Project Update: Stretching to New Shards
Hello Shardstriders,
We accomplished our main task within the first 12 hours of the campaign, coming together and funding this project! A remarkable success.
But this is a 30-day campaign and a marathon, not a sprint. So we've set up some smaller goals along the way, smaller milestone markers we can use to keep pace and help celebrate our achievements. And then every once in a while, we get another awesome Stretch Goal that will make our main reward that much cooler.

But this is a 30-day campaign and a marathon, not a sprint. So we've set up some smaller goals along the way, smaller milestone markers we can use to keep pace and help celebrate our achievements. And then every once in a while, we get another awesome Stretch Goal that will make our main reward that much cooler.
As we increase the overall funding and support for the project, we’re able to add additional resources to the project, expand the rewards listed, and add in new offers and opportunities. Each Stretch Goal will have a target that, once reached, will add a project to the reward list for backers of the relevant Stretch Goal path. Whenever we achieve a stretch goal, the image will be updated to reflect the achievement.
ACHIEVED! - At $25,000 in Funding – MYTHCI SHARDS SHIRT ON REDBUBBLE – A Mythic Shards-themed Backer shirt will be hosted on Onyx Path’s Redbubble store for a limited time. Only backers will be notified when the shirt becomes available for purchase.
ACHIEVED! - At $30,000 in Funding - MYTHIC SHARDS REFERENCE GUIDE PDF - AFTER THE END - A Mythic Shards Reference Guide PDF will be created, containing useful charts and info to help Storyguides run an After The End game. This PDF will automatically be added to the rewards list of all backers receiving the Scion: Mythic Shards PDF.
There won't be multiple Storyguide Screens created to sell alongside Mythic Shards - minimum print quantities for multiple screens make it non-practical, BUT we can go digital and have a PDF with the info you'd need on your Storyguide Screen available depending on which shard you're using in your game. After The End is just the start of this build-your-own Storyguide Screen supplement. We can certainly add more as we progress in the campaign!
That said, let's celebrate our first two Stretch Goal accomplishments and see what we can set up for our next batch!
At $32,000 in Funding - MYTHIC SHARDS REFERENCE GUIDE PDF - CYBER-SCION - A series of charts and information for a Storyguide to use while running a Cyber-Scion game will be added to the Reference Guide PDF. This PDF will automatically be added to the rewards list of all backers receiving the Scion: Mythic Shards PDF.
At $34,000 in Funding - NEW ADD ON - AFTER THE END-THEMED DICE SET - A dice set selected to represent After The End will be offered as an option Add On to all backers pledging to a reward tier that includes a hardcover copy of Scion: Mythic Shards. A drawstring bag with ten 10-sided dice in After the End colors can be added to your pledge for +$20 each.
Here's a sneak peek of what we're talking about. This is a work in progress.
At $35,000 in Funding - ADDITIONAL MYTHIC SHARD - A sixth Mythic Shard setting for Scion second edition will be added to the Scion: Mythic Shards PDF and hardcover book. The theme for this additional Shard will be decided by Backer vote!
That's right! If we manage to achieve $35,000 in Funding, the developers and writers will come up with a SIXTH SHARD to add to the Scion: Mythic Shards book. The theme of the new shard will be decided with a Backer Poll.
Your options for a new shard, should we achieve this Stretch Goal target:
- Aquatic Adventures: An Atlantis meets Waterworld and pirate-themed shard. Dive into the depths to recover lost relics or awaken the slumbering Earth Gods to create new lands.
- Lost Time: Rules for playing a battle for the stability of all realities as Scions slip through the different shards and semi shards trying to thwart a usurper's plan to invade another reality. Sliders and Doctor Who style adventures with a group of Scions who are selected to be reality police.
- Journey to the Wild West: Journey to the West, but it's set in the Wild West. Wuxia cowboys!
The poll for backers to vote on their favorite will run until NOON Eastern Time the DAY AFTER we achieve this Stretch Goal. Again, we'll be voting now, but this shard will only be added to the development list and added to the eventual Scion: Mythic Shards book if we unlock this Stretch Goal at $35,000 in Funding!
So Vote! And then spread the word to all of your gaming friends and friendly gamers!
