Project Update: April '24 Update - Aegis Atlas Preview
No big changes to our progress tracking this month, work continues behind the scenes. But I do have a preview from our big Stretch Goal projects for you today! We're going to spend our next three updates taking a look at the Aegis Atlas!
Aegis Atlas Preview 1
Colchis
People of Interest
- Medea: Medea has a vision of a nation — nay, an entire world — governed by the wisest and best among humanity. Thanks to her passion and her nearly bottomless treasury, she’s advancing ever closer to her goals. But while she’s focused on exploring just how much Inspired minds can shape the world and on her own marvelous creations like her golden ram automaton, she leaves many affairs of state to her counselors, who she assumes are loyal to her. While many are, philosophers and engineers are no better or more ethical than any other group of people, and plenty of them seek to exploit Medea’s vision for their own ends. Colchis is one crisis away from losing faith in its leader, and plenty of people make plans to replace her if she stumbles.
- Pateis: Pateis inhaled the vapors of Ambrosia and grew strong — and charming, and handsome. It gave him many gifts, in fact, but it didn’t make him an Oracle. As long as he’s in Colchis, he’ll never have the influence he craves. Pateis is the heir to a merchant family, part of Colchis’s elite. But since the sky chariot fell, Queen Medea listens to her pet philosophers and inventors, valuing their insights over those of her own people. Medea herself would say that’s because Pateis has nothing wise or insightful to offer; he’s simply a demagogue. He’s an effective one, and he’s gathered several other like-minded people. So far, they daren’t move against Medea, but that time will come — once they’ve gathered enough wonders and engineers to rival her own.

So our main Stretch Goal reward, the Aegis Atlas, has had some forward movement over the year end and is now in approvals. Once the Onyx Path team gives it the green light, it'll go for another round of development before heading to editing. Our main book is still in the post-editing development phase.

As noted last month, I'll be sending a quick progress report at the end of each month, to keep us all on the same page. Regular communication should be constant and consistent, and that means I'll have a bunch of boring updates and every once-in-a-while something cool for you.

Some movement on our Stretch Goal supplement, the Aegis Atlas. Last month we showed that the writers were in the middle of the revision process, going back and forth with the developers and incorporating their "redline" suggestions. Now the manuscript is finished with the writers and back in the hands of the Developers where they take it and turn all of the different parts into one cohesive whole.

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDING
Join in on the latest Exalted expansion sourcebook
Never before has Creation known the perils of the Abyssal Exalted. They have emerged from the gloom of the Underworld as champions of death, sworn to the service of the Deathlords and the Neverborn. Each was offered the gift of the Bleak Exaltation at the moment of their own demise, and each chose to willingly become an agent of the apocalypse. Their motivations are as manifold as any others — they may seek destruction or domination, malice or justice, ancient secrets hidden and forbidden or sheer iron-willed survival.
In service to their lieges, these deathknights will grind the Underworld to heel and scour life from the face of Creation. Or…they might break from those oaths and set themselves up as death’s own Lawgivers, ruling empires of the dead as sages, arbiters, and reapers. All that can be known for sure is that with the Abyssal Exalted loosed upon the world, it will never be the same again.

Project Update: October '23 Monthly Update
MONTHLY UPDATES
This is officially the first "regular" monthly update for our project. I'll send these updates out every month to let you know where we sit. We're still in the earliest stages of this post-campaign, where projects make incremental movements along the progress path. A lot of months will be pretty similar, just a quick note to let you know that the Onyx Path team is still working on it. Any time we have a new reward or something of interest to share, I'll include that as well.

REGULAR MONTHLY UPDATES
REWARDS STILL PENDING
So, still in the very earliest stages. Our main reward, the Trinity Continuum: Aegis book, is in post-editing development. This means the book has gone through the major editing process, but final tweaks and changes are incorporated by the developers to ensure the book speaks in one voice and is consistent throughout.
Really exciting to see our main Stretch Goal project, the Aegis Atlas supplement, has already had writers submit their first drafts! Now the developer is working on redlines - revisions and instructions for the writers to incorporate as they work towards their final draft and hand it off to the development team.

