Latest Updates from Our Project:

June '22: OPP CON Trinity Continuum & Storypath Panels, Aether Coming Soon, Monthly Update
over 2 years ago – Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 10:01:33 PM

Hello Animaniacs,

Trying a little something with the update titles - a little less utilitarian, a little more about the contents of our monthly update. No big announcements about rewards, but more info about the Trinity Continuum, including current and upcoming projects, as well as a dive into the engine that powers the whole thing, the Storypath system!

As you may remember, a few weeks back Onyx Path held their third annual Virtual Gaming Convention. I've got two cool panels to share with you from that weekend.

Onyx Path Con 2022: Trinity Continuum Panel

The Trinity Continuum panel features Content Lead Ian A.A. Watson, Executive Producer Eddy Webb, and writers Vera Vartanian and Steve Kenson, and takes a look at current and upcoming projects in the Trinity Continuum.

The whole panel is worth checking out, but I'm super excited about the next project coming up - Trinity Continuum: Aether. This will be our next crowdfunding campaign, and I'm happy to share a little more info about this intriguing setting for the Continuum.

TRINITY CONTINUUM: AETHER

Call it what it was: hubris, arrogance, a collective delusion of grandeur… We thought we were the only beings in this universe and that with our grand intellect and glorious empires we were the best humanity would ever be.

And then came Aether.

And along with Aether came mental expansion, form mutation, matter warping, time manipulation, and the discovery of new worlds, new peoples, new and terrifying possibilities.

And with Aether came the doom of humankind. Aether brought the Martians to our world, and the unravelling of the reality we knew.

Aether is a full rule and setting expansion for the Trinity Continuum line of games, set in the year 1895, at a time when humanity has conquered its own world, and now seeks to conquer the limitations imposed on us by the laws of all the sciences known to our kind. Inside, you will find:

  • A complete Victorian-era setting and Paths for characters to embark upon within it.
  • Aether powers allowing you to manipulate fate, space, time, and even your own bodies in wondrous and horrifying ways.
  • Societies both lawful and rogue, looking to leave their imprint on the world, from those in league with Mina Harker to those affiliated with Dr. Jekyll and Moriarty.
  • Storyguide advice, secrets, hooks, and plots, to enable you to start your game of Aether off with a bang.

Onyx Path Con 2022: STORYPATH PANEL

Pulling back from a Trinity Continuum focus, this panel features Danielle Lauzon, Lauren Roy, Monica Spec, and Michele Masala talking about the engine that was created for the Trinity Continuum and has gone on to power several of Onyx Path's games. If you're interested in some of the more crunchy parts of the game, this is a great discussion worth checking out!

May 2022 Update
over 2 years ago – Thu, May 26, 2022 at 09:03:00 AM

Hello Animas,

A bit of forward movement on our Stretch Goals, and info on an upcoming online convention in this month's status check in.

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Alt text: our main book is in art direction, our Cascade Jumpstart is in final drafts and our Terra Surge jumpstart is in post-draft development, while our Companion book is in manuscript review and approval!

So doubling up the Jumpstart supplement reward hasn't hurt the progress of these goals, as the Cascade jumpstart finishes up final drafts with the writers, and the Terra Surge jumpstart has moved even further and is with the development team. Our DLC companion supplement has finished development and is now in manuscript review and approval! Bit by bit, everything's moving along.

Hello Animaniacs,

We're in the final days of March, so time for our regular month end update. No major news today - we're still super early in the post-campaign process - so let's just dive in!

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Alt text: Our main reward, the Anima book, is in post-editing development and started art direction. The Cascade Jumpstart is finishing the first draft, the Terra Surge jumpstart is in redlines, and the DLC Companion PDF is finishing the final draft before further development.

So, some movement on our Stretch Goals, with drafts being completed, developers sending back redline revision notes, and the DLC Companion PDF finishing up in final drafts.

ONYX PATH PROJECT TRACKING

Rich has modified the way he's running the Project Tracking this year. At the end of each month, Onyx Path will be posting an update showing the current status of all of their projects and where each sits on the project tracking chart. In the weekly Monday Meeting Notes blogs, Rich will note any projects that have changed status, sometimes with developer notes, since the big monthly summary.

You can find February's complete project summary <here> and the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>.

I will continue to post an update each month until those final Stretch Goal rewards have gone out.

NOW ON KICKSTARTER

The They Came From... tabletop roleplaying games take your favorite movies, television shows, and pop culture touchstones and turn them into action-packed and wise-cracking opportunities to tell your own versions of these cinematic stories. Previous releases have explored B-movie atomic horror from the 1950s (They Came from Beneath the Sea!) and twisted tales of horror from the 1960s and '70s (They Came from Beyond the Grave!). With this campaign, Onyx Path is ready to introduce TWO new entries enabling you to take on quest-filled fantasy adventure stories with They Came from the Cyclops's Cave! and thrilling tales of world-saving espionage with They Came from [CLASSIFIED]!

Now you can help Onyx Path bring these games to life by supporting either - or both! - with this Double Feature crowdfunding campaign!

In the final weeks! Check it out!
