Matt Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Double-Feature-Splash.png Standing on the edge of February, with it being the 28th since we’re not a leap year this year. So, a short month but a merry one! Especially merry since February is the month we celebrate the World of Darkness in our year-long 10th Anniversary celebration of all of the game worlds we have created games/books for! Let me repeat that for those of you in the back: we will be dedicating a month per game line! We’re counting all the WoD 20th Anniversary game lines together in a single month, and will do the same for CofD, and the They Came From! games, etc. So if we publish the game line, there will be a month where we celebrate it (and give you a chance to buy the PDFs for 10% of the normal price!) February has been a blast, with 90% off sales of WoD20 PDFs each week and WoD focused Pathcasts and Twitch shows all month! We wrapped up the very successful M20 Lore of the Traditions KS during the month, too! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/KMJ_HtV2.jpgHtV 2e art by Ken Meyer, Jr Plus, non-themed, we’ve had a lot of things happen since last week, and a lot of things happening this coming week, so rather than a focus project (or a sermon like last week!) and then notes from our Monday Meeting, I’m just going to jump from topic to topic right down the line! First, the IPR Deluxe WoD20 sale ends at 11pm tonight! Then, here’s a heads-up that March is going to be Cavaliers of Mars month, with sales starting in a couple of weeks after DTRPG finishes their GMs Day Sale – starting March 1st. This week, Cavs creator Rose Bailey will be talking on the Onyx Pathcast this Friday in a deep dive about the game with our Terrific Trio. As I mentioned in the beginning of this celebratory year, we’ve tried to arrange our massive discount PDF sales to avoid coinciding with DTRPG‘s big general sales, so that’s why we’re holding the sales later in the month. Interestingly, March 19th marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the very first Cavaliers of Mars project – its Quickstart! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Gaydos_Paranormal-Investigators-Handbook.jpgParanormal Investigators Handbook art by Michael Gaydos We’ve got even more really fun excitement at the end of the week, as Mystery Science Theater 3000 starts its newest season on Friday, March 5th via its new Gizmoplex streaming technology! Why are we more than normally hyped for this? Well, this season Onyx Path Publishing is a sponsor of MST3K, with special emphasis on They Came From Beneath the Sea!. Make sure you watch in order to see what I mean, because it will blow your mind! Our tentacles are reaching out in all sorts of fun ways! For example, last week we announced that a VTT character sheet for Scion Origin and Hero is now available on Roll20, the world’s largest VTT platform! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/image4-1-587x1024.png http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/storypath_preview_origin-1-481x1024.png There’s more VTT material coming for both Roll20 and the Foundry, and we’ll be letting you all know about it as they go live! There should be a way on Roll20 to let the devs know what you discover about the sheets, so please do reach out to them! Our friends at High Level Games made a teaser announcement for a new board game based on Realms of Pugmire‘s Monarchy of Mau setting. Over the last couple of years Adam Ziegler and Josh have been diligently working on a board game set in the Monarchies of Mau, set in the Realms of Pugmire, which is owned by @pugsteady. The game, featuring art created by @TheOnyxPath, is moving fully into the playtest portion of development and we’ll be reaching out to folks to gauge your interest in playtesting this exciting new game. We wanted to share our excitement and success with everyone. Stay on the lookout for Monarchies of Mau: The Board Game, coming soon. Speaking of Eddy Webb, the creator of Pugmire y’know, he and “The Crunch Doctor”, Danielle Lauzon, are continuing their lunchtime chats, this time about explicit vs implicit rules and how that relates to Storypath games: http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Lunch-crunch-1024x576.jpg We have finalized a lot of the content for our 3rd Annual Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention, and I can now announce that it will be in June – so keep your eyes peeled for more info! I’m incredibly relieved to see that KS backers are receiving their Legendlore and They Came From Beyond the Grave! books and rewards! They are the first two of six KSs we had printed all in a bunch, after quite a delay due to repercussions from Covid, and that are now getting processed to be shipped to our backers! We have another big batch of books headed to press in a few months, so in big jumps we’re trying to get caught up! Hopefully our printers can get things stabilized, and these big batches of multiple projects can get evened out again! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FarriLensen_Demigodcensored-1024x293.pngScion: Demigod art by Farri Lensen Finally, as we speak of Kickstarter projects, I have to let you know that James, our always-helpful KS Concierge, and I submitted the amazing and astounding They Came From [CLASSIFIED]! and They Came From the Cyclops’s Cave! Double Feature KS to Kickstarter for approval earlier today! We will let you know when/if that gets approved and, of course, when it will run in March! Wow, already so much going on in this first year since we accomplished: Ten Years, Many Worlds, One Path! BLURBS! Kickstarter! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Double-Feature-Splash.png Our next crowdfunding campaign will be a very different and very daring Double Feature Event! Come see They Came from the Cyclops’s Cave! and They Came From [CLASSIFIED]! for the first time, together on the big screen! More news when we have it!
