December 2024 Update
Hello Argonauts,
As we slide into the final days of December, it's time for our final monthly update of the year!
A Look Back at Trinity Continuum Releases for 2024
• Feb...
I've got one cool bit to go over today before our regular monthly update. Remember this Stretch Goal during the campaign?
Most of our focus was on expanding the Aegis Atlast supplement, but we did unlock a few fun milestone markers along the way, and this was one of them! It's finally time to cross that off our Pending List.
If you want to let the world know you're an Official Heroic Backer and proud to be part of the crew that brought Trinity Continuum: Aegis to life, check out the design and various shirt options here: Trinity Continuum: Aegis Shirt <link>
AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW - FOR A LIMITED TIME
So, this Stretch Goal during the kickstarter campaign was for a special available-for-a-limited-time Crowdfunding Backer TC: Aegis T-shirt, but really there are more than just T-shirt options there (and more colors as well!)
If you click over to Onyx Path's REDBUBBLE T-shirt Shop using this link <Aegis Shirt> you will see the backer shirts, which will be available for a LIMITED TIME ONLY! You have ONE WEEK to order a shirt with this design if you'd like to announce you're a heroic member of the crew!
If you scroll down a bit, you'll see other options - including hoodies and other styles - you can change the style, color, and size to make sure it works for you! Changing the style and size may change the cost, so be aware. Make sure you review your selection before you process payment to ensure you've got the correct images, style, color, and size.
One last time: This shirt will be available for a LIMITED TIME ONLY - please act quickly if you're interested!
Rewards Still Pending
Nice to move the Backer Shirt to the delivered list. Now that the TC: Aegis file is finalized, the team is 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.
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

You can find the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>, which note any projects with status changes since the previous Month End summary. The project statuses listed are current as of last Monday, so do check it out each Monday night to see if anything may have progressed!
I will continue to post regular updates every month until the final reward has gone 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
Nothing as exciting as last month's update for February. If you missed out, January's update had news about our Trinity Continuum: Aegis backer PDF going out. Now that the Onyx Path team has collected your feedback, they'll begin the process of finalizing the PDF for release and start setting up the hardcover print run.
Let's dive in to this month's update!
Rewards Still Pending
Thanks for submitting your feedback. This will help guide the Onyx Path team through the last bits needed to finalize the book. Once it's all set, you'll receive a notice from DriveThruRPG and you'll be able to download the latest version from your digital library at any time.

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
