February 2022 Update

Hello Continuum Community! Hello Animaniacs!
We're coming to the end of the shortest month in the calendar, and here we are again! It's time for our regular month end project check in. As always, it'll be some time before we have any big exciting news, but each month it's important to let you know where Onyx Path stands on our rewards and keep the lines of communication open. As noted last month, I'm continuing to tweak the presentation of some of this information, so expect some fine-tuning as I make things a little more graphic and hopefully easy to pick up with a glance.
REWARDS STILL PENDING
I know we're just in the earliest stages of this post-campaign phase, but I'm already tweaking our list of projects. I've smashed the various forms of our main reward, the Trinity Continuum: Anima book, into one line. The PDF, hardcover, and discounted PoD link will go out at different stages of that listing, and I'll note each of those in the delivered rewards when they go. There's still a long time before that happens, but we'll all know when the time comes.
I've also removed a couple of the Trinity Continuum add on bits, like the core rulebook and Adventure! book. Those are off the list, but not forgotten, as they'll be included when final hardcover shipments go out. I'm just streamlining a bit to keep the focus on projects being worked on for *this* campaign and those were cluttering it up a bit.
A couple things to note as well: We've got a name for our quick companion PDF that we unlocked via Stretch Goal - it's called DLC, which I thought was pretty clever of the team. Also, the Jumpstart PDF that we unlocked has doubled in scope... it's now TWO Jumpstart projects, one set in Cascade, one set in Synestia, both now in the initial outlining stages.
All rewards that have been completed and sent out to backers will be listed in this section, along with a link to the update in which the distribution was discussed. You can click back to gather any info, or check in BackerKit if you're looking for one of the digital rewards you'd pledge for. I've built some rough How-To files below in case you need to dig into stuff on BackerKit.
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/
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.
I will continue to post an update each month until those final Stretch Goal rewards have gone out.

January 2022 Update
over 2 years ago

Hello Animaniacs,
That nickname will eventually flip over to a more generic "Continuum Community" but we'll keep it going for now. As promised last week, this is the first of what will become our regular month end ritual, where I send out a brief summary for our project every month.
MONTHLY UPDATES
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 week since we launched our BackerKit Post-Campaign Pledge Manager, and most of you have visited, confirmed your pledge as well as reviewing (and maybe adding on) Add On rewards. With that information, I've been able to set up and start allocation on some of our existing rewards (i.e., the TrinityContinuum Core Rules PDF, along with the other Trinity Continuum era books (Æon, Aberrant) as well as assembling Trinity Continuum multi-title PDF bundles and Storypath system PDF options. It's... a lot. And now that we've got our allocation in process, I can start sending them out.
ADD ON 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 TrinityContinuum: Anima, and even longer for our projects generated via Stretch Goals (the VTT token packs, the Anima Jumpstart PDF, the Companion PDF, and the other fun stuff).
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 next week.
The following Add On Rewards WillBe Distributed OverThe Next Week:
[Add On] Trinity Continuum Core Rules PDF
[Add On] Trinity Continuum: Æon PDF
[Add On] Trinity Continuum: Aberrant PDF
[Add On] Trinity Continuum PDF Bundle 1 (Core Accessories)
[Add On] Trinity Continuum PDF Bundle 2 (Additional Æon)
[Add On] Trinity Continuum PDF Bundle 3 (Aberrant Extras)
[Add On] Trinity Continuum PDF Bundle 4 (Æon Sourcebooks)
[Add On] Scion Second Edition Book One: Origin PDF
[Add On] Scion Second Edition Book Two: Hero PDF
[Add On] They Came from Beneath the Sea! PDF
[Add On] They Came from Beyond the Grave! PDF
[Pledge Tier] Storypath SysAdmin PDF Collection
While the list looks reasonable, there are actually 37 different files included thanks to those various bundles and versions and that Storypath pledge tier. So things will be rolling out in waves over the next 7 days as the system works through it.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Your link to claim these digital rewards will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the nextweek. 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 easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account:
GET YOUR DIGITAL REWARDS to view the redemption links for any digital rewards that have been distributed
Your Digital Downloads page will show redemption codes for each digital reward that has been distributed.
Before the click on the Redemption Code, I suggest you login to your DriveThru account first. This provides a destination shopping cart, and when you click the redemption link these items will be added to your cart at $0 cost (or provide access to a discounted purchase price if you're using one of the discounted Print on Demand links).
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/

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.
I'll continue our monthly tracking updates until the very last Stretch Goal reward has gone out. It's a long process, and I know many of these updates are mostly reminders about stuff you already know, but be assured that there is work going on behind the scenes and things are slowly sliding forward.

Time for BackerKit Surveys
over 2 years ago
– Thu, Jan 20, 2022 at 01:42:27 PM
Hello Animaniacs,
Uploading surveys... now
Starting next week, 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 theend of the month,though. Let's talk about this now instead, because...
I will 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 (although that may help keep things organized if you've got multiple projects going.) 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://trinity-continuum-anima.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://trinity-continuum-anima.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 Richard Thomas 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 the past few months 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...
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, confirming or selecting new Add On options, and confirming any shipping and payment info that may be needed
If you've pledged to a reward tier that includes physical rewards, you can enter your shipping country at this stage to line up those terrible shipping costs.
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 for example.
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, TrinityContinuum Core Rules, TC: Æon, TC: Aberrant, the various Trinity Continuum PDF Bundles, and the rest...).
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 (or SWITCH your Pledge Level if you want to change it)
Confirm and 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 as I begin our regular month end status updates, and also outlining the delivery of our first Add On rewards (the existing PDF titles, as noted above) and beginning distribution of those PDF rewards.
In the face of the growing threat presented by the Order of Reason, mystick mages from across the globe came together for a Grand Convocation in the hopes of finding mutual defense and turning the tide of the nascent Ascension War.

Lore of the Traditions explores the history, practices, and politics of each current member of the Council of Nine. This book lays bare the secrets and shame of the Traditions, recounting past tragedy and triumph, and details how each of these magickal societies approaches the quest for Ascension heading in to the mid-21st century.
Lore of the Traditions contains:
A Detailed history of each Tradition currently on the Council.
Current practices, paradigms, and political goals of the Traditions
Guidance for cross-faction play from the perspective of each Tradition
Detailed writeups for notable mages from each Tradition including stat blocks, Rotes, Wonders, and more!
