Hello Shardstriders,

We did it! We all came together for this book for of weird, new, exciting takes on The World for Scion second edition and made it into a reality!

Thanks to the support of more than 950 backers, Onyx Path will be able to develop PDF and hardcover versions of Scion: Mythic Shards!

We had so many new backers join in over the past week - and really, so many in the past 48 hours - and it was fun to see the numbers jump up dramatically in these last few days. Great job!

There's more to celebrate! Not only did we fund the project in the first day, we also unlocked a fantastic FIFTEEN Stretch Goals. From standard Onyx Path milestone markers to a DIY Storyguide screen Reference supplement PDF to a series of thematic dice sets included as Add On options to the big one, adding two additional shards to the book!

It came down to the last few days but we managed to hit every Stretch Goal we'd posted and nearly hit 250% of our funding target!

Thanks to stretch goal achievement and backer vote, the final version of Scion: Mythic Shards will include a sixth shard!

LOST TIME will have 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.

AND! Thanks to your support and participation in our poll, the final version of Scion: Mythic Shards will include a SEVENTH shard!

JOURNEY TO THE WILD WEST is  Journey to the West, but it's set in the Wild West. Wuxia cowboys!

Can't wait to see what the writers do with those ideas!!

I'm glad we were able to unlock all 5 of the Storyguide Reference sections, more excited that we managed to unlock all 5 sets of dice Add Ons, but most excited that we added two new shards to the book.

And all of that is, of course, on top of our main purpose here - the creating of the actual book itself! This is the real reward - everything else is a bonus!

So a huge congratulations to Kim and Hiromi and the creative team on this project, and to all of the backers who've joined in to make this possible. I'm happy about the goals we hit and rewards we introduced, but I'm also always amazed and excited about having so many backers join in during this campaign. Even though Scion is an established line, there's always some trepidation and hesitation when new material that strays from the "Core Four" books is presented, but the ideas here are just so cool and I'm glad the team took the chance!

So, thank you to all the backers who supported us and made this happen. And an extra thanks to everyone who participated online, either in the Community comments section of the campaign, and on social media around the web. Thanks to everyone who talked about the project on the Discord and thanks to the Onyx Path team who answered questions and provided insight.

So, as noted in today's earlier update, starting in September I'll be sending out updates once a month and whenever we've got a new goal, survey, or other item to cover. If you have any questions or need clarification on something related to the campaign, feel free to get in touch. I may take a bit to answer as I recover from these past four weeks and sneak in a a quick anniversary dinner somewhere in there, but I'll eventually have an answer!

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:

Let's all gather together At The Gates!

The Discord is particularly lively, and I loved seeing the thoughts and jokes as the chapters came out bit by bit. 

BackerKit will begin collected pledges and processing payments later tonight, so be ready for that.

High fives all around in the comment section and on the Discord, and you'll hear from me again in a month-or-so when I've got the pledge manager set up and ready to roll out!
