Project Update: Quick Reward Distribution - Digital Wallpaper
I know I just posted our monthly update last week, and we've got a ton of reminders coming throughout July, but I've got one more thing to sneak in before the calendar flips over.
Remember this from our time during the campaign?
Well, it's time to send it out!
Scion: God Digital Wallpaper
I try and change my desktop wallpaper on my computer as often as I check my thermostat. This week has been pretty hot. Luckily, I've got a new desktop wallpaper just in time!
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24 hours if it is on your expected list of rewards.
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://scion-god.backerkit.com

Wilson discuss what's to come for Scion Second Edition!

ORDER LOCKDOWN SCHEDULE
JULY 15 - PAYMENT PROCESSING - Now that orders and shipping costs have been reviewed and confirmed, the BackerKit Pledge Manager will begin PROCESSING PAYMENTS for any ADD ON OPTIONS SELECTED IN THE PLEDGE MANAGER and all SHIPPING CHARGES for your order.
JULY 29 - ADDRESS CONFIRMATION - Two weeks after we process payments for shipping charges, the BackerKit Pledge Manager will send out a 48 HOUR NOTICE to CONFIRM YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS. You'll be able to review the information in the system and have a link to adjust the address if needed.
AUGUST 5 - FULFILLMENT INFO - A bit more than one week after address confirmations, I will pass all of this information over to Onyx Path's fulfillment partner, Studio 2, will -hopefully- be able to begin fulfillment prep for your orders to ship out in August/September.
COMMUNICATION + NEXT STEPS
- Review your order and shipping charges. You can request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" at https://scion-god.backerkit.com
- Look for the 48 hour Order Lockdown notice e-mailed from BackerKit on Jun 20.
- Look for the Pending Shipping Charges notice e-mailed from BackerKit on July 11.
- A campaign update will be posted reminding everyone about the Pending Shipping Charges.
- Prepare for Payment Processing on July 15.
- A campaign update will be posted reminding everyone of the Lockdown process and confirming which steps we've completed. A reminder for Address Confirmation will be included.
- Look for the 48 hour Address Confirmation notice e-mailed from BackerKit on July 29.
- A campaign update once orders are shipping, detailing how to retrieve the tracking number for your shipment.
Again, it may seem like a lot of work and a lot of time, but it's really just about reviewing information and making sure that everything's correct so we can get these orders out and delivered to you as smoothly as possible.
IF YOUR ADDRESS IS CHANGING IN August or September
The latest Monday Meeting Notes blog at Onyx Path as our Scion: God book listed as "Printing. Should be getting on a boat soon." so I'm hopeful things will proceed as planned. The MMN also have our Digital Wallpaper reward listed as completed, so we may get a fun reward in the middle of all of those reminder updates! The Storyguide Screen is also at the beginning of the printing process - it doesn't take as long to ship as the books, so hopefully everything will line up and arrive in the warehouse on schedule.

Project Update: May 2025 Monthly Update
As we get to the back half of May, it's time for our regular monthly update. And oddly, this month's update is all about stuff coming in June!
Order Lockdown begins in June
First up, I wanna note that we'll begin our Order Lockdown process next month! The Scion: God hardcovers are currently printing, and I expect (hope!) to ship those out to backers in August. That means I'll be giving backers an opportunity to review shipping costs and confirm (or adjust) your order selection starting in our next monthly update.
Basically, my plan (which may be adjusted as the situation evolves):
June 17 - Backers will receive a notice to review their orders and shipping charges
July 15 - Backerkit will begin processing payments for shipping charges and Pledge Manager Add Ons
July 29 - Backers will confirm shipping information that I'll pass along to Onyx Path's fulfillment parter in August
So, we're not quite there yet, but next month's update will begin the process of locking down our rewards and preparing the path for hardcover shipping in the summer. Good stuff ahead!
Onyx Path Virtual Convention 2025
Probably the best place to get some Scion updates will be the Scion panel during Onyx Path's 2025 Virtual Convention on the very first night!
Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention 2025 is just around the corner! As they enter the final weeks of preparation, the schedule is settling in. Some panels and actual plays needed minor tweaks, which is normal for this stage of the game. People’s availability shifts and schedule issues bubble up, but so far they’ve been able to roll with the punches pretty easily and are on track for a smooth, fun, and informative show!
They’re also getting games for attendees to play ramped up via Startplaying.games. There are already a few games set up, and your encouraged to consider setting one up yourself, if you like running games! It’s a great opportunity to try out games you might not otherwise get the chance to, meet new players, and make a few bucks. Onyx Path's partners at Envoy who run convention games for them will also be running games via Startplaying.games and those entries will be showing up very soon at https://startplaying.games/event/onyx-path-2025!
- The Scion Panel on Friday June 6 at 8:00 PM EDT
- What's Up with Onyx Path on Sunday June 8 at 12:30 PM EDT
- Scion: Origin Actual Play on Saturday June 7 at 5:30 PM
- Scion: Hero Actual Play on Sunday June 8 at 2:00 PM
Rewards Still Pending
Again, printing is underway for our hardcover rewards and I'll have a clearer idea of the schedule next month, when we begin the order lockdown process.

Project Update: April 2025 Monthly Update
It's time for our regular monthly check in. No big announcements yet, but I can at least give you an expected timeline for some announcements. We'll call it a "foretelling" and hope that our visions come to pass as predicted.
Rewards Still Pending
Our hardcover books are currently in the Proofing phase. Onyx Path's print partner is printing test versions for the team to review and approve (unless any minor tweaks are needed), and then the actual print run can begin. Once the books are printed, the long shipping wait begins.