Project Update: The Pledge Manager is about to Open! Surveys will be going out this week!
Well, it's been a little bit longer than I'd anticipated, but here we are just past the middle of September and I've just finished hammering the BackerKit Pledge Manager into shape and have begun prepping it for launch this week.
This will likely be the first of two updates over the next two weeks. Once we've got a healthy survey response - something like 85% - I'll prepare our first wave of rewards: the existing PDFs that were offered as Add Ons and bonuses (like the other Trinity Continuum books and the supplements). I'll send out an update when that process is about to begin.
Beyond that, starting at the end of October 2023, I will send out the first of our regular month end updates. Near the end of each month, I will be sending out an update with status notes on our main projects as well as the Stretch Goal projects we added. As noted in previous updates, these projects take a long time to put together. You've seen the manuscript preview PDFs, but there are still many moving pieces and puzzles to solve in turning these manuscripts into awesome books. These month-end updates ensure that communication is constant and consistent, and that we're all on the same page with regards to where we stand.
BACKER SURVEYS
I think everyone has a BackerKit login, thanks to backing this project, but if you don't for some reason, you won’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey (although that may help keep things organized if you've got multiple projects going.) When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey invitation link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
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://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com
If you have any other questions or concerns, you can post them to the comments for this update, the comment section, or message me via one of these methods:
TO CONTACT JAMES
- Via E-Mail: Onyx.Kickstarter [at] gmail.com
- Via BackerKit: Click "Need Help?" from your page, and then fill in the Contact Us form. BackerKit will pass your message along to me.
If there are any issues you find with the Pledge Manager, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know. It rolls out in waves so that I can correct issues on the fly and make it work as best possible as people come on board.
Within the BackerKit Survey and Pledge Manager, you can:
- Review your Pledge Tier Selection and Rewards
- Upgrade your Reward Tier pledge selection
- Confirm Add On selections
- Set up payment information for any failed payments from the Crowdfunding campaign or to pay for any new Add On options selected.
From the BackerKit Survey welcome page you can choose to
- Review Your Pledge Level and Rewards
- Start Your Survey, confirming pledge rewards, confirming or selecting new Add On options, and confirming any shipping and payment info that may be needed
- Switch Your Pledge Level
Again, I suggest you don't switch to any pledge levels containing the hardcover book at this stage, and instead wait until the books are preparing to print and we have set up international shipping costs so you'll know exactly what your final costs will be before we lock down orders.
If you've pledged to the $5 tier and want to add the PDF to your rewards, you DO want to switch Pledge Levels instead. You can either click on your Pledge Level or Switch Pledge Level to upgrade to a tier that includes the PDF.
Once you've confirmed that your Pledge Level is correct and where you want it to be, you can GET STARTED with your BackerKit Pledge Manager Survey.
- Look for an e-mail invitation to the BackerKit Pledge Manager sometime over the next few days
- Get Started on your survey
- Confirm your Pledge Level (or SWITCH your Pledge Level if you want to change it)
- Confirm and Select Any Add On options
- Confirm Your Shipping Information (if needed)
- Confirm Your Payment Information (if needed)

Project Update: Aegis Accomplished!
We did it! Working as a crew, more than 975 backers came together to help fund the development and production of Trinity Continuum: Aegis, a brand new rules and setting supplement for the Trinity Continuum tabletop RPG.
And there's more to celebrate! Not only did we fund this project (in just over 9 hours!), but we also unlocked a variety of fun Stretch Goals. From some standard Onyx Path milestone markers to a brand new supplement for the team to develop and write, we've come together and hit just about every Achievement target that had been set up!
Some Milestone Markers
And Online Gaming Tools
Add On Storyguide Tools
Additional and Expanded Content Supplement
That's pretty great! That's pretty inspiring! But what more could I'd expect nothing else from Trinity Continuum players and fans?!
Despite a few decades history and a new edition relaunch back in 2018, it's always a trip into the unknown when a new setting is introduced for the Trinity Continuum. Straying from the three "classic" eras has been exciting and bold and unpredictable, but I'm so happy to see the Continuum Community come out again to support these projects and expand this game line. I remember Ian sharing vague notes and ideas about Aegis back when the Trinity Continuum crowdfunded the core book and Æon in 2018, and it's sort of amazing to see rumors and rough ideas fully manifest just six years later.
SEVEN STRETCH GOALS
Those celebrations and milestone markers along the way are fun - I certainly like having something to mark our accomplishments during the campaign and they help keep the enthusiasm up. But I really really love when we can add additional content, especially an a chance for the writers to travel around the globe a bit to show us what else is going on in that era, as well as the opportunity to expand on some of the locations and people that could use more space than the book would hold.
AN EXTRA THANK YOU!

