March 2022 Update
about 2 years ago
– Wed, Mar 30, 2022 at 07:15:13 PM
Hello Hornsaw Heroes,
As we wrap up March it's time for our regular month end update. Nothing major to report yet, but incremental progress within the current phases. Let's get to it.
REWARDS STILL PENDING
Alt text: Our book is just about to begin proofing, and the Vigil Watch Stretch Goal is still in editing.
Scarred Lands: Dead Man's Rust is just finishing up in layout and about to begin the proofing rounds. So, we're not a long way away from a backer PDF, pending a few rounds of reviews and sign-offs by the writers, developers, and art directors.
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://dead-mans-rust.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.

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDING
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!
February 2022 Update
about 2 years ago
– Sat, Feb 26, 2022 at 12:52:33 AM
Hello Hornsaw Heroes,
As we sneak in to the final days of February, it's time for our regular month end check in. I'm in the process of tweaking the presentation of our pending rewards a bit - seeing if we can get the story of our rewards at a glance with some graphics. Let's see how we do...
REWARDS STILL PENDING
A few tweaks to our list. I've mashed our main Scarred Lands: Dead Man's Rust reward into one listing, rather than tripling it up by breaking out the PDF, hardcover, and print-on-demand discount. In the end, it's all the same project, we just get each piece at a different stage. So, we'll see how that works.
I've also pulled out the existing products that will ship with the Dead Man's Rust hardcover - the Scarred Lands Players Guide, Creature Collection, and Wise & Wicked. Don't worry if you pledge for those rewards, they are off the list but not forgotten. They're ready to go when our final shipments go out.
Another note - we had two Gazetteers that we unlocked as Stretch Goals: Dier Drendal and Burok Torn. Those two projects have been combined into Vigil Watch: Kelder Mountains, which is currently in Editing!

January 2022 Update
over 2 years ago
– Fri, Jan 28, 2022 at 02:54:46 PM
Hello Heroes of the Hornsaw,
The first month end update of 2022! I'm tweaking how information is presented in these updates (nothing major, just rearranging and including links where possible), so bear with me as I fine-tune over the next few months.
Looking at our projected delivery dates from back when the campaign ran on Kickstarter, we had the PDF projected as going out to backers in July 2022, which means we've got about half a year before we start getting close. So, even while we're patiently waiting and watching incremental progress, I'll still be in touch at the end of each month just to touch base and assure everyone that Onyx Path is still working hard behind the scenes!
In the meantime, there's new Scarred Lands content to check out (or contribute to) in the Slarecian Vault!

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.

2021 Year End Update
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Dec 29, 2021 at 05:46:35 PM
Hello Heroes of the Hornsaw,
Can you believe that it's been a year since our kickstarter campaign? Unfortunately, that year was 2021. Can't say I'm sad to see this year ending, though there were some positive moments within the ongoing struggle. Let's not dwell too much, though, and instead do a quick summary of where we stand and what's left to accomplish in 2022 and then a fast review of some of the successes of 2021.

ONYX PATH CROWDFUNDING IN 2021
Another challenging year. While there were some moments of taking two steps forward and one step back, at least there was some forward momentum. Onyx Path spent the previous year restructuring and adapting their processes to better function during the pandemic, but still external issues presented (and continue to present) challenges. Paper shortages, manufacturing difficulties, shipping and storage problems. The new normal.
Despite all of that, Onyx Path was able to get some products out, at least digitally, during the year.
While the massive paper shortage and manufacturing issues kept many of these from seeing print in 2021, they're all currently scheduled to attain physical form in early 2022. Here's hoping the process keeps moving forward and we can finally ship these rewards. Even with that caveat, that's still a pretty impressive list of stuff that's out and available to play.
Another solid year and another batch of fun and interesting projects added to Onyx Path's future release list. In supporting these during the crowdfunding phase, we've also managed to add these extra projects to the schedule:
Scion: Dragon Companion
Scion: Dragon Jumpstart
Whispers from the Darkness (Masks of the Mythos Companion)
Victorian Mage Jumpstart
Bizarre Tales & Unusual Characters
Weird Wonders & Revolutionary Magick
Trinity Continuum: Adventure! Jumpstart
Adventure Addendum
Thrilling Tales
Exalted: Essence Novella Trilogy
Exalted: Essence Jumpstart
Exalted: Essence Adventure Scenario Trilogy
Exalted: Essence Companion
Squeaks in the Deep Companion
Squeaks in the Deep Jumpstart
Icons of Rage
Howls of the Apocalypse
Anima Companion
That's a long list of supplements and expansions that wouldn't exist without your support!
I hope your year ends well, and all the best for 2022!
