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!

August 2018 Update
over 5 years ago – Thu, Aug 30, 2018 at 09:56:28 PM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

It's been just over a month since my last status update, so we're due! No major changes since last time - work continues on What Fire Has Wrought, with art direction and layout progress being made bit by bit. 

As always, you can check the status of all Onyx Path projects in the Monday Meeting Notes (link here)

With no major updates, I'll take a moment to update you on various Exalted releases, podcasts, and our current reward status list before plugging our latest kickstarter project.

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

HUNDRED DEVILS NIGHT PARADE

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. Now available in PDF from DriveThruRPG: Hundred Devils Night Parade part 16: Gem Seeker and Steel Eater for Exalted 3rd Edition!

 
ADVERSARIES OF THE RIGHTEOUS

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. Now available in PDF from DriveThruRPG: Adversaries of the Righteous part 11: Odara, Chosen of Ash for Exalted 3rd Edition!

 
White Wolf has announced that Exalted will soon be coming to Storytellers Vault, their portal for community-created content. The Storytellers Vault will allow fans to self-publish RPG material or fiction using any Exalted edition, with content creators themselves setting the price for the material they publish and receiving 50% of the revenue. It will provide access to templates and art packs, and allow publishing in any language supporting the vast global Exalted community. So, if you've had some Exalted stories brewing inside you, or gaming material that you've been dying to share, you'll soon have a new outlet for your creativity.


Onyx Path's Dixie Cochran drops by to discuss Exalted on Episode 17 of the Deliberative Podcast <link>

Dystopia Rising: Evolution - the latest Onyx Path Kickstarter campaign.

A post-apocalyptic setting featuring a mash up of Mad Max, Walking Dead, and the X-Men - plus so much more! The original edition spawned a live-action sensation, and now the game has come full-circle as Dystopia Rising: Evolution, a new edition of the tabletop roleplaying game that uses Onyx Path's Storypath System and incorporates and advances the setting as built by players and writers over many years.

Dystopia Rising: Evolution includes all the rules you need to play as a survivor in the post-apocalypse, including rules for creating characters for up to 24 different Strains, variations on humanity that survived the Fall. It also has details on the powers of faith and psionics, along with advice on running action-adventure stories, webs of personal intrigue, or procedural investigations. And, finally, dozens of antagonists, including a variety of zombies and raiders to use in your series.  

We've already achieved our funding goal and are on our way to unlocking our third stretch goal, which adds more content and rewards to backers! If that sounds interesting to you, and you'd like to help re-build society and forge new communities after the Fall, come check it out!

(Almost) August 2018 Update
almost 6 years ago – Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 02:02:37 AM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

We're a week away from the Gen Con gaming convention in Indianapolis, so I'm sending out the August update a bit early. If you'll be attending the massive convention running August 2-5, come visit Onyx Path at Booth 501 and maybe check out the What's Up with Onyx Path? panel to see what's planned for the next year(s).

Looking at the latest Monday Meeting Notes Production Schedule, it looks like there's a lot planned - the Lunars book is now out of first draft and in redlines!

Another great spot for some Exalted news, the OnyxPathcast recently interviewed awesome developer Eric Minton. If you haven't already heard it, it's definitely worth a listen to hear some tidbits about plans for the future...

PODBEAN LINK: ONYXPATHCAST

Eric's also scheduled to be a guest on an upcoming episode of The Deliberative Podcast, and I'm sure those guys will try to dig out some Exalted secrets and plans...

KICKSTARTER CONCIERGE

One more quick note to remind you that I'm currently running Onyx Path's latest Kickstarter campaign - for the second edition of a game about second chances - Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition.


There's FIVE DAYS LEFT for the Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition Kickstarter and we’ve funded the project and achieved eleven Stretch Goals so far! Thanks to all of our backers out there spreading the word! We are in good shape to be able to make a great looking hardcover edition, and get that into stores, even while we’re giving backers first look at the complete text and other fun benefits: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/geist-the-sin-eaters-2nd-edition

Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition includes all the rules you need to play as one of the Bound: Five Burdens reflecting the cause that pulled you back from the grave, five krewe Archetypes for building your own mystery religion, and the Haunts, Keys, and Ceremonies that provide the Bound with their macabre powers.  

It also includes the Chronicle of the Dead, featuring the Sin-Eaters’ struggle against the all-consuming Underworld and a variety of terrifying threats. In addition, for the first time in the Chronicles of Darkness line, ghosts are presented as playable characters.  