Loving all of this. see below so setting secrets spoilers hopefully don't just pop up. All of this comes from debris from a far future space station (from earth), flung back through time after an explosion, were there also escape pods or the like that made it? Ambrosia is nanotechnology that is designed to repair the space station and heal its inhabitants, since it is "used to" flux does that imply that it "inspires" any with the potential that it comes into contact with in the far future? If so, does it do so in a way similar to Champions, Oracles, and Olympians, or closer to Talents, Psions/Psiads, and Novas as the underlying Quantum/Subquantum backdrop has been radically altered since? Does this also imply that the nanotechnology can/does replace the Prometheus Chambers? Also potentially implying that psiads replace psions and eventually reach full power themselves? Are we looking to see a far future Trinity Continuum Setting? Maybe Ascension? I would be quite interested in seeing what y'all come up with for that! Side note: some of the things that Oracles and even Mesmers can do can't really be accomplished by Psions/Psiads I believe. Is there a way for a psion/psiad to learn these capabilities? I am not sure if that could be an appropriate supplement or tasty bit.

Project Update: Final Hours - Checklist & What Comes Next
Welcome to the final hours of this campaign! We've had a pretty great run - funding quickly on the first day and then unlocking SEVEN Stretch Goals along the way. We're closing in on 950 backers, which is just amazing!
The best part of this campaign, though, is that we have successfully funded this project! Thanks to everyone who's come out to support this campaign, we'll be getting this amazing book and heading back in time!
Oh yeah - I said seven Stretch Goals... because we've just unlocked another one!
ACHIEVED! - At $45,000 in Funding- Trinity Continuum: Aegis VTT Token Pack - Digital assets will be created to support online play for Trinity Continuum: Aegis, including key character and antagonist tokens from the book. This online asset pack will be added to the rewards list of all backers
That's one more bonus reward for everyone who backs this project! Let's see if we can get our backer count over 950 so even more members of the Continuum Community get to share in this achievement!
FINAL DAY CHECKLIST
1. Know What You're Supporting
Backers can read the entire current draft of the manuscript <HERE>. Please make sure you read the manuscript before the campaign concludes so you know exactly what you're pledging to support.
2. Pledge Tier and Add Ons
- The Nautikoi: This is the PDF-only reward allegiance. So, if you're saving trees or saving shelf space - or avoiding the shipping charges that are absolutely ever-increasing - this is the reward tier options that you should begin with. The PDF will be fulfilled by our partners at DriveThruRPG.com - when it is ready, you will receive a link to add it to your DTRPG library at no cost and be able to download at your leisure.
- The Society of the Lion: This reward allegiance includes the hardcover version of this book. In addition, this option also includes the PDF version, so you will get a digital copy as described above. It'll look amazing on your shelf, especially if they're placed next to your other Trinity Continuum books, but may incur shipping costs depending on your location. As noted, international shipping charges will be calculated later and charged in the Pledge Manager. We'll have exact shipping costs once the book is in production and we know the specifications, but we do expect it to be expensive. See our estimates on the front pate. If you're an international backer, you can pledge at the The Nautikoi tier and upgrade to The Society of the Lion tier once the shipping costs are known before we lockdown orders.

- The Delphic League: If you want access to the manuscript previews but don't yet know if you want the PDFs or hardcover rewards, this tier also grants you access to the Pledge Manager after the campaign so you can upgrade your pledge in the future.
- The Fellowship of Āšipu: A digital entry into the Trinity Continuum, this pledge path contains PDF versions of both Trinity Continuum: Aegis as well as the Trinity Continuum Core Rules.
- Scribes of the Shell, Circle of Heroes: A few Reward Allegiances offer special limited premium rewards in addition to the basics, including an option to act as a Art Model or a chance to supply a name to be used by an NPC included in a supplement. Check each of the Pledge Tier descriptions for more details.
ADD ON REWARDS- the other half of the Reward Tiers update, including information on the second step of pledging. There are several Add On options that you can include for as part of your pledge process. including the other Trinity Continuum books and related supplement bundles, and the Aegis Reference Screen, which we unlocked via Stretch Goal achievement.
ADD ON selections will be available in the post-campaign Pledge Manager as well.
SO: Ensure that you've selected the Reward Tier you want, and select any Add On options you wish to include. AND - make sure that you are comfortable with the Pledge amount, in terms of it covering everything you want and the affordability of the pledge at this moment!
- Choose a Reward Tier You Can Afford
- Read the Manuscripts and Make Sure You Know What You're Getting
- Be Aware of the Projected Delivery Date (Onyx Path will try to deliver earlier than this, but the book will take some time to get perfect)

