Matt Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6-Paradise-in-Vegas-Text-Layer.jpg 241…are these the winning numbers on the wheel of chance, or a secret code that unlocks the sinister scheme of Splurch (Secret Plotters Lurking Under Regular Covert Headquarters)? Or both? Or is it really: Two for One! As in our They Came From Double Feature Kickstarter that is coming to its big, movie/series finale, on Thursday! We’re now in the countdown by hours section of the KS, and we’re really excited at how many folks have already pledged for They Came From [CLASSIFIED]! in order to play in the 60s-70s spy genre, and for They Came From the Cyclops’s Cave! which gives folks the full range of fantasy films and TV shows to adventure through! If you haven’t yet jumped in – please consider doing so now! And remember, even though it’s a Double Feature, you can still back for only one of the books if that’s your interest! But! Most important to mention is the third book coming together as we achieve Stretch Goals: 80s Action films typified by the Ahnuld! He’ll be back, so just stick around! Right now, the Kickstarter is racing towards achieving the Cinematics and Quips of the 80s Action films, which will join the new Archetypes already unlocked! But we have to achieve that Stretch Goal, so please do help out – pledge, or drag your friends in to pledge! Thanks! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Laura-King-M20-Victorian.jpgM20 Victorian art by Laura King Also related to They Came From!: Our friends at MST3K ran their 2nd new show of this season on the Gizmoplex and so they also ran our second ad – and this time it’s gameplay time as the bots’ characters face a giant, gilled, Dolemite from THE SEA! Don’t worry if you missed it, once the Gizmoplex opens for non-backers in May, everyone and anyone will be able to access the new season in a variety of subscription and individual episodes options. Joel and the gang are trying something really new and innovative with the individual streaming possibilities of the Gizmoplex and we’re thrilled to be a part of it! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Ivan-Vegar_Scion-Dragon.jpgScion: Dragon art by Ivan Vegar Met N 8 Well, some of use ate – it is the Monday Lunch Meeting after all. Between bites, we talked about a few things, like: Between last week’s MMN and today, we somehow finished March and fell into April. Which is Exalted Month in our year-long Onyx Path 10th Anniversary Celebration! We’ve divided up the celebration sale into a couple of weeks where all Solar-oriented Exalted 3rd PDFs will be 90% off – ie: on sale at 10% their regular price in honor of our 10th Anniversary! On DTRPG, of course. The second half of April will feature a similar sale, but this time for those PDFs that are more Dragon-Blooded or Lunars (and others) -focused! Check out the links below in the Sales Partners section of this blog to see what’s on sale right now! And while you are down in the Sales Partners part, you can also find the link to the month-long 50% off sale on all EX3 Deluxes and Screens over at IPR! Which is another way we’re sayin’ thanks for your support throughout these ten years! The Advance PDF of TC: Assassins goes live on DTRPG this Wednesday, and that bears a couple of notes to make the process clear to folks. If you pre-ordered, first of all: thanks!, you should already have access to your PDF and the chance to submit errata before we go live on Weds. Folks who buy the Advance PDF on Weds or later will also get the chance to send us any errata they note, and then the usual process for errata input and tweaks that lead to the creation of the PoD version will happen. Basically, the Pre-Order process is set up to be the earliest stage that the public obtain access to the book PDF, and then it dovetails into our regular Advance or Backer PDF errata steps and from there to PoD. Hope that helps make the whole thing clearer! We may be making another project available on Wednesday, but I’m not going to start a case of premature announcing, so keep an eye out on our weekly Wednesday Release page to see if a Very Terrific Type of release gets announced! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/RomaneFaure_M20-Victorian.jpgM20 Victorian art by Romane Faure I mentioned last week that I’d be sitting down for a Werewolf: The Podcast interview all about the Werewolf: The Apocalypse symbols (glyphs) that I created way back in the day at White Wolf. Well, those folks are FAST and the interview just went live today! https://keepontheheathlands.podbean.com/e/glyphs-with-rich-thomas/ As always, Josh Heath keeps the conversation flowing back and forth, and we covered a ton of topics – from the origin of the glyphs and how they actually work (hint: they are not an alphabet), to the gigantic project that was The Silver Record, to the origin of the Get of Fenris tribe glyph, to whether new glyphs will be made for W20: The Apocalyptic Record. The answer to that is basically “maybe”, but please take a listen to the details as I explain during the interview. And if you didn’t even know there’s a new W20 book coming, here’s the link to its BackerKit page with more info: https://apocalyptic-record.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders Yet another follow-up is the return of the topic of returning to physical conventions. I’ve touched on this a bunch of times in the past couple of years, and while Onyx Path as a company is still being extremely cautious about attending as a company, one step towards getting back to physical conventions is that of individual members starting to “scout” how in-person cons are working out. Tabletop Scotland is one example and is due to take place on the 27th and 28th of August this year and at least four Onyx Path-ers will be running our games and sitting on panels! If you’re UK or Europe based, it’s an excellent con to visit and within traveling distance from Edinburgh, which takes flights from a lot of places! Consider paying Tabletop Scotland a visit. https://tabletopscotland.co.uk/ Just to add, being live near games like any of the They Came From…! games played live in a game hall is a revelatory moment for a lot of people as they see (and hear) just how much fun the players are having! It’s like nothing else out there! Much like Onyx Path itself, there’s nothing like it out there, even after: Ten Years, Many Worlds, One Path! BLURBS! Kickstarter! http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Double-Feature-Splash.png Our very different and very daring They Came from the Cyclops’s Cave! and They Came From [CLASSIFIED]! Double Feature Event is in its last few days! We’ve passed and achieved a bunch of stretch Goals, and now is the time we’re stretching to add another new project built section by section via Stretch Goals – 80s Action Adventures!
