Hello Deep Delvers,

I'm back with our final month end status check-in of 2024! I'm coming to you a bit early this month for a pretty obvious reason - the time crunch and shifting schedule around the year end holidays! I'm buying myself some free time to wind down and enjoy my family. Maybe with a game or two!

So let's get into our Review!

Right now, the Onyx Path team has your feedback from the Backer PDF that went out at the end of October and are nearly finished finalizing the PDF for wide release and beginning the print prep process. Also, since The World Below was the first game released using Storypath Ultra, we get the benefit of a few tweaks and adjustments that came from subsequent SPU campaigns like At The Gates and Curseborne! So the final version will have all of the corrections in place and we'll be able to download from our DTRPG digital library when it's available.

Beyond that, incremental progress in the background but not enough to fill in a dot yet. I'm hoping we'll see lots more filled in over 2025!

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://the-world-below.backerkit.com/

You can read Onyx Path's most recent monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <November 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.

Remember: You can use the links at the bottom of this e-mail to unsubscribe from updates or Manage your notification settings. These status updates are available on the campaign page for you to review at any time.

Final Hours to join in on Crowdfunding by BackerKit

The Alchemical Exalted are the Chosen of the Machine God, biomechanical demigods forged from divine metal and heroic souls. They do not rule the Eight Nations, but serve as Champions of the people, a sacred duty greater than any ambition. The eldest of Alchemicals transcend their human forms to become metropoli, living cities that offer the Eight Nations a stronghold against Autochthonia’s perils.

The Realm of Brass and Shadows is unforgiving, and the Eight Nations find themselves faced with many challenges: cataclysmic upheavals of Autochthon’s world-machinery, incursions of gruesome techno-organic gremlins, and the ever-present threat to their livelihoods. All the while, the slumbering Autochthon grows ever sicker, his corrupting Blight metastasizing throughout his world-body. Despair not. There is work to be done.

Alchemicals: Forged by the Machine God is an expansion for the Exalted Third Edition tabletop roleplaying game. It’s set in a mythic world where spirits walk openly among humanity, warring demigods topple kingdoms, and the restless dead roam on moonless nights. Heroes granted divine power contend against one another for the future of Creation. These are the Exalted!
