July 2024 Update

Hello Talents,
It's the Tuesday before the final Thursday of the month, and that means it's time for our regularly scheduled Trinity Continuum updates! The Trinity Continuum Player's Guide is currently in the proofing phase of production, which means there's a mostly complete version of the PDF and the team are just giving it the double-check treatment to ensure there aren't any issues with text smashing into pictures or words getting stranded on page breaks, or something technical that I don't really know.
But I do know that means I have more artwork to share!
So the proofing with the developers will bounce back and forth a few times, and eventually Onyx Path will have a backer version for distribution. I'm hoping that'll come in next month's update. Until then, I'm just gonna share a link to the
Trinity Continuum Panel (link) from Onyx Path's recent online game convention. The TC Team discusses all of the projects in the works, including the upcoming step out of the alpha universe with Trinity Continuum Steam Wars!

CURRENTLY FUNDING
Scion: Mythic Shards presents alternate realities for the World of Scion and provides new rules for players and Storyguides to incorporate into their games. Each chapter explores a single shard of reality at varying tiers of Scion gameplay. These chapters are standalone from each other and don’t need to be consumed with the other chapters in order to start playing.
Scion’s setting — the World — is an exciting place where heroes are larger than life, and Fate always lurks in the shadows, pulling strings. It is a place of urban fantasy where the legends and myths of our ancestors live in a world that’s much like our own.
But, there are some tales that belong to another world — stories that need another place to breathe and come alive — places like…
-
After the End: A post apocalyptic desert full of peril and opportunities for new beginnings
-
Cyber-Scion: A cyberpunk dystopia where Scions pilot mecha to fight corporate kaiju
-
Farewell to Heroes: Gritty noir cities where Scions are illegal
-
Four Color: A place of superheroes, alter-egos, and over-the-top excitement
-
Space Odyssey: An entire galaxy of starships and aliens

Hello Talents,
It's the Tuesday before the final Thursday of the month, and that means it's time for our regularly scheduled Trinity Continuum updates! The Trinity Continuum Player's Guide is currently in the layout phase of production, which means the artwork is completed and I can share some sneak peeks!
I always say that you know the reward is getting close when artwork starts sneaking out! Hopefully layout will proceed smoothly and the team will be able to do their proofing reviews quickly and we'll see our backer PDFs before too much longer!
REWARDS STILL PENDING
After Layout is completed, the team reviews the PDF to ensure that there are no issues before it gets distributed to Backers.

Hello Talents,
The Tuesday before last Thursday of each month is Trinity Continuum update day, and here we are! Why is it on a Tuesday? So that I can check the
Monday Meeting Notes posted by Onyx Path each week to see if there's been any developments in the progress of our projects!
Right now, our main book is in the second phase of Art Direction, where the artists have been hired and are working on the art. Soon, illustrations will be reviewed and approved and the book will move on to layout. Whenever we have any artwork to preview, I'll be sure to share it in our monthly update!
Hey! A great place to learn about the ongoing and upcoming Trinity Continuum projects is probably...
Next month, on June 14-16, Onyx Path will be running their annual Virtual Gaming Convention. They'll be streaming panels on their twitch channel (
twitch.tv/theonyxpath). Here's the panel schedule
The big info panels are usually the Opening Ceremonies on Friday and the What's Up With Onyx Path? panel and Trinity Continuum panel on Saturday.
In addition, they'll have a bunch of Actual Play sessions streamed via partner channels over the weekend, including some Adventure!, Aegis, Aether, and Anima on Saturday and Sunday!

ENDING SOON
At the Gates is a high fantasy tabletop roleplaying game about burgeoning heroes struggling to survive, fighting for what’s right, exploring dangerous places, and saving the world.
Magic fuels all parts of Gaia, from fields of wheat to the people who sow them. Magic is rooted in the living nature of the world: the elements, the mind, the body, and the soul. The Void stands outside the world, and represents all the esoteric concepts such as order, entropy, and energy. Where the Void meets the world, Outlands grow. These places are warped by the intermingling of two opposite magics, and everything that lives there is tainted and dangerous. Hidden inside these Outlands are gates into the Void, standing as literal tears in reality.
You play as heroes who have chosen to buck the status quo and try to change the course of things. Your characters may attempt to change the course of the war, delve into the secrets of daemons and the Void, fight against tyranny to protect what they love in the world, fight to restore balance to Gaia, or all the above.
You can stand at the gates and hold back the tide, changing the course of history. Will you heed the call?

Hello Talents,
As spring possibly begins to take hold where I live
(not really, we're in something known as "false spring" to lure us into putting away our winter tires and coats), it's time for our monthly update. As mentioned when these post-crowdfunding updates first started, they will be pretty similar and maybe a bit boring, but it's important to keep in regular contact and keep us all on the same page.
