I know it hasn't been two weeks, but I'm already back with our update for September! I didn't want to wait until our regular Trinity Continuum update day because I have exciting news for you this month! Our Backer PDF is ready to go out!
Reward Distribution: TRINITY CONTINUUM PLAYER'S GUIDE Backer PDF
The Trinity Continuum Talents Player’s Guide is a guide to playing Talents from the core era and beyond. Much of what’s in this book gives ways to take your game of Trinity Continuum to the next level. While this book is focused on the core rulebook and the games played there, the advice and rules found in this book can be used in any of the Trinity Continuum eras where Talents (daredevils or squires) are found.
Inside you’ll find:
New rules for car chases, heists, investigations, and antagonists.
Expanded Allegiances from the minor Allegiances found in the Trinity Continuum Core Rulebook.
Information about parallel worlds, travel into the past, the microverse, undersea travel, and planetary gates.
New Gifts, Edges, Paths, Gear, and Skill Tricks for Talents.
Advice on how to take your Storypath games to the next level.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Trinity Continuum Player's Guide Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24hours if it is on your expected list of rewards.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://trinity-continuum-player-s-guide.backerkit.com and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the TCPGFeedback Form!
Onyx Path will be launching a special Trinity Continuum Player's GuideFeedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/4jJJH6gnxyU7Cmg86
They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.
Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Crowdfunding support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
REWARDS STILL PENDING
The Player's Guide is now out to backers, but not finished! With your feedback, the Onyx Path team will finalize the book, create the index and begin locking down the specs for the hardcover print run. Now that this big step is completed, though, I'll check in with the team and see if they're able to shift any attention to our remaining rewards.
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-player-s-guide.backerkit.com
You can read Onyx Path's most recent monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <August 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.

NOW FUNDING ON BACKERKIT
In 2017 Onyx Path unveiled the Storypath System, the rules engine that has come to power many of our games: the sci-fi universe of hope, heroism, and peril known as the Trinity Continuum, the modern-day stories of old gods and titans called Scion Second Edition,and the trope-focused exploration of genres that is the They Came From! series, and more.
We're extremely proud of what we’ve done over the years with Storypath, but felt it was time to tighten up the rules, smooth off the rough edges, and get rid of anything that got in the way of telling amazing stories. As a result, we’ve created the Storypath Ultra Core Manual.
Storypath Ultra isn’t a new edition, nor is it a replacement rule set — many of the concepts we developed and refined from the Storypath System are still there, even as they rearrange or rename things to make them as clear as possible. Think of it as a new take on Storypath: It’s the same great game but spruced up and tweaked to be the best possible version.
