Hello SHARDstriders,
We're in the back half of September and it's time for our regular update. First up, the latest Scion release from Onyx Path!

TLDR: hardcover books are still in the print queue to be scheduled.
Pending Rewards
Our hardcover book rewards are still in Onyx Path's catch-up print queue. Their first book with their new printing partner has gone well, so now the Onyx Path crew knows the ins and outs of that process. Of course, there seems to be a new layer of grumpy tariffs to navigate, so it remains to be seen when these will be added to the print schedule, but the team is working on sorting that all out.

JUST LAUNCHED!
The World Below: Buried Treasures
The World Below is a game of adversity, heroism, terror, and awe. Your characters will overcome or be defeated by terrible beasts, environmental calamities, and Kaos storms ravaging their surroundings and the souls they encounter. They will chart their journeys, chronicle their tales, and pass their stories down to their descendants, who will, in turn, become your characters when your old ones perish or retire.
Now, two new books will let you delve deeper into The World Below and illuminate some of the darkness!
The Delver’s Guide is a Player's Manual for The World Below.
Delvers may be brave, but that doesn’t mean they don’t require help once in a while. That’s what this guide is: help for all delvers, explorers, and survivors in the World Below. New Callings and weapons, new Dialectics and powers, a new scenario and fresh rules for crafting and harvesting, and much, much more await within, so every delver can feel properly equipped for the adventures ahead.
Secrets of Kalm and Kaos is a Storyguide’s Handbook for The World Below.
There are hundreds of tales to tell of the World Below. From stories of adventurers braving Kaos storms to intrepid explorers who throw themselves into the dreamlike Obscura or harrowing Abyss. From chronicles of settlements rising and falling to those of bold delvers who go so far as to tame the beasts of their realm and call them pets. New playable options, new powers, new rules for Kalm, machinery, monstrous mounts, and more besides await within.
Looking at December's monthly update, 2025 was a pretty good year for Scion releases. This year looks to be all right as well! Onyx Path just released Scion: War Games on DTRPG, an adventure for Titanic Scions. There are still a handful of supplements to come from a couple of crowdfunding projects, and a new project is currently in final draft status - Pandora's Box of Knacks, Birthrights, and Boons. Looking forward to all of that!
But let's get back to our rewards. The biggest hurdle has been print production. Onyx Path had some real challenges with previous print partners over the past 18-months and had to investigate new avenues for production. They've found a new partner and are currently in the process of printing their first book with them now. It seems to be going well, and the foundation is being built to get their print schedule slowly lined up beyond this first test.
So, it'll be a while before we know how the print schedule shakes out and when we can start planning for distribution of our physical rewards. I'll keep you updated as new info comes out.
In the meantime, I'll poke the Onyx Path team everyone once in a while to see about getting some of those remaining Stretch Goals sorted and see if we can get some dots filled in.
Let's review:
Pending Rewards
So, physical rewards are waiting for the production schedule to get hammered out; we'll know several months before anything's done, and I'll set up our lockdown and confirmation schedule when things are in motion. For the rest - the shirt link, wallpaper, and VTT Tokens, it's just a matter of the team finding the right moment in their schedule. I'll notify you as soon as any become available.

The POD code that is provided through backerkit doesn't work for me, DriveThru tells me through popup that the code has expired. Since the code for an older project seems to still be valid, I think that's pretty odd.
Is anyone else having problems with their POD? I saw a comment 4mo ago but don't know if that was resolved or not.
Taking a quick break in the middle of my holiday vacation to get out our last update of 2025. Onyx Path is in the process of printing their first book with a new printing partner, and hopefully it goes smoothly and they can spend 2026 catching up on some of the print production that has been so challenging over the past 16 months. I'll continue to track their progress and share new information in our monthly updates throughout 2026.
It's been a pretty good year for Scion releases! Add in some stuff that's in the process of finalizing, like the Scion: God Player's Guide and the War Games adventures from the Titans Rising campaign, and we've had lots of Scion material this year. Looking forward to more great releases in 2026!
Rewards Still Pending
Hopefully the first job with the new printer runs smoothly and we can get these rewards out to you in 2026! I'll update as I have new information. I may flip to a bi-monthly update schedule in the new year, depending on what the pace looks to be, just to keep updates coming but reduce the amount of status quo updates. We'll figure that out in the new year.

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.
