You want a reward?! We got your reward!!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Nov 04, 2021 at 08:02:21 PM

Hello Continuum Community,

Well, we're a few days into November 2021 and it's time for another kickstarter backer reward!

I know it's been a bit (and the past two years count as 20 years), but you may remember this Stretch Goal during the campaign...

Well, we SMASHED that target, and today is the day that backers will get to see their reward.

In the world of Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, wrestling is a major form of entertainment. Unlike in our world, many of these wrestlers are novas — individuals with amazing powers — and in the case of N!ternational Wrestling Entertainment and Nova Combat federations, these novas use their powers to wow the crowds, win fans, and make themselves rich, or suffer horribly for trying. In N!WE Unleashed!, you roleplay characters who work in the wrestling business, both in the ring and backstage, courting popularity and heat, striving to win championships, and making enough of a legend of yourself that one day, you might even have your own action figure.

N!WE Unleashed! uses the Storypath system and requires Trinity Continuum Core Rulebook and Trinity Continuum: Aberrant for use.

N!WE Unleashed! includes:

• A deep-diving headbutt into the inner workings of the wrestling industry, covering everything from maintaining character to the choreography of a bout, and all the participants involved in running a show.
• A plunging powerbomb into the N!WE’s history, with advice on incorporating the premier wrestling company into your games of Aberrant, and how to play out and run wrestling matches and all the backstage politics that precede and follow them.
• A torture rack of new Edges, Conditions, technology, and characters to augment your game and give it that wrestling federation feel.
• A piledriving new mini-system for wrestling-focused games, complete with character creation, rules for moves and maneuvers, and guidance on building up faces, heels, and character popularity.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

If you were a Kickstarter backer, your link to claim your N!WE Unleashed! 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.

BACKER PDF

This is the first version of N!WE Unleashed! 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 we send the book off to print.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the N!WE Unleashed! Feedback Form!

Onyx Path has launched a special N!WE Unleashed! Feedback Form, which you can access here: https://forms.gle/stAPRGCxE2oRXbL56

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, ya jabronis.

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.

As for what's next? What comes after Trinity Continuum: Aberrant?

Well, watch this video and stay tuned for more information...

October 2021 Update
over 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 28, 2021 at 09:33:31 PM

Hello Continuum Community,

Our Stretch Goal projects are sliding along on Onyx Path's progress path, with the N!ternational Wrestling Entertainment supplement and the Novas Worldwide supplement both about to start the layout phase. There's still a lot of work that goes into that, so still some time before we'll be talking about distribution, but always great to see things moving forward.

That said, there is some related Storypath system news for today that will let me wish you an early Happy Halloween! From one of Onyx Path's other Storypath game lines comes this Jumpstart perfectly suited for the season:

Now available in Advance PDF: The Haunting of Abbeyham Priory!: A Jumpstart for They Came from Beyond the Grave!

Abbeyham Priory is a gothic abbey of crumbling walls and dreadful history. Its inhabitants are terrible, its purpose is malign, and those intrepid adventurers who poke around in its ruined masonry may well unleash something utterly horrid on the world beyond.

You are the intrepid adventurers! And you are the only people who can contain the Haunting of Abbeyham Priory!

They Came from Beyond the Grave! is a dramatic, hammy, and horrifying tabletop roleplaying game of 1970s horror set across the 19th century and ‘70s era. This jumpstart provides you with all the tools you need to start a story of They Came from Beyond the Grave!, and tell many stories to follow.

They Came from Beyond the Grave! uses the Storypath System, provided in the pages of this book!

The Haunting of Abbeyham Priory includes:

• Five playable characters — a Dupe, a Hunter, a Mystic, a Professor, and a Raconteur.
• A story in three acts, perfect for a one-shot or convention play.
• Creatures of the night to throw at your Players.
• All the Cinematic powers, Quips, and Storypath system mechanics you need to run the game right from the page.

September 2021 Update
over 2 years ago – Sat, Sep 25, 2021 at 02:39:08 AM

Hello Continuum Community,

We're skating into the final week of September, so it's time for my flurry of status updates to check in on the Trinity Continuum and where we sit with our Stretch Goal project track.

NEXT in the TRINITY CONTINUUM

Now that we've gone through the three "classic" settings for the Trinity Continuum (Æon, Aberrant, Adventure) plus the Trinity Continuum Core setting, Onyx Path is starting to preview what we'll see in other iterations of the Continuum.

Check out some in-process work on the Trinity Continuum: Assassins book at the Onyx Path website here: <Trinity Continuum: Assassins preview>. Many cool things in the works, and this looks like another really awesome stop along the Continuum.

