February 2022 Update + Reward Distribution
about 2 years ago
– Tue, Feb 22, 2022 at 08:25:11 PM
Hello Continuum Community,
We're just finishing up the shortest month of the year, though every day in 2022 feels like it's about 40 hours long, so I'm not quite sure how the math works out. The good news is that we've got another reward being delivered to us as part of this update!
Think way back... remember this Stretch Goal during the campaign?
Yeah, we crushed that (along with so many others!). And now the first Trinity Continuum: Aberrant novella is ready for backers to review!
Three months ago, Boston’s city defenders, the Bulwarks, met a tragic end. Two of their members died in a mysterious flash, and the third nova, Daystar, went missing. The head Directive intelligence agent on the case turned up dead a few weeks later, after sending his team a particularly cryptic communication.
Now, operative Alina Vaughn and her cell race to finish the work their colleague started. Though it begins as a find-and-rescue op for Daystar, the deeper they dig, the more Alina has to wonder if the nova killed his teammates and is planning a catastrophic return to the spotlight. The operatives aren’t the only ones looking for him. Between his burgeoning cult and a local mobster on the rise, Alina’s cell will need to bring all their skills to bear to find Daystar first.
A novella set in the Trinity Continuum: Aberrant universe.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If you were a Kickstarter backer, your link to claim your Trinity Continuum: Panopticon 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: Panopticon 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: Panopticon Feedback Form!
Onyx Path has launched a special Trinity Continuum: Panopticon Feedback Form, which you can access here: https://forms.gle/RA2fouXpTWFcxxGa8
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.
Proteus Nova Compendium PDF- inPost-EditingPhase[EDDY NOTE] Happy to see this project moving ahead! This was a stretch goal from the TC: Aberrant Kickstarter, so I’ll be chatting with the developer about it once he’s had a chance to review the edits
Novas Worldwide PDF- Nowin Art Direction Phase (Art notes are collected from developers, and artists are hired according to the needs of the line and book)

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.

January 2022 Update

Hello Continuum Community,
Here we are with the first update for 2022. A handful of projects in the works, and I'm hopeful we'll see many (if not all) of them delivered over the course of this year. I'll also be working on some tweaks to the way information is presented in these updates, so bear with me as I try to get things a little more accessible.

2021 Year End Update
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Dec 29, 2021 at 02:22:21 AM
Hello Continuum Community,
Ah, the final days of 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!

The Trinity Continuum in 2084
over 2 years ago
– Thu, Nov 18, 2021 at 11:49:47 PM
Hello Continuum Community,
I'll be back next week with our regular month end update, but I wanted to jump in real quick with a note about the latest game in the Trinity Continuum universe.
Journey to 2084
In the wake of two massively destructive events, the Federated States of America committed to building a gleaming utopia with bleeding-edge technology and the sharpest minds anywhere. Named Cascade, anyone can move to this brand-new city and live under the watchful eye of the FSA. Just sign up to be a citizen and have the latest in cybertechnology implanted into your head: a brain-enhancing device known as Glass.
One of the biggest escapes is the massively popular MMO known as Terra Surge. What started off as a massive multiplayer fantasy roleplaying game has evolved into a needed social outlet, a sandbox for collaborative creativity, and an escapist fantasy to forget the troubles of the world outside. The fictional world of Synestia has millions of digital citizens known as anima. There are many who seek the simple pleasure of slaying monsters and gaining treasure, but many players also build shops, manage guilds, and live out fleshed-out lives… and all of it is streamed directly into their brains through the miracle of Glass.
In Trinity Continuum: Anima, characters try to get by while staving off attacks from enemies both physical and virtual. Anima gives players the chance to enter both the dangerous world of corporate espionage, while also delving deep into the virtual world’s mysteries. Between the two exist a myriad of deadly secrets meant to be left buried.
A few hints about what's coming up in the future... or, I guess I should say the past... for the Trinity Continuum.
If you'd like to travel to a possible 2084, check out Trinity Continuum: Anima, now in Kickstarter!
