July 2021 Update
over 2 years ago – Tue, Jul 27, 2021 at 11:36:50 AM

Hello Risers,

A brief update for the end of July. As mentioned last month, the Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention had a Storypath Q&A panel, and now I'm happy to share it with you.

Danielle Lauzon, Ian A. A. Watson, Catie Griffin,  Neall Raemonn Price, and Eddy Webb to discuss various aspects of the Storypath system and how it varies through different game lines.

You'll see the Onyx Path team shine the spotlight on Storypath a bit more in the next while. In addition to the Tasty Bits mini-supplements they've been releasing, they're introducing a new streamed series that they're calling Storypath Showcase.

From the latest Onyx Path Monday Meeting Notes:

Storypath Showcase is a new actual play anthology series that presents games using the Storypath System though short, exciting, and digestible story arcs. Beginning with Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, this show presents a session zero detailing character creation followed by a 2-4 episode arc. When an arc is completed, the show moves to a new setting with a new cast. Storypath Showcase gives the viewer the opportunity to learn about our many worlds and see the Storypath System in action. The sessions are prerecorded so the Storyguide and some cast members will be in the chat to answer questions or talk about the stream’s events.
This Saturday, join us at 6 PM EDT for Aberrant Episode 1: Dead Drop, in which Team Tonight’s bench roster is activated to investigate the murder of a Project Utopia operative who was undercover with the Megasyndicate. If you missed the Session Zero stream, don’t worry! It’s available to Twitch subscribers on VOD and will be on the OnyxPath YouTube channel soon!
Following Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, we will run Trinity Continuum Core, followed by games from all our Storypath lines including Scion, They Came From…!, and Dystopia Rising: Evolution!

June 2021 Update
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 30, 2021 at 10:35:24 AM

Hello Risers,

A quick update at the end of June.

Last month I mentioned the Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention for 2021. There were many great panels and games and I hope you were able to check some of them out. Next month, I'm hoping to have a recording of the Storypath panel that I can share with you. 

But, for this month, let's dig right in:

May 2021 Update
almost 3 years ago – Wed, May 26, 2021 at 11:44:40 PM

Hello Risers,

Hello Changelings,

Nothing much on our final Stretch Goal reward yet, I'm afraid. We're still seeing the fallout from 2020, as Onyx Path recovers from a million little schedule shifts and productivity hits from the past 16 months. I think they've got a lot sorted out, and I'm hopeful we'll soon see the fruits of their efforts.

But you can probably find out a lot more about that in a few weeks...

ONYX PATH VIRTUAL GAMING CONVENTION

Before I review our reward status, let me announce (or, copy Onyx Path's announcement!) the Second Onyx Path Virtual Gameing Convention will be coming to you live starting Friday, June 11th and running until Sunday, June 13th (including a special post-con Jackbox gamefest Sunday night hosted by Dixie)!

The GM Sign-up Page & Code of Conduct for OPP Con are now live:

Code of Conduct: https://intercom.help/startplayinggames/en/articles/5208570-onyx-path-code-of-conduct
GM Sign-up: https://intercom.help/startplayinggames/en/articles/5217651-onyx-path-virtual-gaming-convention-2021-faq

For More Info: https://blog.startplaying.games/posts/announcing-onyx-path-virtual-gaming-convention-2021

Here are some listings for their planned panels and Actual Play sessions:

A few things to highlight in there:

The What's Up With Onyx Path? panel on Saturday, June 12th at 12:00 PM EDT, and the Storypath Q&A panel at 3:00 PM EDT that same day could be of interest.

Coming Tomorrow to Kickstarter

The Realm of the Dragon-Blooded stands astride the ruins of the First Age, an empire that touches every land in Creation. For hundreds of years, its Scarlet Empress clenched an iron fist around the throat of the world. But now the Empress is gone, and the Realm spirals ever towards civil war. Enemies bare their fangs at the gates of empire, while hidden agents work in Heaven’s name to break the tides of chaos. Dark powers prepare to conquer the lands of the living, and in the spaces between walk beings both alive and not. Heroes come from thwarted destinies and lost worlds and the horrors of Hell itself, or they are Chosen by lesser gods to champion a cause. Some Exalted are found in time-lost vaults awaiting their final destiny, and some of the Exalted are reborn as heroes of legend long hunted by the Realm but now free to seize their own fate.

Exalted: Essence features streamlined rules for a new way of playing a classic game, incorporating story-focused action and a presentation designed to appeal to new players and longtime fans alike. Featuring multiple classic Exalt types with Charms for each, written to enable ease of play, Exalted: Essence emphasizes story over character, character over mechanics, and mechanics over minutiae in order to drive Exalted: Essence toward engaging players with the myriad stories they can tell in the world of Creation.

Launching on Kickstarter Tomorrow - Thursday, May 27th at 2:00 PM EDT!

April 2021 Update
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Apr 29, 2021 at 12:12:34 AM

Hello Risers,

We've got our final project still stuck in the editing pile up from the 2020/21 pandemic mess, but there are still Dystopia Rising: Evolution projects sneaking through.

NOW AVAILABLE AT DRIVETHRURPG.COM

A new DR:E release

Now available in PDF from DriveThruRPG: Storypath Tasty Bit: Heroes of the Wastes for Dystopia Rising: Evolution!

When the bombs fell and the dead rose, our ancestors thought the world had ended. Against all odds, it didn’t. Instead, it grew into something new, saturated with radiation and transformed by the Infection. Now, we band together to survive, or we die alone. Join us and become one of the heroes of the wastes. It’s time to fight for a new era.

Heroes of the Wastes gives you a colorful cast of premade characters for Dystopia Rising: Evolution to choose from, as well as story hooks to help you get started with your own tabletop game.

This PDF is part of the “Storypath Tasty Bits” program, where every month in 2021 Onyx Path offers a small product that ties into one of its Storypath games.
