Reward Distribution: NOVAS WORLDWIDE, AETHER is coming...
almost 2 years ago
– Sun, Jul 10, 2022 at 01:18:17 PM
Hello Continuum Community,
I know it hasn't been even two weeks since our June month end update, but I'm back already because I've got a reward for you! I've also got a special tip for you about the very next Trinity Continuum Kickstarter campaign. Read all the way to the end for that exclusive!
Remember this Stretch Goal during the campaign?
Maybe yes, maybe no? It's been a while. But we have been tracking the movement of Novas Worldwide in our monthly updates, and today it's ready to go out to Kickstarter campaign backers!
Novas Worldwide contains three adventures to use in your games. These scenarios can be played in sequence as a campaign, used individually as single chronicles, or added to an existing chronicle.
Fifteen Minutes introduces new novas to a life of celebrity and fame where they must balance their new roles as superheroes with their reputations.
Sink or Swim sends the characters on a seemingly simple mission to stop a criminal gang, which turns into a rescue operation alongside unlikely allies.
All Tomorrow’s Parties provides the novas with a chance to try their hand at public relations while grappling with the sinister aspects of human desire to be super-powered.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If you were a Kickstarter backer, your link to claim your NOVASWORLDWIDE Backer 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.
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.
This is the first version of NOVASWORLDWIDE 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 NOVASWORLDWIDE 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!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from Drivethru 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.
One more project to move from "Pending" to "Delivered" on our monthly chart, and only one more reward to go! I'll be back - probably a bit early this month - to share our regular status update.

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.
June '22: OPP CON Trinity Continuum & Storypath Panels, Aether Coming Soon, Preview Art, Monthly Update

– Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 09:13:43 PM
Hello Novas,
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

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!
REWARDS STILL PENDING

Our Stretch Goal supplements are still sliding forward. Artwork is underway for the Proteus Nova Compendium, and Novas Worldwide is in proofing. Here's a sneak peek at artwork from Novas Worldwide.
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 other month until those final Stretch Goal rewards have gone out.

May 2022 Update
almost 2 years ago
– Thu, May 26, 2022 at 09:29:12 PM
Hello Novas!
Many bits and pieces to cover today as we go through our month end information update. From the latest "Tasty Bit" quick offering for Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, to the third annual Onyx Path online convention, and our regular project status report. Let's dive right in...
As the station nears completion, and several modules have been finished and are in the process of being fully staffed, the Earth Orbital Habitat is now humanity’s largest space station. Once finished, it will be home to humanity’s largest space-based telescope, the first orbital hotel, facilities for testing manufacturing in space, representatives from more than a dozen national governments and international organizations like Project Utopia, and a space dock capable of constructing ships able to visit any part of the solar system.
Earth Orbital Habitat offers more material for space-faring Trinity Continuum:Aberrant chronicles. Within you will find details of the habitat itself, a look into the politics and intrigue of the Earth Orbital Council, new technology, and writeups of key characters.
STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING
Alt Text: Novas Worldwide is about to start the proofing phase, and Proteus Nova Compendium is in art direction
So, some progress on Novas Worldwide! The first layout stage has completed and it's about to go to the proofing stage, where the team catch and fix any little errors or bumps before we get to see it. Getting closer!!
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.
There will also be a selection of games streaming as part of the convention.
No Aberrant games specifically, but lots of Trinity Continuum in there!
There are also come great panels to check out, all of which will be hosted on the Onyx Path Twitch channel.
Aside from the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, I think Saturday afternoon will be interesting, with the Trinity Continuum panel at 4:00 PM and the What's Up with Onyx Path? Panel after it at 5:30. Check 'em out!

Hello Continuum Community,
Time for our month end update! Not as exciting as the past two months, where we've had stretch goal rewards distributed! We've still got two final rewards on the go, but progress is being made on both and hopefully it won't be too long before we see the results. Let's dive in!
STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING
alt text: Proteus Nova Compendium is in art direction, Novas Worldwide is now in layout.
So, progress on our last two goals, with Novas Worldwide now in layout!

March 2022 Update + Reward Distribution
about 2 years ago
– Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 03:04:39 PM
Hello Continuum Community,
Normally, I'd wait another week before sending out our regular month end summary, but I've got another reward, so who wants to wait? Not me, that's for sure! The perfect follow up to last month's reward... our second novella Stretch Goal is now read for backers!
Our month end update went out a bit early last month, too, for the same reason. In fact, it snuck out just early enough to miss out on some of the reward tracking updates that I've been making, so you'll see that further down in our Rewards Still Pending list for this month.
When Ken Clements ends up in an accidental crash that triggers his eruption, he is plagued by fear and doubt as the changes to his body feel unfamiliar and alien. News of Ken’s eruption becomes a talking point for anti-nova pundit Jordan McDevitt, while doctors at the Rashoud Center try to steer Ken toward signing up with Project Utopia to use his powers for the good of humanity.
As external pressures mount and internal fears fester, Ken meets Tempus, a follower of Teras —the philosophy of the Teragen — who approaches Ken to offer him aid and advice. Chaos envelopes his life, and Ken faces hard choices about philosophy, loyalty, and his place in the world.
A novella set in the Trinity Continuum: Aberrant universe.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If you were a Kickstarter backer, your link to claim your Trinity Continuum: Terat Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruFiction 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 DTFiction account prior to clicking or pasting the redemption link for best results. Your login for DriveThruRPG works across all of the sites on their platform, so it's the same as your DTRPG login.
BACKER PDF
This is the first version of Trinity Continuum: Terat to be released. We've sent you this initial Advance PDF for three reasons:
1) Who wants to wait?! Not me, and I'm excited to get this out to you as soon 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 we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Trinity Continuum: Terat 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.

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

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!
