Hello Curious Cats,

As I mentioned last month, we'll have a regular update around the second last week of every month to review the status of our Curious Cats of Mau book as well as the status of our various Stretch Goal rewards. Most will be pretty similar, with incremental progress happening behind the scenes. But whenever there's a reward ready for you, I'll be in touch with an update and provide more information on what to expect.

We're still in the earliest stages of this post-campaign, though, so it'll be a while before we are ready to talk about rewards. For now, let's check in on our projects...

No big changes since last month, but things are being worked on in the background.

I'll post this chart in each monthly update, and fill in dots as projects move along.

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://curious-cats-of-mau.backerkit.com/

In addition to redemption links for distibuted digital rewards, all backers have received a link to the compiled draft manuscript. This link can be found in your BackerKit digital rewards page (See the link above for Claiming Your Digital Rewards if you need a refresher). Again, this isn't a new manuscript, it's just all of the pieces we shared during the campaign put together in order.

You can read Onyx Path's most recent monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <May 2024 Project Status Summary>

You can find the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>, which note any projects with status changes since the previous Month End summary. The project statuses listed are current as of last Monday, so do check it out each Monday night to see if anything may have progressed!

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

If you've got questions about the rules or setting, or just want to discuss this game with other fans (as well as the Onyx Path writers and developers!), you can check out these Onyx Path discussion zones:

CURRENTLY FUNDING - ONYX PATH ADJACENT

From The Bodhana Group, the Branch Riders tabletop roleplaying game is currently in a campaign on Kickstarter. The Bodhana Group advocates for and utilizes tabletop gaming as a directed therapeutic and clinical practice that can benefit personal growth as well as enhance social and educational services to individuals and families.  Gaming has usefulness in education, skill building and therapeutic applications.  

Branch Riders is an RPG that came out of years of design and development - with the help of some of the Onyx Path team - to be a fun and compelling game first and foremost, but with the right therapeutic and skill-building tools "under the hood" for trained instructors to utilize beyond that.

If you're interested in a multi-genre action-packed easy-to-learn and -teach fun game with different approaches to problem solving and a variety of GM tools and player challenges, come check it out!

On Kickstarter Now! They've funded but are looking to unlock Stretch Goals and make the game as amazing as it can be!

As if writing the Curious Cats jumpstart adventure and coordinating a three-day online convention wasn't exhausting enough, Onyx Path's Travis Legge as rolled right into launching his latest Kickstarter! Bizarre Kingdoms is a setting expansion for Odysseys & Overlords, though the lands and creatures introduced herein could be easily adapted to any Savage Worlds Fantasy setting. In this book you'll find four new kingdoms your adventurers can explore or even hail from! This book requires the use of the Savage Worldscore rules and the SWADE Fantasy Companion.

Travis creates great stuff! Support him on Kickstarter <here>