(If you haven't listed to the Trinity Continuum: Anima design diary, you can check that out <here>)

Keep an eye on the Onyx Path page for more on Trinity Continuum: Assassins as it develops, along with Trinity Continuum: Anima and Trinity Continuum: Aether. Will Ian ever run out of "A" titles? His imagination is amazingly impressive, and I'm gonna guess that he's got so much more in store for this line that I'm happy to ride along the entire time!

NOW ON KICKSTARTER

Harano is the state in which a werewolf finds themselves, when they succumb to despair. Some Garou look dimly on such kin, believing it is no way to end a life. “Self sacrifice is the only true way to meet the Apocalypse!” they cry, as they rush into battle. Those in Harano merely pine for what once was, and what they believe never can be.

Except, they’re wrong.

W20: THE APOCALYPTIC RECORD is a capstone book designed to conclude the Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition game line, tying up your stories and paving the way for what may come next...

The Apocalyptic Record includes:

• Five chapters of in-character accounts, reports, songs, and tales from the heart of the Garou Nation, covering stories of grief and joy, battle and peace, spirits and kin.
• Story hooks in every chapter to make the content within immediately usable at the gaming table.
• A chapter dedicated to the Werewolf: The Apocalypse metaplot, and how to utilize it in your stories.

Check it out on Kickstarter and join in the hunt!

August 2021 Update
over 2 years ago – Fri, Aug 27, 2021 at 02:58:47 AM

Hello Continuum Community (Aberrant version!),

Nothing major to share today, just our regular month end check in. Plus a bunch of cool little blurbs.

Let's blurb right away!

Storypath Showcase

As I mentioned last month, the new Storypath Showcase from Onyx Path is showcasing the various Storypath games through a series of Actual Plays. First up was Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, and here are the videos for your viewing pleasure!

July 2021 Update
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jul 28, 2021 at 10:31:16 AM

Hello Continuum Community,

Let's finish up July with our regularly scheduled KS status check-in.

Before I get to our product list, I want to quickly spotlight two panels from last month's Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention. As mentioned last month, the Trinity Continuum panel featured Danielle Lauzon, Ian A. A. Watson, Chris Allen, and John Snead discussing the many words of the Trinity Continuum and the fun you can have with the games!

Secondly, since the Trinity Continuum uses Onyx Path's Storypath sytem, I wanted to share the Storypath Q&A Panel, which features returning panelists Danielle Lauzon and Ian A. A. Watson and adds in Catie Griffin,  Neall Raemonn Price, and Eddy Webb to discuss various aspects of the Storypath system and how it varies through different game lines (and even within different eras of the Trinity Continuum!)

You'll see the Onyx Path team shine the spotlight on Storypath a bit more in the next while. In addition to the Tasty Bits mini-supplements they've been releasing, they're introducing a new streamed series that they're calling Storypath Showcase.

From the latest Onyx Path Monday Meeting Notes:

Storypath Showcase is a new actual play anthology series that presents games using the Storypath System though short, exciting, and digestible story arcs. Beginning with Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, this show presents a session zero detailing character creation followed by a 2-4 episode arc. When an arc is completed, the show moves to a new setting with a new cast. Storypath Showcase gives the viewer the opportunity to learn about our many worlds and see the Storypath System in action. The sessions are prerecorded so the Storyguide and some cast members will be in the chat to answer questions or talk about the stream’s events.
 This Saturday, join us at 6 PM EDT for Aberrant Episode 1: Dead Drop, in which Team Tonight’s bench roster is activated to investigate the murder of a Project Utopia operative who was undercover with the Megasyndicate. If you missed the Session Zero stream, don’t worry! It’s available to Twitch subscribers on VOD and will be on the OnyxPath YouTube channel soon!
 Following Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, we will run Trinity Continuum Core, followed by games from all our Storypath lines including Scion, They Came From…!, and Dystopia Rising: Evolution!

ABERRANT JUMPSTART NOW AVAILABLE

You may also want to check out the Trinity Continuum: Aberrant Jumpstart, which came out over the past month:

The Adventures of Teen Tomorrow (A Trinity Continuum: Aberrant Jumpstart) introduces you to the world of 2028, where superhumans known as novas have risen to prominence, changing the world with their Quantum powers. Team Tomorrow, a group of superheroes, are among the most popular and well-liked novas on the planet. Young novas hoping to join the ranks of Team Tomorrow attend Team Tomorrow Academy as a team colloquially known as Teen Tomorrow. This Jumpstart adventure follows Teen Tomorrow on a training mission gone awry when their instructor starts behaving recklessly.
