Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought for Exalted 3rd Ed.

Created by Onyx Path Publishing - Exalted Dragon-blooded

Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought is a core expansion for the Exalted tabletop roleplaying game. Exalted 3rd Edition is set in a mythic world where spirits walk openly among men, warring demigods topple kingdoms, and the restless dead roam on moonless nights. Heroes granted power by the mightiest gods war and intrigue against one another for the fate of Creation. These are the Exalted!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Kickstarter Backer Supporter Names
over 5 years ago – Mon, Dec 31, 2018 at 07:59:31 PM

Happy New Year, Dragon-Backers,

Now that the backer PDFs have been released, it seems that there are some backers who wished they'd included a different name for their Kickstarter supporter listing or have updated their handle since the campaign ended.

So, I'm firing up my DeLorean and on this last day of 2018, I'm going to quickly (88 MPH) go back in time and try a do-over.

PLEASE HAVE ANY REVISIONS IN BY JANUARY 8TH, 2019

For each of our Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought reward tiers, one of the rewards is having your name listed in the final version of the book under various headings.

As a default, we'll be using your name as it appeared on your Kickstarter profile during the time of this campaign. However, if you wish to have it appear differently, there's a question in the BackerKit survey allowing you to provide us with this information.

(For example, if your Kickstarter handle was "James B." but you would prefer to be listed as "J. Bell," you can provide that information as a response in your BackerKit survey.)

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://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/

On JANUARY 8th, 2019, I will be downloading the survey answers for the final time and building the revised and final list for Kickstarter Supporter credits. Please ensure the name listed in your Backerkit Survey questionnaire is correct and how you'd like it to appear.

If you've already filled out your survey and are content with your name on your Kickstarer profile already, no further action is necessary! Carry on about your business and have a happy New Year!

Thanks everyone,

- James

REWARD: Backer PDF Distribution
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 19, 2018 at 06:25:16 PM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

Great and exciting news today! This isn't just a regular almost month-end update (though it is that as well!), this is a notice that one of our big rewards is being sent out - the backer PDF for Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought!

 
It's on the way!

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought 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

 
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with a link for the Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought Backer PDF today 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://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards 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://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/faq

BACKER PDF VERSION  

This is the first versions of Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought to be released. Note that there is also a second file included in each download - a PDF character sheet. We've sent you these initial Backer PDFs for three reasons:

1) To thank you for your support! You helped keep this game alive and bring this expansion into the world, and you deserve to see it first!  

2) So you can start playing a Dragon-Blooded exalt! These are the actual rules - this is the latest expansion for the Exalted 3rd Edition game! It's real, and it's time to defend the Realm!  

3) To make the final version the best it can be! 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.

You can report any such issues on the Onyx Path forums here:

Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought Errata Reporting: http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/exalted/1275256-dragon-blooded-what-fire-has-wrought-errata

Generally, we try to keep these threads open for the next 2 weeks, although they may be accessible a little longer due to the holiday. Still, please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure we're getting everything covered.

We won't be collecting errata from other spots, just those specific threads on the Onyx Path forum. Please note these threads will be for errata only - typos, incorrect math, page elements that overlap incorrectly, etc. It won't be for book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.

After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), we will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice that you can re-download your file with the latest version. This will happen closer to when the final deluxe hardcover books are getting ready to ship.

You've already made the game a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.

Speaking of which...


The Kickstarter for They Came From Beneath The Sea! is now live!  

They Came From Beneath The Sea! is a new tabletop RPG from Onyx Path, encompassing the wonder, horror, thrills, and hilarity of 1950s science fiction. This game evokes all that is great in the B-movies of decades ago, and provides a dynamic, fun experience at the table.  

The players, as humans, live in a world under increasing attack. The attackers? Aliens from beneath the sea, obviously!  

Adventures can range from the one-shot defense of small coastal town, to the lengthier liberation of a cruise ship invested with gill-kin, all the way to a campaign in which characters seize an alien submarine and ride it all the way down to the sea bed to take the fight to the invaders.  

Put down your malt shakes, turn on the jukebox, and prepare your harpoons! You don’t want to be caught unawares when it’s revealed that They Came From Beneath The Sea!

It's James, your point person for this Kickstarter campaign.

End of November 2018 Update
over 5 years ago – Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 08:16:35 PM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

Back on track for the end of the month update - no pumpkin carving this time! Funny enough, today's big task was taking my car in to get the winter tires put on. I remember taking the car in at the start of spring to have the winter tires taken off and trying to explain this Dragon-Blooded kickstarter to the people in the waiting room. Good times!

So, our regular month-end Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought summary. It's a similar refrain - we're getting close to the backer PDF release. Not much to add to that, but progress is being made, sometimes incremental, sometimes in great bounds, and it won't be too much longer.

So, on to the regular monthly updates:

 
The Onyx Path crew, including Dixie, Rich, Lisa, Matt, Eddy, Danielle, and other Onyx Path writers and developers will be at PAX Unplugged in Philly, November 30th – December 2nd. They're in booth #2133 and will be hanging out, selling books and running a lot of demos and playtests all through the convention.They have two separate tables in the demo area, so there should be lots to sit in on. If you're in the area, come by and say hi!

MONTHLY RELEASES


Now available in PDF via DriveThruRPG: Hundred Devils Night Parade part 18: Black Hollow and Cockatrice!

From the frozen North to the burning South, and all directions in between, there are creatures that stalk Creation. Demons, spirits, monsters and even creatures who live alongside mankind are in every region.  

