We're rolling out a new system to grant PDF access, that does not require redeeming coupons (if you've backed one of our other recent campaigns you might be familiar with this process). So bear with us if there are any hiccups! We hope this will be an easier way for you to get your PDFs.

Project Update: The digital content is being released! And an update on our timeline
We are now able to release the digital content to you over the coming days.
We will use Backerkit to share the links with you, these will grant you access to copies of the digital maps and assets for this campaign.
You can find the links in your pledge manager survey under the "Digital Rewards" tab. If you need to recover your survey link you can do so here - https://the-cyberpunk-set.backerkit.com/
You will need a DrivethruRPG account to access the content, these are free and do not require you to input any payment information. The links will add the content to your DTRPG library, where you can download it at your leisure.
We will release the Roll20 content a week or so after the initial digital content so don't worry, it is on the way!
We also need to update you on our timeline for this project.
With the current tariff situation, we feel that a sensible approach would be to get our final mass sampling and safety and chemical testing done in May while we assess how things are changing, with the hope being we can start mass production in June to get this into you hands by the end of the summer.
As a result we will not be locking orders or charging cards until we have a confirmed shipping date.
It is likely we will see some disruption to international Sea Freight when the current situation improves, and we will need to be reasonably agile to minimise the impact of this as well.
We have dealt with challenging situations on previous campaign, and there are a range of options we have at our disposal to minimise the impacts of these current challenges. We are working with experts to predict where things are going so we will be best placed to act quickly when the time comes!
Thank you all once again for your support and patience! As always if you need anything, help accessing the digital content, or have a question please reach out to us [email protected].
Project Update: Digital Edition is in your inbox!
Thanks for your patience over the past couple of weeks while I waited for funds to arrive.
Because this is such a simple campaign with so few rewards, there's very little need for complex surveys. To that end, today I've sent out download keys for Blood In The Margins to you all via itch.io. You should find an email in your inbox containing that link. (If you can't see it, check your spam folder!) If you also picked up The Wonderful Discoverie of Witches you'll find a download link to that game, too.
I'll be sending the print files off tomorrow after some final checks. I anticipate printing taking two weeks, but I'll let you know for sure once the order is in. Once I have the physical copies in hand I'll be able to weigh them and figure out how much postage is going to cost, and then I'll send out links to the pledge manager so you can finalise your orders. At that time you'll also have the opportunity to say "hey, I actually use a different email for itch, can you re-send that digital code to me?"
Thanks again for your support. I hope you enjoy the game!
-Chris
Project Update: First Look at TTWH!
THEY HAVE ARRIVED!
Pledge Manager Coming Soon
The Elephant in the Room
What does this mean for The Time We Have?
I am still committed to bringing this game to release. The current plan is to hold on manufacturing/shipping until the tariffs come down to a more manageable rate. What that timeline looks like right now, I really can't say. But know I am actively working on a best solution to avoid having to delay this game for too long.
There is a world where tariffs come down to a rate that is well below the current level but remain a significant added cost. In that scenario, there may be a small additional cost for physical backers that would be reflected when we charge shipping. This will be communicated transparently if it becomes the solution.
For now, I am hopeful that we can stick with a Fall fulfillment/release, but that is all dependent on where things land tariff-wise. I'll keep you updated as I have more information and thank you so much for your patience.
Thank you
More soon,
Elliot

Project Update: FINAL HOURS: CHECKLIST & WHAT COMES NEXT
Welcome to the final hours of this campaign! We've had a pretty great run - funding very quickly and coming up to the end with more than 1,540 backers! We've unlocked TWELVE Stretch Goals, adding some cool bonus rewards for supporters of this campaign!
That's right - we've unlocked every posted Stretch Goal for this project, including the final one that I hadn't even announced yet! There was a longshot chance that I'd be sharing it today and maybe we'd need a mighty backer train to achieve, but we're already there! Amazing Work!
ACHIEVED At $105,000 in Funding - STREAMING OVERLAY
A set of overlays for your online game will be created, for your use when streaming your Exalted: Essence session. This reward will be added to the rewards list for all backers supporting this project. [DRAGON-BLOODED PLEDGE+]
The most important part of this campaign, though, is that we have successfully funded this project! Thanks to everyone who's come out to support this campaign, we'll be getting this cool book!
As mentioned, backers have unlocked some Stretch Goal milestones, a new novella, and a companion book that will be added to all pledge tiers containing one of the hardcover editions or available as an Add On for digital reward tiers.
