Quick Summary for the month - no major changes or updates since last month.
Onyx Path has completed their first print job with their new print partner and started shipping that book out to backers. Now that they've gone from A to Z in the process, they're starting to sort out their manufacturing backlog and building a schedule to work through the projects that need to get printed and shipped out to backers. They're not rushing, trying to do it all right and not make hasty mistakes, so we'll probably have to continue to be patient for a while.
I'll continue to check their updates and info and share any new information in our regular monthly update. The Realms of Pugmire section of Onyx Path's Discord remains lively, with participation of writers and developers. Perhaps we'll get more info at this year's Onyx Path Con...

Quick Summary for the month - no major changes, work continues with schedule challenges.
Let's get to our regular review.
Pending Rewards
Our hardcover book rewards are still in Onyx Path's catch-up print queue. The first book with their new printing partner has gone fairly smoothly, so now the Onyx Path crew knows the ins-and-outs of that process. Of course, there seems to be a new layer of grumpy tariffs to navigate, so it remains to be seen when these will be added to the print schedule, but the team is working on sorting that all out.

Ready to start another year of monthly updates? I'm really hoping we can get some of these dots filled in over these next months!
The biggest hurdle has been print production. Onyx Path had some real challenges with previous print partners over the past 18-months and had to investigate new avenues for production. They've found a new partner and are currently in the process of printing their first book with them now. It seems to be going well, and the foundation is being built to get their print schedule slowly lined up beyond this first test.
So, it'll be a while before we know how the print schedule shakes out and when we can start planning for distribution of our physical rewaerds (book, screen, and the rest). I'll keep you updated as new info comes out.
Lots of rewards still to come. I hope we get lots of treats in 2026 and it's a great year for curious cats!

Onyx Path's social media has just let me know that today is Top Dog Eddy Webb's birthday, so shout out to him and a perfect day for our final Realms of Pugmire update for the year.
I'm taking a quick break in the middle of my holiday vacation to get out our last update of 2025. Onyx Path is in the process of printing their first book with a new printing partner, and hopefully it goes smoothly and they can spend 2026 catching up on some of the print production that has been so challenging over the past 16 months. I'll continue to track their progress and share new information in our monthly updates throughout 2026.
Lots of rewards still to come. I hope we get lots of treats in 2026 and it's a great year for dogs and cats!

Obviously, getting print production back on track and moving forward will be the big focus for Onyx Path and our reward updates in the new year. I'll continue to monitor Onyx Path's website and Discord and share any new details that emerge in our next update.

We're at the end of November and will race through the remaining days of December fairly quickly, I don't expect any new information to come out until 2026, but I'll continue to monitor Onyx Path's website and Discord and share any new details that emerge in our regular updates.

As you've read in the past several updates, and as has been detailed in Onyx Path's weekly Monday Meeting Notes blog, the issues with locking down a printer for these books has been the big challenge of the past year (and more). Turbulent times and shifting sands, and all that.
Hopefully that's all behind us now. Onyx Path has a new printing partner and they are currently in the middle of setting up the hardcover reward from another project for a press run soon. Right now, the Onyx Path team are setting up the digital files and specs so that the new printer can create a print proof. Once the Onyx Path team have reviewed the proof, corrected any issues, and approved the project it can move forward to printing. I don't know the timeline, but with where we are in the year, I expect those books won't exist until the new year.
Once Onyx Path has been through the entire process with the new printer and confirmed all is well, they should be able to start planning out their printing queue for the year. So, I don't know any timelines at this point, but I'm looking forward to some positive news and forward movement in 2026!
