Project Update: March 2025 - Stretch Goal Reward Distribution
As we slide into the final weeks of March, it's time for our regular monthly update. And, as a bonus, I've got a couple of Stretch Goal rewards ready to go out to backers!
Remember these from the campaign?
Well, we smashed both of those milestone markers, and I've got some redemption links going to to backers who have those in their list of rewards later today...
Reward: WORLD BELOW VTT ASSETS
These tokens are designed to allow you to bring The World Below to the virtual tabletop platform of your choice. These tokens include a variety of playable characters and monsters from The World Below.
- Player character tokens drawn from the art of The World Below
- Character tokens to represent both Storyguide Characters and Antagonists
- A quick reference pdf containing all the token art for ease of view
Reward: WORLD BELOW STREAMING OVERLAYS
This collection of png files with transparencies is drawn from the art of The World Below.
- 10 png files with preserved transparency at 1920 x 1080
- Variants for performers only or performers with a window for VTT, map, or document input
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for these rewards over the next 24 hours if they are on your expected list of rewards.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://the-world-below.backerkit.com/ and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
Rewards Still Pending
With those two Stretch Goals out to backers, our reward list is a bit shorter, but still ready to have lots of dots filled in. There have been challenges locking down print partners and pricing with shifting global economies, but Onyx Path recently noted that some new partnerships are being tested and hopefully that'll make things smoother going forward. Once The World Below is actually scheduled for print, I'll let you know and outline next steps.

I finally had the time (and mental rememberance) with getting the book on demand. When I went online to purchase (I had gotten the 100$ level) I discovered the book itself was 70$. This was the discount on the deluxe book? So for 100$ pledge level i get 20$ off??

Project Update: Finalized PDF now available! Discounted PoD option for backers!
Thanks to your feedback and support, Onyx Path has now fine-tuned The World Below PDF, implemented your feedback where appropriate, fixed all of the page numbers, and the finalized PDF is now available in your DriveThruRPG digital library.
You can access your DTRPG Digital Library at any time and download the latest version of the book at your convenience.
Standard Color uses a thick 70# white paper which has better page opacity. (that's "70 pound" for reference, but does not mean each page weighs 70 lbs!). Standard Heavyweight Color uses inkjet technology. (These are not the same inkjet printers you have at home - these are often as big or bigger than a car!) This option offers lower cost but the colors won't be as sharp or bright as a Premium Color book.

FINAL HOURS!
Check it out and join in on the fun!
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.
- A complete setting based on the acclaimed graphic novel Steam Wars with writing by Larry Blamire and art by David Miller, Steve LeBlanc, and Christoper Ehnot.
- Detailed rules on piloting, managing, and fighting massive coal-powered giant robots 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

Project Update: January 2025 Monthly Update
We start off regular monthly updates for 2025 in pretty standard form. We'll review our rewards still pending, we'll confirm which rewards have been distribued, and we'll have links to find more information, to discuss this project and the Earthbane Cycle, notes on how to contact me, and a look ahead at our next project.
Rewards Still Pending
No big changes over the year end. The Onyx Path team is currently "wrapping up" the final version of our book, so hopefully we'll see a finalized PDF available on DriveThruRPG.com soon incorporating your feedback from the Backer PDF. AFter that, the Onyx Path crew can begin locking in the print specs and timing - which will likely be a challenge with all that's going on in the world, but hopefully they'll figure out their path forward quickly. I'll continue to report on the project status in each monthly udpate so we're all on the same page.
