles included in our Add On section (for example, Scion:Origin and Scion: Hero PDFs, Mysteries of the World PDF and other existing PDFs).
So, in summary:
Look for an e-mail invitation to BackerKit sometime over the next few days
Get Started on your survey
Confirm your Pledge Level
Select Any Add On options
Confirm Your Shipping Information (if needed)
Confirm Your Payment Information (if needed)
I will post an update in another week or so, outlining the delivery of our first Add On rewards (the existing PDF titles, as noted above) and beginning distribution of those PDF rewards. And, you'll hear from me again at the end of April as I begin our regular month end status updates.
After the explosion of Doctor Sir Calvin Hammersmith’s “telluric engine” early in the 20th century, people the world over begin to demonstrate extraordinary capabilities. Stalwart individuals with the strength to pull a safe from a wall, or the quickness of hand to pluck a bullet from the air. Mesmerists with the ability to cloud mens’ minds or see visions of distant places. Valiant daredevils with unparalleled skill or luck. Collectively called the Inspired, the newly-formed Æon Society for Gentlemen is on a mission to guide the Inspired, catalog telluric phenomena, and shepherd humanity to a better place.
Trinity Continuum: Adventure! is the next edition of the pulp action game Adventure!, originally released in 2001. This new edition features mechanics that are both flexible and fast as well as new Inspired powers. While the setting is quite similar to the original edition’s, it has been newly updated to better fit into the overall Continuum setting and encourage heroic roleplaying.
