Hello Scions,

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.

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.

So, right now, my estimate based on all known variables is that we'll see our hardcover books fulfilled in August. That means I'll be confirming orders and shipping costs as part of our June update, and then processing payments for any Pledge Manager Add On selections and shipping charges in early July and finally confirming shipping information by the end of July.

Again, that's based on all of the info I have right now and our usual timelines once proofing has begun. Nothing major to do yet, but next month I'll start putting out the word to double-check your BackerKit Pledge Manager page to make sure it's all correct before we begin the order lock down process in June.

Chosen by the gods, their power tempered only by human hearts, the Exalted are all that stand between Creation and the forces that would ruin the world. Set in a rich and intriguing setting that draws from real-world histories and fantasy archetypes, Exalted: Essence features streamlined rules for a new way of playing a classic game, incorporating story-focused action and a presentation designed to appeal to new players and longtime fans alike.

The Exalted: Essence Player’s Guide is a book chock full of player-facing content. Within, we’ll walk you through how to think about playing your character, what kind of person they might shape up to be, and how to consider their strengths and weaknesses as well as Intimacies and Virtues. Beyond advice for roleplaying, each chapter also contains dozens of new Charms for characters to take, shaping the outcome of your campaigns. 

Unlike other Exalted books, this does not contain any new setting material. It’s all about your character and your campaigns. Most books also speak directly to the Storyteller, assuming they’re the person who does most of the reading. Not so here! If you’re a player in a game of Exalted, this book is for you. You don’t have to read the whole thing cover to cover, but the section that applies to your character has so much there for you.

Learn what it means to be Exalted.
