Latest Updates from Our Project:

January '23: Monthly Update
about 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 26, 2023 at 12:04:44 PM

Hello Hunters,

Welcome to the first update of 2023. We're still holding vigil - we've got two final Stretch Goal rewards that are working their way towards us. One quick note, and then we'll check in and see where we're at.

The Onyx Path Chronicles of Darkness Forums Are Back!

After breaking under the strain of awesome threads, the Onyx Path team have re-vamped, repaired, and re-organized their forums.  They work again! Feel free to drop by the Onyx Path Forums or any of the Chronicles-specific forums (and note that each line now has their own sub-forum as well!)

STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING

Tending the Flame, our Hunter companion unlocked during the kickstarter campaign, has begun preliminary layout. There are still many steps to go, but it's great to see it moving along on the production side. Our jumpstart is in editing, getting the manuscript all tidied up and together before a final round of development.

So, there's still a ways to go, but bit by bit these final pieces will get completed and out to us.

REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS

Dec '22: Hunter Monthly Summary
over 1 year ago – Thu, Dec 29, 2022 at 01:07:39 AM

Hello Hunters,

Well, we're just about finished with 2022, so time for one last monthly update for the year. 

After a big pandemic-related delay at the printer, Hunter got back on track in 2022 and our hardcover books were finally shipped out and delivered to backers in the summer! This is one of those books that I was so eager to have in my hands, and I was very happy when it finally delivered.

2023 is looking to be a great year for our supplemental releases, with our final two Stretch Goals working their way along the progress track. Tending the Flame, our Hunter Companion, is sliding ahead while the Hunter Jumpstart is finishing up in editing. Let's review what lies ahead and how far we've come.

STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING

Tending the Flame is now set for the final development pass, where the developers will ensure the voice and tone are consistent throughout the book, as well as creating all of the art notes to pass to the art director for the next phase of the project. Can't wait for this one!

CURRENTLY FUNDING

The Sidereal Exalted are many things: Starry-eyed seers gifted with insight into the nature of fate. Elite agents of Heaven, troubleshooting threats to destiny in Creation and beyond. Legendary martial artists, whose secret techniques strike the soul and shatter reality. Celestial powerbrokers and intriguers who treat with gods as equals. Puppetmasters who steer the course of nations with a word in a queen’s ear.

And yet it is their their curse to be forgotten by the world.

Sidereals: Charting Fate’s Course 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!

Oct '22: Monthly Check in, Lore Video
over 1 year ago – Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 04:39:16 PM

Hello Hunters,

As we slide through the final week of October, it's time for our regular monthly check in.

As a reminder, all hardcover rewards have shipped. I'm currently fighting a battle with FedEx over a couple shipments stuck in paperwork limbo, but everything else should have delivered.

TRACKING INFORMATION

If you were set to receive a hardcover copy of Hunter: The Vigil as a kickstarter reward, your book has shipped and should have delivered by now. If you haven't received it yet, please check your tracking and confirm that it's still en route. Sometimes I'll hear from backers that had no idea the book was being held at a local post office or had delivered to their next door neighbor. The courier and delivery companies keep tracking information for about 6 months, so if you've got any issues, please let me know as soon as possible so we can sort them out. See Contacting James below. By, let's say, February we may not have access to full tracking information. At that point, I'm going to assume that everything went fine, so if you have an issue please contact me as soon as possible.

If you need to read a longer example of tracking your project and double-checking your Backerkit page, you can <click here> to review August's update, which went over that before books had prepped to ship.

TWILIGHT NETWORK: LORE & DISCUSSION

One person who can talk about Hunter: The Vigil at length is Liam Conway of the Twilight Network youtube videos. This is the first in a multi-part series going over the lore of Hunter:

As noted, this is just the first of three videos. You can find the rest on Youtube (2, 3), so check 'em out.

STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING

Final two stretch goals are in editing.

Sept '22: Tracking Info, Monthly Check In
over 1 year ago – Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 08:10:31 PM

Hello Hunters,

No big announcements this month - we've got a few Stretch Goals making progress, most of the hardcovers have shipped out (most have delivered, actually!), but it's the end of the month and time to touch base and review where we stand.

HARDCOVER REWARDS HAVE SHIPPED

Well, the various pieces to go out came in throughout the month of September. At this point, I think there are about a handful of books still to go out, but I expect them to be finished by the end of the week. The vast majority have delivered already, with the remainder in transit.  

TRACKING INFORMATION

If you were set to receive a hardcover copy of Hunter: The Vigil as a kickstarter reward, your book has shipped and likely delivered by now. If you haven't received it yet, please check your tracking and confirm that it's still en route. Sometimes I'll hear from backers that had no idea the book was being held at a local post office or had delivered to their next door neighbor. The courier and delivery companies keep tracking information for about 6 months, so if you've got any issues, please let me know as soon as possible so we can sort them out. See Contacting James below. By, let's say, February we may not have access to full tracking information. At that point, I'm going to assume that everything went fine, so if you have an issue please contact me as soon as possible.

STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING

Wow, that list is getting shorter each month! Our final two Stretch Goals have moved ahead on the progress path and are now in editing.
