Exalted Essay Collection (Exalted)
Redlines:
Crucible of Legends - EX3 Storytellers Guide (Exalted 3rd Edition)
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.
You can check out the previous ones on DriveThruRPG.com!
Final Week: Mummy: The Curse Second Edition on Kickstarter!
In Mummy: The Curse, players take on the characters of the Arisen, humans who were subjects of the greatest magic ever worked by mortal hands, the Rite of Return, in the long-lost Nameless Empire. As part of the Rite, they underwent ritual death, and their souls were eternally bound to their mortal remains. Consequently, while the Arisen can be killed, they will always return, their bodies reforming anew.
Mummy: The Curse Second Edition includes all the rules you need to play as one of the Arisen: Decrees and Pillars that reflect the transformation by the Rite of Return, Utterances and Affinities as the powers you wield and the price you pay for them, magical relics and vessels for use or sacrifice, and all manner of antagonists from immortals to Shuankhsen and others besides.
We're almost in the last week and would love your help to pass even more Stretch Goals!

September 2019 Update
over 4 years ago
– Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 05:18:21 PM
Hello Dragon-Backers,
It's been a busy month, with all shipments going out, and follow ups on stray deliveries and a bit of back-and-forth. But here we are now, ready for our month end status report!
It's James, your delivery follow-up point person!
Topics for This Update
1. Everything Should Be Delivered!
2. Monthly Exalted Releases
3. EXALTED Project Status Report
4. DRAGON-BLOODED Reward Tracking
5. Onyx Path Kickstarter Campaigns
Everything Should Be Delivered!
All of the Dragon-Blooded orders have shipped. From what I've heard and seen, just about all of them have been received. And, I'm pretty sure we're all in agreement - the book is awesome! The maps are awesome! I'm really really happy with the way this project has turned out, even though I've had to rearrange my RPG shelves a few times to show off my new books.
IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR ORDER...
IF THE TRACKING NUMBER SAYS YOUR PACKAGES IS DELIVERED BUT YOU DON'T HAVE IT: Double-check your Backerkit Page that the correct address was provided (listed under SHIPPING INFO), and maybe check with your neighbors to make sure it wasn’t accidentally left there. If that doesn’t turn up anything, contact the carrier or your local post office to report the package as not received. Sometimes a package gets marked "delivered" by accident when passed to the final point carrier, so it can still show up a day or two later, so definitely continue to check for it.
IF YOUR TRACKING NUMBER SEEMS TO SHOW YOUR PACKAGE STUCK IN TRANSIT: Depending on the carrier, you may want to contact the local delivery office. I've seen so many orders sitting in a local post office for 8 weeks while the recipient was left unaware that it was waiting. Additionally, other backers have solved issues almost immediately with a quick call to FedEx and providing their tracking number.
Again, sometimes the tracking status isn't properly updated when passed to the next point carrier, so it can still show up a day or two later, so definitely continue to check for it.
If your order is irreparably damaged, or your package has not delivered, you can contact me at Onyx.kickstarter @ gmail.com.
If you're getting in touch with me this way, please make sure to include 1) Your Name, 2) Your BackerKit e-mail address (if different than the one you're using), 3) Your address, and 4) Pictures of the damaged items (if that's the issue) or tracking number status, and 5) What I can help you with, of course!
Again, just about all of the deliveries have completed without any issues, so this is just for those few that have gone astray or been roughed up during transit.

Sliding ever closer to completion! I'll post our list of delivered and pending rewards with each update, so that we can track everything that's needed and keep on the same page. As mentioned up top, feel free to check out Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes posts (linked here) which will give you a weekly status report on ALL of the projects Onyx Path has on the go (you may see spoilers for my monthly updates, or see what other kickstarter campaigns are currently running or about to launch).
Onyx Path has teamed up with Handiwork Games to update and expand the legendary Creature Collection for their Scarred Lands 5th Edition setting! Right now, gangs of monsters are battling each other to see who gets to be included in the book! Join in and root for your favorites!
You woke up… different. Someone changed you: on a slab, an operating table, an altar. By luck or by fate, you escaped. Hunted by your creators, they hold all the cards, and it seems they might recapture you. Except, what they don’t understand is they’ve stoked the fires of vengeance; what they did wasn’t right. What they don’t know is that now — you’re hunting them.