In this collection you will find new foes, encounter old enemies, and learn the secrets of these denizens of Exalted 3rd Edition’s wondrous world


Also available: Adversaries of the Righteous part 13, Peremuz, Rogue Homunculus

From the bustling streets of Nexus to the savage western seas, Creation is ripe with threats to mortals and Chosen alike. Crooked traders, vile occultists, and even zealous protectors of the Realm can be found in every city, satrapy, and region waiting for unsuspecting targets or standing their ground as they prepare for the inevitable.  

In this collection you will meet new foes, encounter old enemies, and learn the inner workings of several different factions and societies dedicated to criminal activity, nefarious plotting, and more.

Quick-witted and clever, with a sharp tongue, Peremuz served his creator for several years as a laboratory assistant, conversationalist, messenger, and spy. But when Lofty Raiton died, her progeny bickered over ownership of Peremuz as though he were a pet or a tool rather than a person. Shouldering a pouch full of coin, he departed to make his own destiny.

Welcome to November 2018 Update!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Nov 01, 2018 at 11:53:31 AM

Hello Dragon-Backers!

Why is James dressed as a vampire? Is he a Lunar Exalt with a Bat as his totem? Read on to find out...

Technically, this update should have gone out yesterday, to make it the End of October 2018 update. But I was busy scooping the guts out of a pumpkin (last minute, I know!) for Halloween, so instead I wanted to welcome all Dragon-Blooded to November with a quick update.

The short version: Gettin' closer! The Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought layout is currently in proofing, which means it's being reviewed by the creative team, editors, art director, and, of course, the license-holders to make sure everything's where it's supposed to be. This is still an involved process, and there may be pockets of things that still need to be done (ie, placeholder spots instead of finished art), but it's an important step that gets us ever closer to having the book on our screen!

 
Redlines:
- Heirs to the Shogunate  

Development:
- Lunars: Fangs At the Gates  

Post-Editing Development:
- False Images - Exalted 3rd Novel #2 (Aaron Rosenberg and Lauren Roy) 

In Art Direction:
- The Realm 
- Lunars (Getting art for eventual KS)

Proofing:
- Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought 

On Sale Soon!
- Circle of Protection - Exalted 3rd Novel #1 (Matt Forbeck and James Huggins)

It's awesome to see the progress these projects have made since our last update. Ever forward...

Monthly Releases

Speaking of which... (and answering why James is dressed as a vampire!)

 
Chicago lies at the center of the web that is the American heartland. Tendrils of power, wealth, and reward stretch outward, ensnaring the selfish, greedy, and unwary.  

Yet, Chicago attracts its predators, too.  

There are creatures that would have the city for their own, spinning their own webs of malice and intrigue. But among the city’s towering skyscrapers and wind-swept streets, who is the spider and who is the fly?

Chicago By Night, an updated edition of White Wolf’s bestselling city book, will be Onyx Path Publishing’s first supplement for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition.  

In this hardcover supplement, you will find descriptions of most of the Kindred inhabitants of Chicago, complete with 5th Edition write ups; the secret history of Chicago with detailed maps and geographical details; relationship details and factions; and dozens of encounters organized by theme, which provide Storytellers a means to make the setting come alive for the players.  

If you're interested in checking out the shadowy streets of Chicago, head on over and join us: Here's the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/chicago-by-night-for-vampire-the-masquerade-5th-ed

September 2018 Status Update
over 5 years ago – Sun, Sep 30, 2018 at 02:42:26 AM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

We are still in the long "In Process" part of building the book. I know the team is working hard to make it gorgeous - and we added more awesome art during the campaign - so now it's a matter of working through the layout, approving art as it comes in, sending it all to be reviewed and approved by the license holder, and then hammering it all together. 

So, another update where I tell you progress is being made and the book is moving forward but we'll stay patient for a while more as we get closer to delivery.

So, like last month, I'll take an opportunity to update on all Exalted-related projects. These updates come from the Onyx Path Monday Meeting Notes (linked HERE), in case you want to see the many projects Onyx Path has going on.

It's James, your point person for this Kickstarter campaign.

Also available: Adversaries of the Righteous part 12: Meimuna Kyree

From the bustling streets of Nexus to the savage western seas, Creation is ripe with threats to mortals and Chosen alike. Crooked traders, vile occultists, and even zealous protectors of the Realm can be found in every city, satrapy, and region waiting for unsuspecting targets or standing their ground as they prepare for the inevitable.  

In this collection you will meet new foes, encounter old enemies, and learn the inner workings of several different factions and societies dedicated to criminal activity, nefarious plotting, and more.

Kyree knows much regarding the habits, likes, and dislikes of numerous Eastern spirits… along with all the gossip regarding Nechara’s noble houses and grandees.

COLLECTING THE MONTHLY RELEASES

A few weeks back, Rich had reached out to the community to discuss preferences on collecting these monthly releases - larger volumes released over a longer period of time, or more-frequent smaller volumes. After receiving and reviewing the responses, Rich says:

"Thank you everyone who wrote in to let us know how you'd be interested in having compiled book versions of our monthly releases. We have heard you folks, and since the overwhelming majority of you would prefer a single volume of each, rather than multiple quicker and smaller ones, we will wait a year-ish and compile both Hundred Devils Night Parade and Adversaries of the Righteous into single volumes."


Also, have you checked out the Exalted community content in the Storyteller's Vault yet? If you're thinking of creating some Exalted goodies, be sure to check out the Style Guide and Resources already available to you.
