November '23 Update

Hello Animaniacs,
As we head into the final weeks of November, it's time once again for our monthly update! Bits and pieces going on behind the scenes, but no major announcements yet.
REWARDS STILL PENDING
The changes and errata that you shared back when the Advance PDF came out have been incorporated into the TC: Anima PDF, and now the team is fixing up all of the "see Page XX" bits and finalizing the index. Once that's all done, a final version will be made available in your DriveThruRPG library and DTRPG will release it for sale to the general public. At that time, they'll likely also make it so you can print a version of the PDF as a print-on-demand hardcover - I'll get you discount order codes for those when that time comes, in case you want to order a printed version of the PDF.
While that's going on, the Onyx Path team will begin finalizing all of the files and begin setting up a print run with their print partners. While that's going on, the writing and development team can re-focus on the Stretch Goal rewards. There should be a lot of fun Anima rewards coming throughout 2024!
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-anima.backerkit.com/
You can read Onyx Path's most recent monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <October 2023 Project Status Summary>
You can find the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>, which note any projects with status changes since the previous Month End summary. The project statuses listed are current as of last Monday, so do check it out each Monday night to see if anything may have progressed!
I will continue to post regular updates every month until the final Stretch Goal reward has gone out.

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.

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.
September '23 Monthly Update

Hello Animaniacs,
There's no big news to share this month, so I'm able to come to you a week early because this update is going to look a lot like last month. It probably seems wasteful or foolish to send an update when there's nothing to really update, but I want to make sure that communication is constant and consistent, even when it's boring like this.
I will note that I'm just about to get the BackerKit pre-order pages for Trinity Continuum: Aegis up and running, so if you missed out on that campaign, you may want to check it out.
Right now, you can pre-order the PDF or the Hardcover+PDF combo. If you do, you'll have access to the draft manuscript so you'll be able to read the book while it gets worked on by the Onyx Path team. I haven't *quite* got the manuscript deliveries set up yet, that's about a week away. So, if you're thinking about it. you can wait a week or pre-order now and you'll get an email when it's ready for you.
REWARDS STILL PENDING
The Index is being added to the book and I believe the Onyx Path team are talking to their printers about when it can be scheduled to go to press. Still some time away, and lots of logistics in between, but slight forward momentum is a good thing.

August '23 Monthly Check In
3 months ago
– Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 08:33:02 AM
Hello Animaniacs,
No major news to share this month, everything is proceeding as planned behind the scenes (or, a bit faster than planned, I think). Before I get into our regular month end update, I just wanted to note an interesting new release in the Trinity Continuum. A VTT jumpstart adventure with some bells and whistles set in the world of Assassins!
Now available in advance PDF from DriveThruRPG: Rat in a Burning Cage, a VTT adventure set for Trinity Continuum: Assassins!
Porvenir should be a sanctuary for those who dwell in the Shadow; a place for assassins to hide out, retire, and wile away their autumn years. This jungle town is far from the utopia it’s purported to be. Someone has crossed a line in Porvenir, and it’s for your assassins to pick up the pieces, even as every member of this Shadow community guns for you.
Rat in a Burning Cage is an introductory scenario for Trinity Continuum: Assassins designed to make its play easy and fun at in-person and virtual tabletops. Trinity Continuum: Assassins uses the Storypath System, provided in the pages of this book!
Rat in a Burning Cage includes:
Five playable characters complete with character sheets.
A story in three acts, perfect for a virtual tabletop one-shot or convention play.
Maps (both gridded and non gridded) and handouts for use in your virtual games.
Incidental sounds and music
Printable battlemap and handouts.
The complete TC Assassins Token set along with the 5 RMCs.
All the Masteries, Edges, and Storypath system mechanics you need.
This is something new for the Onyx Path team! More than a jumpstart, more than a PDF, there’s a lot going on here to make your experience as rich as possible. I'm hoping it's successful and we can see something like this for TC: Anima, which would be a real treat!
REWARDS STILL PENDING
As I'm typing this, the Anima book is finishing up in the indexing process so the file can be finalized. Once that's done, you'll be able to download the final version from DriveThruRPG in your library.

July '23 Monthly Update - Trinity Continuum Con Panel and Aegis is about to Launch!
4 months ago
– Tue, Jul 25, 2023 at 10:42:04 AM
Hello Animaniacs,
After our last monthly update and our backer PDF going out, this month will be a little less exciting. I've still got to fun bits of Trinity Continuum info to share with you though!
First up, the Trinity Continuum panel from this year's Onyx Path Con! This panel is all about the Trinity Continuum featuring Danielle Lauzon, Ian A. A. Watson, Sean Creef, and Steve Tasker!
Next up, we're just about to launch the latest crowdfunding project for the Trinity Continuum!
Trinity Continuum: Aegis is a game of epic adventure and exploration set during Greece’s Iron Age. The setting features figures and events from history and mythology, viewed through the lens of the Trinity Continuum. In this game you’ll play Champions, Oracles, and Olympians — characters who have come into contact with the mysterious substance called ambrosia and been transformed into Inspired individuals with powers similar to Talents, Psiads, and Novas millennia ahead of their counterparts’ times.
These characters live in an age of wonder and discovery. People in the ancient world made amazing strides in science, exploration, and philosophy, all while grappling (sometimes literally!) with gods and monsters. About a decade ago, bright streaks flashed across the sky and a fiery object crashed into Mount Olympus. Other pieces landed throughout the world, creating heroes and horrors wherever they touched down.
Trinity Continuum: Aegis continues to explore the Trinity Continuum’s themes of hope, sacrifice, and unity — in an age where societies are in decline and survival sometimes feels uncertain, these are the tenets under which people band together.
Epic Adventure. This is a game about big, sweeping actions and over-the-top stories. Monsters are real and roam the world. Some are strange creatures, others are human. The characters face these things head on, using their wits, strength, and daring to forge stories that will echo through the ages.
Exploration and Discovery; Curiosity and Wonder. The world is huge, and much of it is uncharted. Characters who set sail run the risk of being blown off course in a storm and washing up on an island where a sorceress makes her home. That old cave no one ever ventures too far into holds a monster’s lair or the door to an Underworld. The cautious and the fearful stay far away; a Champion checks her map, lights her torch, and ventures within. She wants to know: What’s at the center of the labyrinth? Can you reason with Medusa? What’s the view like from atop Olympus?
Recognizing Your Potential. So, what makes a hero, exactly? Is it strength, cleverness, doing the right thing when the odds are against you? What are you capable of when you’re sure you’ve given it all you’ve got? What heights can you reach, that you didn’t know were within your grasp? Aegis encourages players to explore the answers.
