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:

April 2021 Update
about 3 years ago – Thu, Apr 29, 2021 at 07:07:40 AM

Hello Dragon-Backers,

I held off as long as I could for our monthly update for April, hoping that we might get surprised by a Stretch Goal reward, but it doesn't look like it was meant to be for this month. According to the most recent Monday Meeting Notes on the Onyx Path website, Heirs of the Shogunate is in the Second Proofing stage, so I'm hopeful we'll see it before too much longer.

I do have some more art to share!

So, we'll continue to be patient for a little while longer. Hopefully we'll have some adjustments to our rewards list for next month's update!

March 2021 Update

Hello Dragon-Backers,

No big update for you yet, but we're getting close. I think Heirs to the Shogunate is finishing up in layout soon and will go to the team for proofing to catch any last issues before it's our turn to review, so hopefully not too much longer. I do have another picture!

February 2021 Update
about 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 23, 2021 at 11:46:24 AM

Hello Dragon-backers,

We're in the final week of the shortest month of the year, so I'll make this a pretty short update. No rewards this month, but I've got some preview art, which is just a taste of things to come.

Heirs to the Shogunate preview art

CROWDFUNDING NOW...

Victorian Mage is now live on Indiegogo

Victorian Mage provides advice and material for running your Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition chronicles amid the tumult of the Victorian era, as the Order of Reason rises to power and the Traditions falter.

Within this book you will also find a details of the state of the great magickal powers in this era: the Order of Reason, preparing for their metamorphosis into the Technocratic Union and riding upon the great beast of Empire; the Council of Nine, now merely eight, caught in infighting and looking for a new peer; and the Crafts, the manifold practices of magick across the world, who fight to save their peoples from conquest and exploitation.

In addition, Victorian Mage includes an examination of life as a magus in the stratified society of Imperial Britain and the wider empire; rules reflecting the difference in how magick works during this age, when the Consensus of the Technocracy has yet to enfold the globe; and a gazetteer of the Victorian world, touching on cultures and conflicts across the globe as empires struggle for dominance and the masses struggle simply to survive.

As with everything in the world of Mage: The Ascension, reality is shifting and you can't expect things to be as they always have been. We're running this Victorian Mage crowdfunding campaign a little differently. Check out Onyx Path's announcement post for more details, and I hope to see you there!

January 2021 Update
over 3 years ago – Tue, Jan 26, 2021 at 12:33:47 PM

Hello Dragon-backers,

It's the first update of 2021! Nothing fancy this month, we've still got two projects that are working their way through the production pathway, but I wanted to ensure that we continue our regular schedule of month end updates so that everyone knows where things stand.

Zero dots in healing.

There will hopefully be a big kickstarter project or two for Exalted this year, but right now I can just see everything is still on the project progress chart. I'll keep an eye on anything exciting and let you know whenever we find out more.

And, while I'm looking at Exalted awesomeness forthcoming, let's also check in to see some stuff that's out there now! Spreading the Exalted love!

Systematic Understanding of Everything is a fantastic Exalted Explainer Podcast by Exalted Dev Monica Speca and Exalted Writer Chazz Kellner. You should check it out, because it remains among the best Exalted shows out there.

Their most recent episodes are available over on https://www.exaltcast.com/, with their newest the following:
The Scavenger Lands hold the economic power of Nexus, the military power of Lookshy, and much much more. Monica and Chazz talk Forest Witches, the Hundred Kingdoms, the Tomb of Candle-Eyed Skulls, and hot hot economic action.  
https://www.exaltcast.com/2021/01/25/a-thousand-rivers-flow-to-the-sea-the-scavenger-lands/

After enjoying that, let's get back to keeping an eye on these two final projects and watching them as they work through their own progress pathway and eventually out to us!

NOW ON KICKSTARTER

Now on Kickstarter - click to check it out!

