Final Update - Proteus Novas Compendium Updated
about 1 year ago
– Wed, Feb 01, 2023 at 12:15:33 PM
Hello Novas,
It's been about three months since I sent out our final reward, the Proteus Novas Compendium advance PDF for Kickstarter Backers. In that update, I said I'd be back one final time to let you know when that project had been finalized.
Well, here we are. After taking all of your feedback, the development has made the corrections and updated the Page XX references and finalized the PDF.
If you had already download the Advance PDF back in October, you can find the latest version in your Digital Library on DriveThruRPG. You can either search your library for ProteusNovas Compendium or filter to Updated Only and grab it from there.
If you hadn't yet download the book, your download link on your BackerKit digital rewards page will get you the latest version of the book. DriveThruRPG always has the latest version available.
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-aberrant.backerkit.com.
Again, this isn't a notice for a new reward. All rewards for the campaign have been distributed to backers. This is just a final notice that our last reward has been updated and a reminder that the BackerKit Pledge Manager will be closing soon.
With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for the rest of the month - until February 28, 2023 as noted in our previous update. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThruRPG library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.
Related to our updated version, DriveThruRPG now has the ProteusNovas Compendium available for purchase in PDF and Print-on-Demand format, so if you wanted to order a copy for your bookshelf you now can.
And, with that final notice, I'm calling this our last official update for this project. Thank you again for your support over the past 3+ years as we ran the campaign, managed our pledges, shipped our hardcover books and other rewards, sent out our PDF supplements and other Stretch Goal rewards, and have now seen everything released for general purchase.

Surprise! Final Reward Distribution - Proteus Nova Compendium
over 1 year ago
– Mon, Oct 31, 2022 at 04:08:25 AM
Hello Novas!
Remember just a few days ago when I said I'd be in touch when our final reward was ready for distribution to backers? Well, surprise - here we are three days later. The final reward for the Trinity Continuum: Aberrant kickstarter campaign has finished the final proofing round and now the Advance PDF is ready to send out to backers from the campaign.
Remember this Stretch Goal? We built a digital supplement over a handful of Stretch Goal targets and now it's ready to go out to you!
The world of 2028 belongs to novas. From Elites on the battlefield of international conflicts to OpNet stars broadcasting content from across the globe and beyond, novas change the course of humanity through their incredible powers. The Proteus Nova Compendium provides bios for dozens of novas with details on their histories and current agendas. This book also contains stat blocks for several prominent novas, ready for use in your Trinity Continuum: Aberrant chronicle.
Proteus Nova Compendium contains:
Game stats for 28 prominent novas, presented in Antagonist and Playable Character format.
Character bios for nearly 200 prominent novas including dozens of plot hooks.
Basic guidelines for running organizations as Antagonists in Trinity Continuum: Aberrant.
New Paths for use with Trinity Continuum: Aberrant.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If you were a Kickstarter backer, your link to claim your PROTEUSNOVAS COMPENDIUM Advance 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 DriveThru's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
You should login to your DTRPG account prior to clicking or pasting the redemption link for best results.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://trinity-continuum-aberrant.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
This is the first version of PROTEUSNOVAS COMPENDIUM to be released. We've sent you this initial Advance PDF for three reasons:
1) I can't wait any longer! I'm so happy to have this reward, I just want to get it (digitally) in front of you as fast as possible.
2) To thank you for your support! This project, literally, is a direct result of your support during the Kickstarter campaign. You deserve to see it before anyone else!
3) To make the final version the best it can be! The authors 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 Onyx Path releases it for sale.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the PROTEUSNOVAS COMPENDIUM Feedback Form!
Generally, Onxy Path tries to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks, so please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure they're getting everything covered.
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note this form will be for errata only. It won't be for general book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.
Also, they already know about any Page XX notations - those are usually corrected after any changes are made and the books are being finalized.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!) and the page numbers are finalized, Onyx Path 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 advance PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
Proteus Novas Compendium PDF (Update #87, Oct 30, 2022)
FINAL REWARD LINK DISTIRBUTED
That's our final reward link out to backers, but this won't quite be my final update. I won't be sending regular month end summaries any more, but I will send an update once again when the final version of ProteusNovas Compendium is available to re-download from your digital library at DriveThruRPG and to order in Print-on-Demand format. Again, that won't be a new reward or new link sent out via BackerKit - once it's finalized, the file will just be updated on DTRPG and you'll be able to download the latest version at your convenience.
With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for another 4 months - until February 28, 2023 in fact. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThruRPG library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.
At this point, any Backerkit pages with incomplete surveys or unpaid pledges have be closed and considered completely fulfilled. Unlikely that applies to anyone reading this, but if this is the first time you've paid attention to an update and have never visited your BackerKit page, you may want to double check to get your download codes.
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-aberrant.backerkit.com. You can also access your available DOWNLOADS from your BackerKit page.