FINAL DAY CHECKLIST
1. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING
2. PLEDGE TIERS and ADD ONS
The first decision you need to make in figuring out your reward tier is whether you want to receive the PDF, the standard hardcover version or the deluxe hardcover edition (all hardcovers also come with the PDF version).
Alchemical Exalted
This is the PDF-only reward tier. So, if you're saving trees or saving shelf space - or avoiding the shipping charges that are absolutely ever-increasing - this is the reward tier options that you should begin with. The PDF will be fulfilled by our partners at DriveThruRPG.com - when it is ready, you will receive a link to add it to your DTRPG library at no cost and be able to download at your leisure.
Sidereal Exalted
This reward tier includes the standard hardcover version of this book. Shipping costs ARE NOT included in the cost of your pledge. You will be charged for shipping after the campaign through the pledge manager. In addition, this option also includes the PDF version, so you will get a digital copy as described above. This reward tier also includes the "Essence Extended" PDF supplement built via Stretch Goal achievement as a free bonus reward.
Lunar Exalted
This reward tier includes the deluxe hardcover version of this book. Shipping costs ARE NOT included in the cost of your pledge. You will be charged for shipping after the campaign through the pledge manager. In addition, this option also includes the PDF version, so you will get a digital copy as described above. This reward tier also includes the "Essence Extended" PDF supplement built via Stretch Goal achievement as a free bonus reward.
Need the Exalted: Essence Core Rules as well? They form the system upon which the Exalted: Essence Player's Guide is built. We've set up three one-click pledge options to get you started! If you don't already have a copy of the Exalted: Essence Core Rulebook, you soon will by choosing any of these reward tiers.
- Liminal Exalted contains PDF versions of both the Exalted: Essenc Player's Guide sourcebook as well as the Exalted: Essence Core Rules.
- Getimian Exalted gets you both the PDF and standard hardcover books for both the Exalted: Essence Player's Guide sourcebook and the Exalted: Essence Core Rules.
- Solar Exalted will get you both the PDF and Deluxe Edition hardcover books for both the Exalted: Essence Player's Guide sourcebook and the Exalted: Essence Core Rules.
ADD ON selections will be available in the post-campaign Pledge Manager as well.
Also to note, only those who participate during the campaign are able to add Stretch Goal rewards to their rewards lists. If you're waiting to pre-order at a later time, it's better to pledge to the Dragon-Blooded Exalted tier now and then simply upgrade your pledge later to have the option to include these bonus rewards.
Additionally, this may go without saying, please review your personal budget and ensure you've selected the appropriate reward tier and add ons for your current financial situation. BackerKit will begin charging your payment method at midnight, so ensure you've budgeted correctly. Choose what works best for you now and is affordable at this time, knowing that you can upgrade your pledge level or choose Add Ons in the Pledge Manager at a late date.
- Choose a Reward Tier You Can Afford
- Read the Manuscripts and Make Sure You Know What You're Getting
- Be Aware of the Projected Delivery Date (Onyx Path will try to deliver earlier than this, but the book will take some time to get perfect, and we're dealing with an imperfect world. Schedules sometimes go awry)
3. PAYMENT AND CONTACT INFORMATION
4. OVERTIME MODE
You’ll know we’re in Overtime Mode when the campaign’s Backer Train counter displays a bright rainbow border and a new countdown that resets to 10 minutes after each new backer joins that final Backer Train ride.
Evidently we've scheduled the campaign to conclude on April 25th at 2:00 pm Eastern, but it'll be extended in 10 minute chunks as long as backers keep pledging. Will we add an extra 10 minutes? An extra 20? Or will it all finish up as we programmed? Who knows, but we'll find out together! The power of rolling dice!
WHAT COMES NEXT?
5. AFTER THE CAMPAIGN ENDS
In addition to providing the crowdfunding platform for this campaign, BackerKit is also Onyx Path's regular Pledge Manager partner.
BackerKit provides a robust fulfillment integration and pledge management program that will allow us to work with all of the data and distribute the rewards to you. It will take me about a month to set the project up. Once I've got it all entered and built, the team from BackerKit will review to ensure I didn't mess anything up too badly, and then I'll make any changes they've suggested and we can move on to the Survey stage.
6. BACKERKIT SURVEYS
7. REWARD DISTRIBUTION
This is a long process, but I will send out regular updates (usually at the end of the month) to keep you up to speed on Onyx Path's progress. There will be strings of updates that are just "still working on it," but I will share new artwork or information when I can.
So - one final time - please spread the word to any potential backers and fans, and thanks so much for a great campaign!
I'll see you on the other side!