August 2019 Update
over 4 years ago
– Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 12:28:25 AM
Hello Dragon-backers,
The last few updates have been all about delivery process, so let's get back to our regular month end status report. This one should see a lot of the "Pending" rewards finally moved over to "Delivered" - although that may actually mean "in transit" for some of you still.
It's BackerKit James, your post-campaign Pledge Manager.
All packages have now been shipped. We had two minor issues with some of the early US packages that have been discovered and dealt with.
1) There were 8 orders from the Archimandrite of the Immaculate Order reward tier that shipped without their copy of the Exalted 3rd Edition Deluxe Core Book. Follow up shipments have gone out and all backers should have this (if it was included in your reward) within the week.
2) There were 14 orders that included the "TWO MAPS - One of Each" reward that had only one of the two maps sent in the initial shipment. Follow up shipments with the missing map should all be out by tomorrow, with delivery happening within the following week.
Everything else should either have delivered in one shipment, or currently be in transit to you.
If you login to your BackerKit account for this project, you can check your tracking number:
Yeah, I'm blurring out my info! I just got a copy of the Exalted 3rd Edition Deluxe Core Book! That's a collector's item! Gotta keep it safe!!
1. Your tracking number is listed here. You can click to show updates for your delivery. It can take up to 48 hours to update, so think of it more as a guideline than an absolute.
2. You can access your Digital Downloads with this button. You should have redemption codes for DrivethruRPG for all of the awarded Digital rewards that have been delivered and are included in your list of rewards.
3. Your list of rewards is included at the bottom here. So, if you think you're missing something that you should have, double-check to make sure that it was actually included in your reward tier or added on during the post-campaign phase.
If you need to have the BackerKit access link re-sent, you can return to your survey by requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/
TRACKING YOUR ORDERS
IF THE TRACKING NUMBER SAYS YOUR PACKAGES IS DELIVERED BUT YOU DON'T HAVE IT: Double-check your Backerkit Page that the correct address was provided (listed under SHIPPING INFO in the picture above), and maybe check with your neighbors to make sure it wasn’t accidentally left there. If that doesn’t turn up anything, contact the carrier or your local post office to report the package as not received. Sometimes a package gets marked "delivered" by accident when passed to the final point carrier, so it can still show up a day or two later, so definitely continue to check for it.
IF YOUR TRACKING NUMBER SEEMS TO SHOW YOUR PACKAGE STUCK IN TRANSIT: Depending on the carrier, you may want to contact the local delivery office. I've seen so many orders sitting in a local post office for 8 weeks while the recipient was left unaware that it was waiting. Additionally, other backers have solved issues almost immediately with a quick call to FedEx and providing their tracking number.
Again, sometimes the tracking status isn't properly updated when passed to the next point carrier, so it can still show up a day or two later, so definitely continue to check for it.
So, please, check your tracking number over the next few weeks. If you haven't received your package by, let's say September 14th, review the tracking number to see where the issue might be. Again, it may take up to 48 hours for any status updates to appear, and depending on the country and carrier, each package may enjoy a different transit time. But if we're a few weeks into September, let's see if we can sort out any delivery issues while everything's still fresh.
If your order is irreparably damaged, or your package has not delivered by September 14th, you can contact me at Onyx [dot] kickstarter [at] gmail.com. Except, you know, replacing the [dot] and [at] with "." and "@". Let's see if that clever trick avoided some spambots!
If you're getting in touch with me this way, please make sure to include 1) Your Name, 2) Your BackerKit e-mail address (if different than the one you're using), 3) Your address, and 4) Pictures of the damaged items (if that's the issue), and 5) What I can help you with, of course!
Again, just about all of the deliveries have completed without any issues, so this is just for those few that have gone astray or been roughed up during transit.
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.

Deviant: The Renegades presents a game where the victims of experiments band together to bring down the monolithic organizations that twisted and warped them. Coming Soon to Kickstarter from Onyx Path.
Reward Shipping Update
over 4 years ago
– Fri, Aug 16, 2019 at 05:43:53 PM
Hello Dragon-Backers,
An important update today - the deluxe hardcover versions of Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought are now shipping.
It's James, still recovering from Gen Con, but happy to share this exciting news!
We're about to move a bunch of rewards from the "pending" to "delivered" lists (or, at least the "shipped, en route to delivery" list), and I wanted to post an overview of the process, provide some info and timelines, and ask for your help to ensure this goes as smoothly as possible.
