An exciting day today! To start, we've got the final manuscript draft preview for you today - featuring the excellent Storyguide chapter as well as the Setting Secrets appendix. We're also about to hit our 48 hour countdown for these final days - usually a great time for new backers to jump on before the end and maybe unlock a final Stretch Goal before we come to the finish line.
Our chapters today:
Chapter Seven: Storyguiding Aegis discusses the types of stories you can tell in this setting, and includes safety rules to use at your table. It explores ways you can dial up or down the involvement of gods in your game. Finally, it provides new antagonists for your characters to face.
Appendix: Setting Secrets offers more information about what happened the night the skies lit up over Mount Olympus, and how the starfall affected locations throughout the world. It also provides advice for Storyguides to handle ways in which the characters’ actions might affect the timeline.
And speaking of Stretch Goals... we'll review our overall progress tomorrow, but yesterday we unlocked another goal and announced two more Stretch Goal targets that will serve as a few final targets for us in this campaign.
At $45,000 in Funding- Trinity Continuum: AegisVTT 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.
Let's see if we can't some additional Argonauts to help on our epic quest before the end!
International Shipping – Collected in the Pledge Manager
And our regular reminder about International Shipping before we get into the manuscript previews. Unlike many previous Onyx Path projects, we won’t be collecting funds to cover International Shipping during this Crowdfunding campaign. Instead, 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.
Feedback Form
Throughout the campaign, I'll be sharing a new update whenever we've got the next section of our Draft Manuscript available to preview. Before the conclusion of the campaign, you'll be able to read the entire draft manuscript for Trinity Continuum: Aegis and know exactly what to expect and exactly what you're helping to build.
In fact, you can help build it even better! The Onyx Path team has created a special Feedback Form that you can use to provide feedback on the draft manuscript to help guide the writers and developers through the next stages of work on this project.
Remember, thanks to BackerKit magic, these download links are visible to Backers only - you must be logged in and reading this on the website to have access to the manuscript preview links.
