Today is Getimian day. I had a whole bit about how - in another world - this might be a chapter that was edited out, but has since become real in our reality. But it got too weird and I lost the thread. So let's just check out the awesomeness that comes from these most unusual Exalted.
Just before we get there, though... let's check in on our Stretch Goals, because we've unlocked one more since our last update!
ACHIEVED At $80,000 in Funding - ESSENCE EXTENDED (Universal Charms Expansion)

Draft Manuscript Previews
Over the course of these 4 weeks, backers will receive the entire current draft manuscript for Exalted: Essence Player's Guide, but it's not going to come to you all in one go. The previews will come out in Exalt-based sections throughout the campaign. This helps me seem interesting over the the 28 day campaign, but it's more about guiding the conversation and helping steer feedback for the developers.
Because they want your feedback! These manuscript previews are of the current draft manuscript – the document in its latest, approved form. This may not be the final form after editing and any additional development, but you can consider it about 95% finished, so keep that in mind.
In fact, you can help guide the team through the next stages of development by providing feedback on these manuscript previews! The Onyx Path team has set up a special Feedback Form just for campaign backers for this very purpose: https://forms.gle/sqmxdW6u87pT3Mhg8
You can use this Feedback Form to share your thoughts directly with the Exalted: Essence creative team to help guide them through the next rounds of development and editing.
