Onyx Path Discussion Channels
If you've got questions about the rules or setting, or just want to discuss this game with other fans (as well as the Onyx Path writers and developers!), you can check out these Onyx Path discussion zones:
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.
The new shards are now in the Manuscript Approval phase before entering the development-editing-development cycle, so moving right along. One of our Stretch Goals - the Storyguide Reference PDFs - are also moving along, entering post-approval development. So incremental progress all around.

In Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, your player characters are the crewmembers of a war rig, venturing into battles against people from far off countries, aligned to ideals different than their own, and trying to preserve their peace, their way of life, or their rich deposits of a new, bizarre energy source: condensed coal. Your characters — the crewmembers of these war rigs — are as likely to be enlisted crooks as they are commissioned officers; gung-ho patriots as common as conscripted people from the imperial powers’ colonies. They fight because they have to. But in the fear and fog of battle, bonds form, friendships and rivalries grow, and legends are made.
Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars takes place outside the Trinity Continuum's "Alpha" timeline -- the worlds explored from Aegis to Æon -- taking place in a parallel reality, setting the stage for new adventures and discoveries.
Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars contains:
A complete setting based on the acclaimed graphic novel Steam Wars® with writing by Larry Blamire.
Detailed rules on piloting, managing, and fighting massive coal-powered giant war rigs in a parallel 19th century.
Six different roles you can perform on a steam rig, along with more than half a dozen Alliances involving in the Second Steam War that you can fight, ally with, or sabotage.
Storyguide advice, secrets, hooks, and plots, to enable you to start your game of Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars
Let's start off our monthly updates for 2025 by making sure I've spelled that correctly! As a reminder, I'll be posting these updates at the end of every month as we track the progress of our Crowdfunding campaign rewards.

We've come to the end of another month, so it's time for our regular monthly check in. It's also the end of the year, so let's see what 2024 delivered in terms of Scion Second Edition and then we'll get to our normal lists!
Sure, there are some smaller releases in there like the Scion merch options and all of the fun Tasty Bit releases, but there are also some big books that came out for Scion Second Edition this year, including Once and Future, No Gods No Masters, Path to Apotheosis, and Scion Book 4: God!
Many of those rewards exist thanks to ongoing fan support during Onyx Path's crowdfunding campaigns, and we had another successful Scion campaign this summer with all of your enthusiasm and effort put into Mythic Shards! Hopefully we'll see another exciting list of releases in 2025, and maybe even our book in PDF form before the end of next year!
