Hello Forge Friends,

It's the Wednesday before the final Thursday of the month, and that's my cue to have an Exalted Updated Day. 

Our Alchemicals manuscript has moved to post-Editing development, with the team putting the final touches on the manuscript using the feedback you provided during the campaign as their guide posts.

As detailed in our January update, the existing Add On rewards have gone out to backers. If you added any of these on to your Rewards List and haven't yet claimed them, you can find redemption codes in your Digital Rewards page on your Pledge Manager

.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://alchemicals.backerkit.com/

You can read Onyx Path's most recent monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <March 2025 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.

If you've got questions about the rules or setting, or just want to discuss this game with other fans (as well as the Onyx Path writers and developers!), you can check out these Onyx Path discussion zones:

FINAL DAY

FINAL 24 HOURS TO JOIN IN

If you're interested in a streamlined version of the Exalted Third Edition ruleset, one that uses all of the Lore and setting you already know but a simpler (but not simple) system, now is a great time to check out the latest Exalted: Essence project. You can support the Player's Guide and grab the Exalted: Essence Core Rulebook while you're at it. With just over 24 hours to go, the finish line is in sight!

Exalted: Essence Player's Guide

Chosen by the gods, their power tempered only by human hearts, the Exalted are all that stand between Creation and the forces that would ruin the world. Set in a rich and intriguing setting that draws from real-world histories and fantasy archetypes, 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.

The Exalted: Essence Player’s Guide is a book chock full of player-facing content. Within, we’ll walk you through how to think about playing your character, what kind of person they might shape up to be, and how to consider their strengths and weaknesses as well as Intimacies and Virtues. Beyond advice for roleplaying, each chapter also contains dozens of new Charms for characters to take, shaping the outcome of your campaigns. 

Unlike other Exalted books, this does not contain any new setting material. It’s all about your character and your campaigns. Most books also speak directly to the Storyteller, assuming they’re the person who does most of the reading. Not so here! If you’re a player in a game of Exalted, this book is for you. You don’t have to read the whole thing cover to cover, but the section that applies to your character has so much there for you.
