Reward Distribution: TITANS RISING BACKER PDF!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Apr 02, 2025 at 06:51:15 AM

Hello Titans,

If you're like me, you're looking for something amazing to read through today instead of just doomscrolling the news! 

Well, I've got some actual good news for you - a rising titan to delight and entertain. Or, you know, provide a fun break.

Because it's time for the BACKER PDF!

Reward Distribution: TITANS RISING Backer PDF

The Second Titanomachy is coming. Smart servants of the Gods and Titans know it's already upon them, simmering away like a fire underground, ready to flare up and consume the World at any moment.

Titans Rising looks at Titans, their Scions, and their servants as one side in the war, fleshing out the conflict between these two divine factions and delving in to the heart of what it means to be the Offspring of a Titan. it includes rules for playing Titanic Scions, profiles of characters and creatures to fight against or alongside, and an in-depth look at how to use the Second Titanomachy in your Scion game.

  • Rules for creating Titanic Scions at Origin, Hero, Demigod, and God-tier, including over 50 new Knacks and 60 Birthrights.
  • Profiles and agendas for 50 Titans to use as foes or progenitors.
  • 46 new Antagonists to challenge characters from pre-Visitation to post-Apotheosis
  • 27 ready-to-use story seeds, suitable for standalone stories or short arcs.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Titans Rising Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, 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.php

Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24 hours if it is on your expected list of rewards.

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://titans-rising.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.

BACKER PDF VERSION

This is the first version of Titans Rising to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Titans Rising Feedback Form!

Onyx Path will be launching a special Titans Rising Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/XB2sj9d8VCCwavLb8

Share your feedback directly with the developers using this form!

They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.

Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!

They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.

After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.

You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.

SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!

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://titans-rising.backerkit.com

Chosen by the gods, their power tempered only by human hearts, the Exalted are all that stand between Creation and the forces that would ruin the world. Set in a rich and intriguing setting that draws from real-world histories and fantasy archetypes, Exalted: Essence features streamlined rules for a new way of playing a classic game, incorporating story-focused action and a presentation designed to appeal to new players and longtime fans alike.

The Exalted: Essence Player’s Guide is a book chock full of player-facing content. Within, we’ll walk you through how to think about playing your character, what kind of person they might shape up to be, and how to consider their strengths and weaknesses as well as Intimacies and Virtues. Beyond advice for roleplaying, each chapter also contains dozens of new Charms for characters to take, shaping the outcome of your campaigns. 

Unlike other Exalted books, this does not contain any new setting material. It’s all about your character and your campaigns. Most books also speak directly to the Storyteller, assuming they’re the person who does most of the reading. Not so here! If you’re a player in a game of Exalted, this book is for you. You don’t have to read the whole thing cover to cover, but the section that applies to your character has so much there for you. 

Learn what it means to be Exalted.

February is the shortest month of the year, so I'll keep our monthly update brief! While I continue to dig my way out of the snow up here, the Onyx Path team are making incremental progress on our project. Nothing major to share this month, just our regular check in.

Rewards Still Pending

All of the artwork for our main book, Titans Rising, has been completed and the team is almost ready to move it into the layout phase. I'll share sneak peeks at the artwork when I can.

In Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, your player characters are the crewmembers of a war rig, venturing into battles against people from far off countries, aligned to ideals different than their own, and trying to preserve their peace, their way of life, or their rich deposits of a new, bizarre energy source: condensed coal. Your characters — the crewmembers of these war rigs — are as likely to be enlisted crooks as they are commissioned officers; gung-ho patriots as common as conscripted people from the imperial powers’ colonies. They fight because they have to. But in the fear and fog of battle, bonds form, friendships and rivalries grow, and legends are made.

Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars takes place outside the Trinity Continuum's "Alpha" timeline -- the worlds explored from Aegis to Æon -- taking place in a parallel reality, setting the stage for new adventures and discoveries.

Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars contains:

  • A complete setting based on the acclaimed graphic novel Steam Wars® with writing by Larry Blamire.
  • Detailed rules on piloting, managing, and fighting massive coal-powered giant war rigs in a parallel 19th century.
  • Six different roles you can perform on a steam rig, along with more than half a dozen Alliances involving in the Second Steam War that you can fight, ally with, or sabotage.
  • Storyguide advice, secrets, hooks, and plots, to enable you to start your game of Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars 

Check it out and join in on the fun!

Hello Titans,

This is the first of our monthly updates for 2025. As a reminder, I'll be posting these updates at the end of every month as we track the progress of our Kickstarter campaign rewards.

Rewards Still Pending

Artists are working from the Art Notes for our main Titans Rising book. We'll know we're getting closer when artwork starts to sneak out - I'll include previews whenever I can. For our two Stretch Goal supplements, Art Notes are being written up by the developer while the Art Director wrangles schedules to see which artists are available and when before they can line up all of the illustration work to be done.

December 2024 Update
over 1 year ago – Tue, Dec 17, 2024 at 11:15:47 AM

Hello Titans,

We've come to the end of another month, so it's time for our regular monthly check in. It's also the end of the year, so let's see what 2024 delivered in terms of Scion Second Edition and then we'll get to our normal lists!

A Look Back at Scion Releases for 2024

Sure, there are some smaller releases in there like the Scion merch options and all of the fun Tasty Bit releases, but there are also some big books that came out for Scion Second Edition this year, including Once and Future, No Gods No Masters, Scion Book 4: God, and Path to Apotheosis PDF.

Many of those rewards exist thanks to ongoing fan support during Onyx Path's crowdfunding campaigns, and we had another successful Scion campaign this summer with Mythic Shards, presenting some new sandboxes to explore with your Scion games. Hopefully we'll see another exciting list of releases in 2025, including rewards from our campaign!
