Project Update: January 2026 Monthly Update

Hello Shard-striders,

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.
