Let's get to our regular monthly update...
Rewards Still Pending
Now that the file is finalized, the team can begin prepping for the eventual print run. Onyx Path is buildng a relationsihp with a few new printer partners, so it may take a little extra time, but I'll keep you updated as information comes out.

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.
Thanks to your feedback and support, Onyx Path has now fine-tuned the Trinity Continuum: Aegis 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.
Later today, Onyx Path will release the PDF for purchase on DriveThruRPG. When that happens, they'll also make a print-on-demand version of that PDF availble for purchase. As one of your rewards, you may have access to a discount link that will allow you to add the PoD version to your cart at a slightly reduced price, should you wish to buy a hardcopy of the PDF.
DISCOUNTED PRINT-ON-DEMAND ORDER LINKS FOR BACKERS
If you pledged to either The Nautikoi or The Fellowship of Āšipu digital reward tiers or have a hardcover version as one of the items in your pledge reward list, one of your rewards is a discounted option to order a print-on-demand version of the Trinity Continuum: Aegis PDF. Now that the print files have been finalized, Onyx Path can finalize the PDF at DriveThruRPG and make a PoD version of the PDF available for purchase.
Again, just to ensure it's understood -
THIS IS NOT YOUR KICKSTARTER HARDCOVER REWARD!
This is a discount link for a one-off printed version of the PDF that will soon be released for purchase on DriveThruRPG.com (but YOU can order it at a discounted cost if you wish!) With this step completed and the files finalized, Onyx Path can now begin setting up the hardcover editions at the printer and will ship to you later this year.
DIFFERENCES IN PoD FORMATS
So, for those backers who pledged at the PDF reward tier, or those backers who will later be receiving the hardcover book but might be looking for a second copy for the table, there are two different versions of Print-On-Demand options available.
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.
Premium Color uses the same 70# paper, but uses "Digital Color Print Engine Technology," which sounds super fancy and certainly costs a lot more, but I'll admit to not knowing the exact difference. This option offers superior color quality but is more expensive to produce, and has gotten even more expensive over the past year.
(Remember to login to DriveThruRPG prior to clicking or pasting the discount link in your BackerKit digital rewards locker, if you that was part of your rewards list! That link is your coupon and must be usedfor your PoD order.)
Please note: Due to a fluctuating global market, I'd suggest ordering any Print-on-Demand version you're interested in before the end of the month. You'll be able to use this discount link for some time still, but DriveThruRPG has indicated that prices will rise on April 1st, so better to use your discount on the currently lower price!
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this reward is on your rewards list, your link to claim it will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24hours if it is 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://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.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.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com

FINAL 48 HOURS
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
If you're like me, you're just about ready to spend a bunch of time with friends in a world of your own imagination. And guess what - I've got an awesome PDF coming our way just in time!
It's time for some BACKER PDFs!
Reward Distribution: TRINITY CONTINUUM: AEGIS Backer PDF
A beacon of hope in a Dark Age
Trinity Continuum: Aegis is a game of adventure and exploration set in Greece’s Iron Age. Ten years ago, streaks of fire lit up the skies, setting alight the night. The largest of these crashed into Mount Olympus, and pools of glowing golden liquid appeared in their path. Those who came into contact with the substance were forever changed, and now they use their incredible powers to fight monsters, protect their communities, and explore the world.
The Trinity Continuum Corebook is required to play this game. This book includes:
Rules for creating Champions, Oracles, and Olympians — Aegis’ superpowered heroes — and an overview of the Colleges they form.
New Gifts tailored to the new character types.
New rules for Dramatic Editing and Super Science, and new antagonists for your characters to face.
Storyguiding advice for running a game in the world of Aegis.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Trinity Continuum: Aegis Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php

BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of Trinity Continuum: Aegis to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the AegisFeedback Form!
Onyx Path will be launching a special Trinity Continuum: AegisFeedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/m74yuHge8pnz7JYo7
They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.
Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
Rewards Still Pending
All backers will be doing the final proofing run on this book over the next week. Please remember to submit your feedback using the form so it goes directly to the developers! Then the book will move on to the Finalizing stage and prepping for eventual PoD and hardcover print runs. That'll be a while still, but I'll keep you updated as Onyx Path advances.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aegis-tabletop-roleplaying-game.backerkit.com