The ancient powers never fully went away. They wander our roads and cities, mingling with the teeming masses of humanity. Characters in Scion Second Edition begin as humans touched by fate, heirs to great powers and incredible destinies. In the core setting for Scion, characters discover they are the children of Gods, inheriting mantles, accomplishing great deeds, and deciding their own destinies. It’s a game about divinity and humanity, and everything in between — and now, with these two expansions, everything beyond as well. Scion: Dragon and Scion: Masks of the Mythos open new pathways, new origins, and new secrets for Scion Second Edition.

Check it out on Kickstarter! We've already funded and unlocked 14 Stretch Goals! As with Trinity Continuum core and Æon,  backers will have access to the complete draft manuscript prior to the end of the campaign!

2020 Year End Update
over 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 22, 2020 at 06:55:43 AM

Hello Dragon-backers,

Sneaking in a month end update - really, a year end update - in the middle of holiday baking (mostly tasting for me) and a long list of check in calls to make with friends and family. I missing rolling dice in person with my friends, and really miss seeing my family. I hope next year is a bit gentler on all of us.

Year end updates getting me emotional. Gonna get to status check ins to keep it together!

This year has obviously been full of unexpected challenges and difficult times. I know the Onyx Path team and writers were hit hard by the chaotic and shifting nature of the year, and plans and projects had to be shuffled around as situations and solutions were figured out. Projects that were expected to be completed or nearing completion were sometimes delayed, sometimes rescheduled, but never abandoned. I'm hoping 2021 is a much more manageable time, and looking forward to the results of the hard work of the Onyx Path team in keeping the machine running as best they could during this weird year.

ONYX PATH ON KICKSTARTER IN 2020

To say this year was challenging would be an understatement. Despite difficult, uncertainty, and demanding situations, the Onyx Path team continued to work on the great projects that have made us fans. It wasn't easy - schedules shifted, delays managed, and difficulties dealt with - but here we are at the end of 2020 and, despite the chaos, there are some victories to show!

KICKSTARTED PROJECTS RELEASED IN 2020

 KICKSTARTER PROJECTS FUNDED IN 2020

Kickstarter continues to be an important part of the process for Onyx Path, and looking at the long list of projects in the works on the Monday Meeting Notes blog, it certainly looks like that’ll continue to be the case in 2021.

Rather than just take pre-order for an upcoming project, Kickstarter has allowed Onyx Path to gauge interest in game lines (to see if they should develop additional projects beyond those offered during the campaign), and sometimes even add additional projects to a game line immediately via Stretch Goal achievements. More importantly, it’s a chance to interact with the community and for everyone to get involved from the earliest stages.

Looking at 2020, Onyx Path had 7 Kickstarter campaigns funded, with one more currently on the go!

And, though the campaign still has a day to go, the recent Dead Man's Rust mega-adventure and setting supplement for Scarred Lands 5th Edition has funded, which means it will get added to the list soon!

Thanks to your support during these campaigns, Onyx Path was able to introduce the following additional projects:

  • Trails of Ash and Bone (V5)
  • Forbidden Religions (V5)
  • Children of Blood (V5)
  • Hunter: The Vigil 2E Jumpstart
  • Tending the Flame (HtV 2E)
  • Operative's Dossier (M20)
  • Technocracy Reloaded Novella Anthology
  • Legacies of Earth (Legendlore 5E)
  • Monsters from the Crypt! (TCfBtG!)
  • Tales of Depravity! (TCfBtG!)
  • Heroes in a World of Horror! (TCfBtG!)
  • Scion: Demigod Companion (Scion Second Edition)
  • Scion: Demigod Scenarios (Scion Second Edition)
  • Paranormal Investigator's Toolkit (WoD 20A)
  • Hunting Monsters (WoD 20A)
  • Necromancers & Mediums (WoD 20A)
  • Ghost Hunters Jumpstart (WoD 20A)

All of that is in addition to the usual backer rewards, like T-shirt designs and digital wallpapers.

So, thank you for your ongoing support! Even in the chaos, confusion, heartbreak, and challenges of 2020, this hobby has continued to bring people together and provide distraction and respite during these difficult times.

FINAL CAMPAIGN OF 2020 - ENDING TOMORROW!

A 5E Mega-campaign set in the Scarred Lands. Check it out!
