Project Update: January 2026 Monthly Update

Hello Outlanders,

This is one of the books I'm looking forward to the most; it just has such a strong identity and scratches an itch and I can't wait until it's on our screens and in our hands. Onyx Path is still sorting some of the artwork before this moves to the layout phase, so hopefully that happens soon and maybe we can get some artwork sneak peeks.

I know many groups have been playing with the draft version of the manuscript while we wait. If that's the case - or you want to prep for the future - I have new rules that you can incorporate into your game right now!

Now available from DriveThruRPG in PDF: Storypath Ultra Tasty-Bit 01: Massive Monsters!

This Storypath Ultra Tasty Bit introduces two new kinds of antagonists for use with the Storypath Ultra Core Manual or any game using the Storypath Ultra system.

Giants are characters, creatures, or artificial constructs operating on a scale where meaningful, direct interaction with human-sized creatures is possible, while titanic-scale creatures are beings so immense that human-sized creatures are unable to interact directly with them in any meaningful way.

Massive Monsters includes:

Four new antagonists ready to drop directly into your Storypath Ultra game
Two new antagonist types: Giants and Titanic-Scale Creatures
New Antagonist qualities
New Area Effects

Onyx Path will be releasing Storypath Ultra Tasty Bits all year - bite-sized rules & tools that you can drop into your Storypath Ultra system games with ease. I can think of a few instances where a massive antagonist would work in At the Gates!

Now let's get to our regular check in...

While our main book finishes up in the art direction stage, manuscripts for two of our stretch goal supplements are in the final stages of development. The companion we unlocked via Stretch Goal achievement, named Encore, is joined by the At the Gates jumpstart, which is called A Daemon's Bargain. Can't wait to see all of that cool stuff!
