Well, many brave souls heard the call yesterday! Shortly after I sent out the update noting we were very close to hitting our funding target (I think we were about $50 shy at that point), many many amazing backers joined in on our project and helped us achieve our funding goal.
That's right - we've all come together to support Onyx Path's efforts to make this quirky, cool game and now the project is officially FUNDED!
Before we get into talk about possible Stretch Goals, however, I've got one other bit of interest to share with you today!
Over on Onyx Path's Youtube channel, you can hear the first of their Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars"Letters from the Front," dipping into the lives and world of the people in this alternate history. An amazing bit of setting introduction! Check it out!
As we increase the overall funding and support for the project, we’re able to add additional resources to the project, expand the rewards listed, and add in new offers and opportunities. Each Stretch Goal will have a target that, once reached, will add a project to the reward list for backers of the relevant Reward Level Pledge Role. Whenever we achieve a stretch goal, the listing will be updated to reflect the achievement.
[LOCKED] At $17,000 in Funding - TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS - LEVIATHAN SUPPLEMENT
We will create a PDF supplement introducing a new threat for the war rigs to face - titanic beasts that rise from the depths. Delving into the origin of these monsters, this supplement will be released for purchase on DriveThruRPG and added as a free bonus reward to all backers receiving the Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars hardcover book as part of their rewards.

[LOCKED] At $18,000 in Funding - DIGITAL WALLPAPER
Fantastic TC: Steam Wars artwork will be used to create a wallpaper for your computer desktop. This digital wallpaper will be added as a free bonus reward for all backers supporting this project. [Envoy reward tier+]
I know that we're only in the earliest days of this campaign and backers have just had access to the first two chapters so far, and we've still got lots of content to come our way... but it's always fun to think about what else we could do with the game.
While there's tons of material and many, many game sessions you can run with the stuff included in the Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars book ... what if your Steam Rigs also had the threat of giant kaiju? This potential supplement would introduce a new monstrous threat for our War Rigs and can be used to take the game in entirely new directions. In fact, just the thought of these creatures has begun inspiring intrepid Steam Wars® creator and artist on this project, Larry Blamire, to begin some sketches!
Again, nothing is written and this Stretch Goal supplement is only at the very initial concept stage, but will become a reality if we unlock that first Sretch Goal funding target!
So please continue to spread the word! Share the message in your social circles and on your social media! This project is now funded, so the Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars book will become a fully-developed reality. New backers will be able to read along with the manuscript downloads as they come out, know that the project will happen, and help us add even more content and potential rewards for backers!
While we continue to recruit new backers, we're also going to keep getting sneak previews from upcoming chapters! Later this week, we'll take a look at some rules for Boarding Parties and a peek at Large Scale Combat!
And next Tuesday we'll have our chapter outlining the Storypath Ultra system for TC: Steam Wars!