WHAT COMES NEXT?
3. AFTER THE CAMPAIGN ENDS
In addition to providing the crowdfunding platform for this campaign, BackerKit is also Onyx Path's regular Pledge Manager partner.
BackerKit provides a robust fulfillment integration and pledge management program that will allow us to work with all of the data and distribute the rewards to you. It will take me a few weeks to set the project up. Once I've got it all entered and built, the team from BackerKit will review to ensure I didn't mess anything up too badly, and then I'll make any changes they've suggested and we can move on to the Survey stage.
4. BACKERKIT SURVEYS
5. REWARD DISTRIBUTION
This is a long process, but I will send out regular updates (usually at the end of the month) to keep you up to speed on Onyx Path's progress. There will be strings of updates that are just "still working on it," but I will share new artwork or information when I can.
So - one final time - please spread the word to any potential backers and fans, and thanks so much for a great campaign!

Project Update: Final Days Review - Stretch Goals
We're in the final HOURS of this campaign now, with just under 25 hours left to go as I post this. The Trinity Continuum: Aegis crowdfunding campaign ends tomorrow - Thursday, August 17th at 2:00 PM EDT. There's still a tiny bit of time to inspire other talents to join our Allegiance but we're definitely getting closer to the finish line. With that in mind, I've been touching on some of the basics to make sure that everyone has all of the information they need to support the project in the way that works best for them.
Final Days Schedule
- Aug 11 - Chapter 7 Preview - Antagonists
- Aug 13 - Reward Tiers & Add Ons
- Aug 15 - Draft Manuscript Preview #6 - Chapter 7 + Appendix for backers
- Aug 16 - Stretch Goal review
- Aug 17 - Final Day Checklist and Next Steps
Whether you're a veteran of many voyages or just setting sail on your first adventure, there are some good topics to review over this week to make sure we all end up where we want to be.
(An aside, if you're a new backer, make sure you check out our Final Week Countdown / Resource Update. It has links to the manuscript previews, podcasts, and fun fiction.)
If you've spent inspiration and are backing at +1 scale speed and don't have time to read all of that (you should still go through those posts), here are some key highlights:
- This book is a setting and rules expansion to the Trinity Continuum Core Rulebook and requires that book to make full use of the rules and options contained within. If you don't already have the Core Rulebook, there is a pledge tiers that include it alongside the Trinity Continuum: Aegis PDF (The Fellowship of Āšipu). You can also simply add the Core Rulebook to your rewards list via Add On option.
- We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. We’re still anticipating pretty hefty costs to ship the book internationally (see our current guesses on the front page) so be forewarned, but we’ll cross that enormous bridge when we get to it.
- All backers pledged to receive the Trinity Continuum: Aegis PDF will have the unlocked Stretch Goal supplement, which adds even more locations, persons of interest, super science and devices, added to their rewards list automatically as a bonus. Backers who pre-order at a later date will not receive this as a bonus reward.
- Backers are able to read the entire draft manuscript today - before any pledges are processed or payments collected. Know exactly what you're supporting before fully committing your funds.
Refresher Course
- The Nautikoi: This is the PDF-only reward allegiance. So, if you're saving trees or saving shelf space - or avoiding the shipping charges that are absolutely ever-increasing - this is the reward tier options that you should begin with. The PDF will be fulfilled by our partners at DriveThruRPG.com - when it is ready, you will receive a link to add it to your DTRPG library at no cost and be able to download at your leisure.
- The Society of the Lion: This reward allegiance includes the hardcover version of this book. In addition, this option also includes the PDF version, so you will get a digital copy as described above. It'll look amazing on your shelf, especially if they're placed next to your other Trinity Continuum books, but may incur shipping costs depending on your location. As noted, international shipping charges will be calculated later and charged in the Pledge Manager. We'll have exact shipping costs once the book is in production and we know the specifications, but we do expect it to be expensive. See our estimates on the front pate. If you're an international backer, you can pledge at the The Nautikoi tier and upgrade to The Society of the Lion tier once the shipping costs are known before we lockdown orders.
- The Delphic League: If you want access to the manuscript previews but don't yet know if you want the PDFs or hardcover rewards, this tier also grants you access to the Pledge Manager after the campaign so you can upgrade your pledge in the future.