Oct '22: Build a Character, Monthly Summary
over 1 year ago
– Thu, Oct 27, 2022 at 09:48:56 AM
Hello Novas,
We're in the final week of October, so it's time for our regular month end update. Our final reward is still in proofing, so no big announcement yet, but I'll continue to update you each month as it moves closer to completion.
I do have one bit of Aberrant fun to share - the Onyx Path crew have been working on these "Build a Character" videos, and recently Eddy Webb and Dixie Cochran worked through the process of creating a nova for Trinity Continuum: Aberrant.
I like this idea and hope they do more in this series and continue to come up with cool videos.
STRETCH GOAL REWARD STILL PENDING
Our final reward is in proofing. Hopefully it'll get reviewed and approved soon and then we'll distribute the advance PDF to backers!
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-aberrant.backerkit.com. You can also access your available DOWNLOADS from your BackerKit page.
You can read Onyx Path's last completed monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <September Project Status Summary>
I will continue to post regular updates every month until the final Stretch Goal reward has gone out.

Sept '22: Aether Order, Monthly Update
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 03:46:39 AM
Hello Novas,
Nothing major to share just yet, but it is time for our regular month end check in. Before we review our final Aberrant reward, let's check in much, much earlier in the Trinity Continuum.
Trinity Continuum: Aether now available for pre-order on Backerkit.
Missed the Kickstarter? You can now pre-order the PDF and hardcover versions in our BackerKit pre-order page here: AETHER PRE-ORDER PAGE
STRETCH GOAL REWARD STILL PENDING
Our final reward is in proofing. Hopefully it'll get reviewed and approved soon and then we'll distribute the advance PDF to backers!
So, one last reward in review. We should see it before too much longer.
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-aberrant.backerkit.com.

I will continue to post regular updates every month until the final Stretch Goal reward has gone out.

Aug '22: Storypath Panel, Aether ended, Monthly Update
over 1 year ago
– Sat, Aug 27, 2022 at 02:29:59 AM
Hello Novas!
Our big update came just a few weeks ago, when the Novas Worldwide Advance PDF went out to backers. The team has now collected your feedback and will be making any corrections and updates needed before finalizing the files at DriveThruRPG.com.
When the book is finalized, you'll get a message from DTRPG (depending on your communication preference settings on their site), and be able to download the latest version of the PDF at any time from your digital library.
So, keep an eye out for that in the weeks ahead (it'll probably be a bit, so nothing to hunt for yet).
STORYPATH Q&A
Earlier in the month, Onyx Path participated in Gen Con Online, and I've got the Storypath Q&A Panel to share with you. Featuring Eddy Webb, Rich Thomas, and Danielle Lauzon. Check it out to learn about current and future plans for the Storypath system.
AETHER ENDED
The Trinity Continuum has expanded again. Trinity Continuum: Aether had a successful crowdfunding campaign and has started it's own journey towards eventual release. If you missed this one or were waiting to see how it all turned out, we should have a BackerKit-powered pre-order page up sometime in September, and I'll likely have a link to check out in our update next month.
REWARD STILL PENDING
Our final reward is in art direction and will be starting layout soon.
And now we're down to one final Stretch Goal reward. I expect layout to begin next month, and we'll likely have this in our digital hands before... Halloween, maybe? If not sooner. But definitely in the home stretch for this one.
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-aberrant.backerkit.com. You can also access your available DOWNLOADS from your BackerKit page.
I will continue to post regular updates every month until that final Stretch Goal reward has gone out. Maybe two more updates!
