First up, the big news - we've unlocked our most recent Stretch Goal target and the Onyx Path team will be adding a SIXTH shard to the Scion: Mythic Shards book.
ACHIEVED! - 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 in a poll that ends tomorrow!
That's right - the vote ends tomorrow at NOON eastern time. Our options for this new shard are:
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!
Right now, LOST TIME is winning with about 41% of the vote, with Journey to the Wild West right behind with 38%, and Aquatic Adventures getting the bronze at 21%.
BUT - that's with a total of 256 votes thus far. There are currently 730 backers for this project, which means nearly two-thirds of backers haven't yet voted!
This poll will decide new content which will be added to our main rewards. It's not written yet, work won't begin until this crowdfunding campaign is finished and the developers can begin to piece it together, but the first step in determining our sixth shard is for backers to decide what that content will cover.
I'll announce the final result in tomorrow's update, which will officially kick off the final week of the crowdfunding campaign. So vote if you haven't already, and feel free to make your case for Journey to the Wild West or Aquatic Adventures in the comments and on Discord!
So let's set up some new Stretch Goals. These won't be surprising if you've been paying attention.
At $36,000 in Funding - MYTHIC SHARDS REFERENCE GUIDE PDF - FAREWELL TO HEROES - A series of charts and information for a Storyguide to use while running a Farewell to Heroes 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 $37,000 in Funding - NEW ADD ON - FAREWELL TO HEROES-THEMED DICE SET - A dice set selected to represent Farewell to Heroes 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 Farewell to Heroes colors can be added to your pledge for +$20 each.
At $38,000 in Funding - MYTHIC SHARDS REFERENCE GUIDE PDF - FOUR COLORS - A series of charts and information for a Storyguide to use while running a Four Colors 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 $39,000 in Funding - NEW ADD ON - FOUR COLORS-THEMED DICE SET - A dice set selected to represent Four Colors 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.

So, a couple of expansions for our "DIY Storyguide Screen" PDF supplement, and a couple more dice set Add On options, with a rough idea of what they'll look like here...
So VOTE and continue to spread the word about our campaign as we head into our final week.
I'll be back tomorrow with an update to launch our big final week countdown and to let everyone know the winner for the Sixth Shard poll... and maybe we'll set up one more Stretch Goal before we get into our final days.
