Project Update: May 2025 Monthly Update

Hello Scions,

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!

As noted, all panels will be streaming on Onyx Path's Twitch channel running Friday June 6 - Sunday June 8, and Actual Plays will be streaming at Plastic Age Plays channel. I'd suggest checking out

  • 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.
