I have no big updates to announce on our project. We've got a trio of stretch goals to get thrown together at some point, and our hardcover rewards need to have Onyx Path's print queue all ironed out. I can tell you that Onyx Path switched to a new printer at the end of last year and so far they've tested out the process with one deluxe hardcover book and one standard hardcover book, and they're lining up a multi-format project next. When that's all locked and loaded, they should have a pretty good understanding of the process for each kind of project and will hopefully be able to get more detailed with their print plans. But that's all for discussion at much higher levels than me. I'll pass along any info I find out.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the current and future plans for Scion from Onyx Path's recent Online Gaming Convention!
There's some pretty big news in there for the future of Scion, but let's get back to the right here, right now:
The SCION NEXUS on DEMIPLANE
The Scion Nexus is now live from Onyx Path's partners at Demiplane! The official digital companion for Scion 2nd Edition, the Scion Nexus brings digital books, searchable rules, guided character tools, and story guide-ready references together for campaigns in the world of modern myth.
The Scion Nexus integrates with Roll20, so a character created within the Nexus can be imported to use in Roll20.
The Scion 2e Jumpstart, A Light Extinguished, is free for all Nexus users!
If you have Scion: Origin and Scion: Hero purchased on Roll20, you automatically get them in Scion Nexus. If you have Origin and Hero purchased on DriveThruRPG, you can get them in Nexus at a discount.
You can also purchase Nexus content from within DriveThruRPG:
While we're waiting for Onyx Path to build their printing production runway, I'll keep you updated on our remaining stretch goals. None of these will take them long to hammer together, but it's just a matter of finding time in the schedule.

We're still in a print/production holding pattern, circling overhead as the Onyx Path team figures out how to fill in their print schedule slots. They've successfully completed production and fulfillment with their new printing and distribution partners, so there's a template to apply as they go forward, and a few projects have already joined the queue, but not this one just yet.
So, I'll continue to monitor and ask about our pending Stretch Goal milestone markers and share info with you once a month. It's not very exciting, but I want you to know that I'm at least paying attention and checking in with the Onyx Path crew and reading Rich's Monday Meeting Notes so nothing will be forgotten or sneak by.
So let's get to it! Pretty much same as last month:

Our hardcover is waiting for a slot on the schedule. Once that happens, I'll let you know.

Right off the top, I'll say that there's no big news this month.
Onyx Path has completed their first print job with their new print partner and started shipping that book out to backers. Now that they've gone from A to Z in the process, they're starting to sort out their manufacturing backlog and building a schedule to work through the projects that need to get printed and shipped out to backers. They're not rushing, trying to do it all right and not make hasty mistakes, so we'll probably have to continue to be patient for a while.
I'll continue to check their updates and info and share any new information in our regular monthly update.

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.

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.
