It's time for our regular monthly check in. As a reminder, I'll be posting these updates once a month, just to check in on the various projects from the Crowdfunding campaign and make sure we're all in the loop and on the same page. For many months, they'll be pretty boring - just a note that the Onyx Path team are "still working on it" and we'll see only incremental progress. Still, I find it's better to touch base once a month even if we don't have any big news than to wait in silence while we all wonder what's going on.
So let's get to it!
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://monster-kingdoms.backerkit.com/
There's a lot of stuff on this list! Our main reward, the MONSTER KINGDOMS PDF, standard and deluxe hardcover, along with the Print-on-Demand option, is all part of that first line, and those various formats will be rewarded at different stages near the end of the production side. Right now, we can see that the manuscript is in the final development pass before it finishes that up and then it's on to Art Direction.
I'll post this chart in each monthly update, and fill in dots as projects move along.
REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS
The World Below Core Rulebook PDF (Nov 6 '25 Update)
At the Gates Draft Manuscript (Nov 6 '25 Update)
Once a project finishes up on the progress chart and is distributed to backers, I'll move it down to this list and note which update talks about reward distribution for that item in case you want to go back and get more information.

Infernals: Crowned by Hellfire
The Infernal Exalted arise, clad in brass and hellish wonders, to punish the world.
Chosen for their spite and grievance, the Infernal Exalted command the alien powers of Hell itself. In the Demon Realm, they are crowned as the Green Sun Princes, the heroes who will give the Yozis their much deserved vengeance. In Creation, they are the fulfillment of prophecy for cults the world over — the hellish heroes who will topple the temples of the gods. For all the expectations placed upon them, though, it is up to each Infernal to answer the ultimate question for themselves: What will you become, when anything is possible?
This Exalted Third Edition sourcebook provides everything players and Storytellers need to introduce the Infernals to their story. Inside you will find:
Rules for creating your own Infernal characters, including their strange, overwhelming Charms.
New character options, including artifacts, a new martial art, and lost arts of the highest circle of sorcery.
Setting information for the Demon Realm and its cults in Creation.
A roster of demons to serve as allies, adversaries, and bound servitors.