Like I said, the game is already funded, and now we're working at unlocking Stretch Goals - including additional rules and setting material in a Companion book, Memento Mori. If you haven't already, come by and check us out and hopefully join in on the fun!

Reward Distribution: Exalted 3rd Edition Rulebook PDF
almost 6 years ago – Mon, Jul 02, 2018 at 03:31:25 PM

Hello Dragon-backers,

Another reward is being fulfilled this morning! 

Now, most of you are already familiar with the Exalted 3rd Edition core rulebook and experts on the game, but as I've mentioned, I missed out on the first Exalted kickstarter and have only recently come into the game through the Dragon-Blooded campaign. So, while I was entranced by the writing and descriptions in the What Fire Has Wrought manuscript, there were a few gaps in my understanding because I hadn't read the Exalted 3rd Edition core rules! But that changes now!

I'll begin my studies and transform the Bell Household into the House of Bells, learning the ins and outs of this amazing game.

New Digital Reward Available: The Exalted 3rd Edition Core Rulebook PDF

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 were scheduled to receive the Exalted 3rd Edition Core Rulebook PDF as part of your rewards, you will see a redemption code in your Digital Rewards collection. 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

Speaking of which...

A Game about Second Chances gets a Second Edition...

 

On Monday, July 2nd, 12 noon Eastern US time, we start the Kickstarter for Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition for Chronicles of Darkness! If the very brief bit of info below sounds interesting, we'll have a lot more when the KS goes live - love to see you there!

In Geist: The Sin-Eaters, you play a person who died with a powerful burden on their soul — something they didn't accomplish in life, or something they never found. On the other side of the veil, they made a bargain with a powerful being called a geist, which returned them to the world of the living and to their own body, at the cost of a permanent bond between them and the geist. Now your character stands as a medium, with one foot in the world of the living and one in the world of the dead.

Quick Summer Update
almost 6 years ago – Thu, Jun 21, 2018 at 04:53:09 PM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

It's the first day of summer where I live, so just wanted to send a quick update on our status - no major changes, but if you haven't read the latest Exalted Dev Diary, you should check it out to see how many things will be coming your way in the future.

Final Hours of Fetch Quest

Mostly, I just wanted to touch base while there's still a few hours left in the latest Onyx Path kickstarter campaign for the Fetch Quest card game.


Fetch Quest is a family-friendly cooperative deck-building game. Each player represents a pioneer on a dangerous quest. The pioneers work together to overcome dangerous challenges and resolve missions. Once the missions are resolved, the quest is finished and the players win the game. We're running this Kickstarter to get additional new art for the cards and get the project printed in a form we can put into stores.  

The game is already funded, and we've added alternate Cat pioneer cards and a community content program. With only a few hours left, if you think you may be interested, now's the time to jump on it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/fetch-quest-a-deck-building-game-in-the-realms-of

June 2018 Update
almost 6 years ago – Fri, Jun 01, 2018 at 02:48:13 PM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

Normally, you'd see an update like this from me once a month, just a check-in and update to let you know where the various Dragon-Blooded projects are sitting and how the campaign is progressing. This campaign, however, has already had 3 updates from me recently, as lots of stuff was happening in May. So this post is mostly a quick summary of where we're at - I want to keep things constant and consistent over the life of this project.

Quick Update: Various projects in various stages. If you keep up with Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes, you'll see the following on their weekly schedule tracker:

In Layout: Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought

Art in Progress: Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought and The Realm

Remember we hit a Stretch Goal and added more art to the Dragon-Blooded book? Well, it's underway and on it's way, and the Onyx Path crew are busy incorporating it into the layout of the book. It's going to be gorgeous.

Also, awesome to note that The Realm is already in the Art Direction stage.

Also, a quick peek at the top of the list (the earliest stages) shows us Lunars: Fangs at the Gate in early First Draft stage! Love it!

KICKSTARTER CONCIERGE

I'll end this month's update with another quick reminder that I'm currently running Onyx Path's latest campaign, for family-friendly card game Fetch Quest.

 
Fetch Quest is a cooperative deck-building game. Each player represents a pioneer on a dangerous quest. The pioneers work together to overcome dangerous challenges and resolve missions. Once the missions are resolved, the quest is finished and the players win the game.

You can check out the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/fetch-quest-a-deck-building-game-in-the-realms-of

And if you want to learn more about the game, creator Eddy Webb goes through all the rules here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDKnKAtmTxI

The game is already funded, and now we want to dig into building our "booster pack" of cards, including adding cat pioneers from the Monarchies of Mau and opening the game up to allow Community Content and home-brewed expansion.
