Project Update: October 2025 Monthly Update

Hello Cool Cats,

Back again just before Hallowe'en with our status check in. Let's get to it!

Pending Rewards



Some notes - first, the biggie. We're all waiting to get the main Crowdfunding reward, the Curious Cats of Mau book, manufactured and fulfilled.  In terms of printing books, Rich's latest Monday Meeting Notes on the Onyx Path website says "We’ll also be reaching out to a couple of printers to see how things like pricing and availability have changed since last year in the hopes that we have a window of opportunity to get a few projects traditionally printed. It still isn’t pretty out there, but we’re seeing now some clear, uh, paths towards catching up on trad printing. Thanks for your patience during this unprecedented time, and more news when I have it."

An update on another Stretch Goal - Redbubble Pet Designs. Unfortunately, without any notice, Redbubble decided to remove their pet merchandise offering earlier this year. They only said,"By streamlining our product offerings, we can focus on enhancing the quality and success of popular items your customers love most. There will be more exciting new products later this year." We enquired if any of the pet merchandise might return as part of their "exciting new products" but it doesn't look like it. So I'm going to remove that from our pending list, but I'll keep an eye out in case they do return some of those pet merchandise options.

So, lots of moving parts behind the scenes. Lots of wait and see, which is frustrating, but we'll get there. I'll continue to monitor Onyx Path's info platforms and share any new information in our monthly update.

Final Days: Curseborne Player's Guide

  • Nine new families of Accursed!
  • New Role Paths, Lineage Torments, and spells
  • Fully playable Venators
  • Fully playable orphaned Accursed 
  • Quick-build and random character templates

The Curseborne Player’s Guide is primarily focused on the players at the table who take on the role of individual characters. If you’re a Storyguide, you can expect to find ideas that help you prompt the other players and frame their place in the world. Use these to create details that resonate with a player’s intentions and to direct the story to places where the main characters’ themes and concepts can flourish. Other players can expect to find tools to develop your character, both in your narration and on your character sheet.

In this book, we introduce grounding concepts for playing the Accursed, providing role-playing hooks and touchstones rooted in the world they find themselves. These are intended for both brand-new players looking for a place to start and for players in the middle of a story who are open to new angles and complications. We expand on all the types of Accursed introduced in the Curseborne corebook, including those who don’t have a family to call their own, but also provide even more ways to express and wield the power of curses through new spells. We even add a new angle to the world of Curseborne as we present playable rules for the monster-hunting Venators, who contend with the same supernatural forces as the Accursed without Damnations of their own.

On Kickstarter: Scarred Lands Player's Guide

A Land Where Legends Walk

Drawing enthusiastically on Greek mythology, Scarred Lands offers a world shaped by gods and monsters. Only the greatest of heroes can expect to be counted among them. The Divine War left the world of Scarn ravaged. From the battle-scarred continent of Ghelspad to the desert wastelands of Asherak, the wounds of war still fester. The jungles of Termana are corrupted by titanic influence. The Blood Sea is tinted red because the titan Kadum lies bleeding at the ocean floor. The Dragon Lands and the frozen north of Fenrilik were spared the worst of the Titanswar, yet these lands carry their own perils. 

Scarred Lands is a beloved setting introduced 25 years ago by White-Wolf Publishing and currently wholly owned by Onyx Path Publishing. In the years since its introduction, the setting has been published under three editions of d20 licensing and a Pathfinder compatible version. Aegis Studios has now licensed Scarred Lands from Onyx Path Publishing to convert the setting to Savage Worlds. With this Kickstarter, we aim to bring the Scarred Lands to the popular Savage Worlds Adventure Edition by Pinnacle Entertainment Group with a brand new Scarred Lands Player's Guide (SWADE)!