SHIPPING UPDATE
There were A LOT of books to ship out for this one! To make sure it was as complicated as possible, Onyx Path's fulfillment partner had to deal with the deluxe DB book, the 150 deluxe Exalted Core books that were included in one reward tier, the DB Storyteller Screen, and two cloth maps!
To manage the skids of product coming in and going out, the distribution has been broken into waves:
Wave I: US deluxe DB book only orders
Wave II: US deluxe DB book orders + additional items (EX3 deluxe, screen, maps)
Wave III: International deluxe DB book only orders
Wave IV: International deluxe DB book orders + additional items (EX3 deluxe, screen, maps)
The latest update I've got from our fulfillment partner says that domestic orders (waves I and II) should be completed by end of day today (Friday, August 16), with international orders (waves III and IV) set to be completed by end of day next Friday (August 23).
Thanks to everyone for their patience as the shipping team works through the skids of product, and thanks to everyone who's already received their orders for sharing some amazing pictures on social media!
TRACKING INFORMATION
As the orders prepare to ship, Tracking information is loaded into the BackerKit Pledge Manager system. This information is set-up and loaded in during the pick and pack stage, so most tracking numbers will initially list the order as "Pre-Shipment Status." It will update as it moves to shipped and delivered status.
You can access your Tracking number in Backerkit, and click on the Tracking Number to go to the carrier page and get additional information on the shipping status.
Step-by-step instructions to retrieve tracking number:
In your Backerkit account, select GO TO PAGE to see your options
Go To TRACKING NUMBERS to see the carrier's tracking number for this shipment
GO TO PAGE: Tracking Numbers - you can see the tracking number provided by the carrier. Clicking on the tracking number should take you to the carrier's update status page for your shipment.
If your order has shipped, you can also retrieve the tracking number on your summary page:
Again, start with the GO TO PAGE option
Choose the REVIEW PAGE
The REVIEW PAGE shows your tracking number, shipping info you've provided, and confirms your order listing.
Except, of course, your info shouldn't be all blurred out! :)
If you need to have the BackerKit access link re-sent, you can return to your survey by requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/
TRACKING YOUR ORDERS
As noted on these pages, it may take up to 48 hours for Tracking Information to update. That said, tracking your packages - especially for international orders - can provide great assistance in solving minor issues before they become major issues.
I've dealt with several situations where shipments were marked as "delivered" but the backer hadn't checked the tracking information for months, unaware that the package had been sitting at a neighbor's house or stuck in a local postal facility.
So, please, check your tracking number over the next few weeks. If you haven't received your package by, let's say September 14th, review the tracking number to see where the issue might be.
Again, it may take up to 48 hours for any status updates to appear, and depending on the country and carrier, each package may enjoy a different transit time. But if we're a few weeks into September, let's see if we can sort out any delivery issues while everything's still fresh.
For example, if Package status indicates it was delivered but you never received it
Double-check your Backerkit REVIEW PAGE (as detailed above) that the correct address was provided, and maybe check with your neighbors to make sure it wasn’t accidentally left there. If that doesn’t turn up anything, contact the carrier or your local post office to report the package as not received and please contact me using the Contact Creator button on kickstarter to let me know you didn’t get your order.
I've seen so many orders sitting in a local post office for 8 weeks while the recipient was left unaware that it was waiting. Additionally, other backers have solved issues almost immediately with a quick call to FedEx and providing their tracking number.
It's a HUGE help to me and Onyx Path if we can solve any wayward shipment or stuck orders in September and October, rather than waiting until the end of the year when shipping systems finally give up delivery attempts and return the items to our fulfillment partner (at an extra cost to Onyx Path). Let's avoid paying for multiple return shipments if we can! Thanks for your help in advance.
SO EXCITING!
Now, all of that stuff out of the way, I've got to say that I'm so excited for this round of kickstarter rewards to ship! I'm part of the International Wave IV, so will be holding my breath for another week, but I'd better start clearing shelf space and making room on my wall for a big map of the Blessed Isle!
I'll send out our regular month-end update in a few weeks, and list all of our rewards and the delivery status. We're about to move so many from the pending column that it's going to be amazing to see how far we've come!
Thanks again to everyone for their support and excitement throughout this process!