ADD ON selections will be available in the post-campaign Pledge Manager as well.
Choose Wisely
In another discussion I noted that I like BackerKit's term "Achievement" more than our usual "Stretch Goal" terminology because I like the celebratory tone and how "Achievement" can cover a few different aspects of these bonus rewards. But we may have to really stretch to reach that last goal, so Stretch Goals are pretty appropriate for this update!
Before we talk about a target on the horizon, let's look at our journey thus far. Over the past 3 weeks, we've been working solidly through our Stretch Goal targets, to the point that we've already achieved SIX Stretch Goal targets - including one that we achieved only two days ago!
ACHIEVED! - At $25,000 in Funding - Trinity Continuum: Aegis Reference Screen – A three-panel Storyguide Reference Screen with charts and information for running a game set in the Aegis Age will be created and offered as an Add On to any hardcover reward tiers for +$25.
ACHIEVED! - At $28,000 in Funding - Trinity Continuum: Aegis T-shirt on Redbubble - An Aegis-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 - Aegis Atlas - A digital supplement spotlighting and expanding on some of the locations in the world of Aegis, with additional People of Interest and potential plot hooks. This PDF supplement will be automatically added to the rewards list of any backer receiving the Trinity Continuum: Aegis PDF as one of their rewards.
ACHIEVED! - At $33,000 in Funding - Trinity Continuum: Aegis Digital Wallpaper - Exciting Aegis artwork will be used to create a wallpaper for your computer desktop. This digital wallpaper will be added to the rewards list of all backers supporting this project.
Looking at these, I'm always happy with our regular milestone markers, the Backer T-Shirt and desktop wallpaper. I just changed my computer monitors a few days ago, and I like to update my screens every few months. I'm doing my best to enjoy the simple things in life.
But I'm really excited about our new content rewards. I'm always up for new locations, with especially ones that expand on some of the geography from this book - and then look to the wider world! And having a section for other Aegis-era "super science" will be cool as well! I think the developers and writers will have a great time when outlining content for the sections we've unlocked.
We're looking good to maybe add one more Stretch Goal... and then, with some great effort, we can maybe expand the Aegis Atlas PDF once more. Let's see what we've got lined up.
At $45,000 in Funding- Trinity Continuum: Aegis VTT Token Pack - Digital assets will be created to support online play for Trinity Continuum: Aegis, including key character and antagonist tokens from the book. This online asset pack will be added to the rewards list of all backers
At $50,000 in Funding - Aegis Atlas: Heroic Tales - Three fiction pieces will be added to the Aegis Atlas supplement, highlighting locations, character types, and organizations.
I'm guessing a lot of us have done a lot more online gaming over the past few years. Any time I can get new tools for my group, I'm happy. Even if we don't use them as tokens on a VTT map, these token packs are great to use as character inspiration, or NPC portraits, or just as visuals in describing a scene. I love gaming in person across the table, but schedules are complicated and many in my group now live in distant locations. It's fun to bring a little extra to the online experience to keep it exciting.
And after that, a real STRETCH for our final goal. One more expansion for the Aegis Atlas - new fiction. The pieces that have been shared so far are excellent. I love seeing the Trinity take on these epic legends and getting a sense of the setting and mysteries of the game, and how things are perceived and interpreted in-game, so more fiction would be a huge win in my book. I hope we get there.
YOUR REWARDS!
Not Much More Time
THIS CAMPAIGN ENDS AT 2:00 PM EDT on THURSDAY, AUGUST 17th, 2023

Project Update: Final Days Stretch Goals
Congratulations! We've just unlocked the last of our "mid-campaign" Stretch Goals that we had posted and are able to list a couple of final possible Stretch Goals for these final days.
With an expansion to the Aegis Atlas unlocked, let's see what Stretch Goals we'll have to carry us to the finish line...
At $45,000 in Funding- Trinity Continuum: Aegis VTT Token Pack - Digital assets will be created to support online play for Trinity Continuum: Aegis, including key character and antagonist tokens from the book. This online asset pack will be added to the rewards list of all backers
At $50,000 in Funding - Aegis Atlas: Heroic Tales - Three fiction pieces will be added to the Aegis Atlas supplement, highlighting locations, character types, and organizations.
Some pretty big targets for these final days, but I know that we've got a boatful of heroes ready to accomplish any epic task! Please continue to spread the word and let's see if we can't recruit some additional ambrosia-touched Argonauts to help us on our quest!
