Hello Scion 2e Backers!
RichT here:
Hope you are all doing well and staying safe! Here are a couple of items we'd like to share with you:
Scion TV
Jenkins and Tate continue to work on the pitch, and we're expecting a full script for the pilot to review in November!
SCION 2e FICTION ANTHOLOGY Reward Links Sent Out!
If you think back - way, way back - to our campaign you may remember when we achieved the Stretch Goal for a Scion Fiction Anthology - well, now is the time for Tales of Heroes! This is the last of the rewards for this Kickstarter that we can deliver to you ourselves, and we're just thrilled to finally be able to get these stories out to you!
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If you were a Kickstarter backer who gets this reward, your link to claim your Tales of Heroes Scion 2e Fiction Anthology Backer PDF has been sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruFiction 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 DriveThru's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
You should login to your DTFiction account prior to clicking or pasting the redemption link for best results.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your Backerkit account and it'll show anything available. Your Backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier.
BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of the Scion 2e Fiction Anthology to be released. The devs and editors have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect facts, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Scion 2e Fiction Anthology Feedback Form!
Which you can access here: https://forms.gle/SkdeA92reJwZ47m79
Generally, Onxy Path tries to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks, so please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure they're getting everything covered.
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note this form will be for errata only. It won't be for general book discussion - you can do that on social media, including the official Onyx Path Scion forums and Discord, or on the Kickstarter comments page.
Also, they already know about any Page XX notations - those are usually corrected after any changes are made and the books are being finalized.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from Drivethru that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.

Jenkins and Tate continue to work on the pitch, with the first year breakdown and the pilot script being priorities.

WORLD OF DARKNESS 20TH ANNIVERSARY FANS!!
NOW ON KICKSTARTER
Harano is the state in which a werewolf finds themselves, when they succumb to despair. Some Garou look dimly on such kin, believing it is no way to end a life. “Self sacrifice is the only true way to meet the Apocalypse!” they cry, as they rush into battle. Those in Harano merely pine for what once was, and what they believe never can be.
Except, they’re wrong.
W20: THE APOCALYPTIC RECORD is a capstone book designed to conclude the Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition game line, tying up your stories and paving the way for what may come next...
The Apocalyptic Record includes:
- Five chapters of in-character accounts, reports, songs, and tales from the heart of the Garou Nation, covering stories of grief and joy, battle and peace, spirits and kin.
- Story hooks in every chapter to make the content within immediately usable at the gaming table.
- A chapter dedicated to the Werewolf: The Apocalypse metaplot, and how to utilize it in your stories.
Check it out on Kickstarter and join in the hunt!

Next up is the Trinity Continuum Core Storypath Showcase! I'll share links to those videos in our next monthly update!

July Update for Scion 2e
over 2 years ago
– Sun, Aug 01, 2021 at 05:10:50 PM
Hello Scion 2e Backers!
RichT here:
Last month I shared with you the prototype for Giantsbane that Jenkins and Tate had created to push the Scion TV show. This month, I've got a bit more to share, with the What's Up With Onyx Path panel from the recent Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention from a few weeks back now on our YouTube channel.
Brian Jenkins from Jenkins and Tate Entertainment, the team behind the development of Scion for TV, dropped in to talk about work on the project, his love for Scion and other tabletop RPGS, and other cool stuff.
You can see this good stuff by skipping right to the 33:27 timestamp!
https://youtu.be/ITfsYWInQ2A?t=2007
And while I'm sharing videos, let's expand the scope a bit , since the Scion Second Edition game uses Onyx Path's Storypath System, I wanted to share the Storypath Q&A Panel, which features Danielle Lauzon, Ian A. A. Watson, Catie Griffin, Neall Raemonn Price, and Eddy Webb to discuss various aspects of the Storypath System and how it varies through different game lines.
https://youtu.be/xHm0RgpSHVo?t=206
You'll see the Onyx Path team shine the spotlight on Storypath a bit more in the next while. In addition to the Tasty Bits mini-supplements they've been releasing, they're introducing a new streamed series that they're calling Storypath Showcase.
From the latest Onyx Path Monday Meeting Notes:
Storypath Showcase is a new actual play anthology series that presents games using the Storypath System though short, exciting, and digestible story arcs. Beginning with Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, this show presents a session zero detailing character creation followed by a 2-4 episode arc. When an arc is completed, the show moves to a new setting with a new cast. Storypath Showcase gives the viewer the opportunity to learn about our many worlds and see the Storypath System in action. The sessions are prerecorded so the Storyguide and some cast members will be in the chat to answer questions or talk about the stream’s events.
This Saturday, join us at 6 PM EDT for Aberrant Episode 1: Dead Drop, in which Team Tonight’s bench roster is activated to investigate the murder of a Project Utopia operative who was undercover with the Megasyndicate. If you missed the Session Zero stream, don’t worry! It’s available to Twitch subscribers on VOD and will be on the OnyxPath YouTube channel soon!
Following Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, we will run Trinity Continuum Core, followed by games from all our Storypath lines including Scion, They Came From…!, and Dystopia Rising: Evolution!

Now on Kickstarter:
Squeaks in the Deep is a chronicle sourcebook for both Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau. It’s usable with either game, or as part of a joint experience. Some highlights include:
- Two new species for players to portray: rats and mice
- Six new rodent callings
- Psionic rules
- Information on the Underneath, as well as a variety of new enemies
- “Confluence of Cults,” an adventure featuring the Underneath with both Pugmire and Monarchies starting points
Squeaks in the Deep offers a new, bold canvas for your Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau games: the Underneath. This vast world of natural caverns, abandoned tunnels, and forgotten facilities offer enticing adventures to draw in heroes of all kinds. The Underneath holds treasures long lost by Man. It also holds unusual creatures with evolved intelligence like dogs and cats, but who changed in unexpected ways. For all the ways the surface world tried to reclaim what Man left behind, the Underneath twists and turns away from the expected for those who map the depths.

June Scion2e Update!

Hello Scion Backers!
RichT here:
We at Onyx Path hope that you are all keeping safe and healthy as we starting working through 2021!
Like I promised last month, here's a pic of one of the production models for Giantsbane:
This is a resin model, so not a working metal prop like they would use in the show, and in my hand it seems to match the size of the gun in the cover art we all know and love! They would actually create one that could stand up to the rigors of using it on set, and even be rigged for special effects. Although I imagine that any lightning bolt effects would be added as CGI.
Here’s the link to the announcement if you missed it earlier, so you know what I'm going on about: http://theonyxpath.com/announcement-scion-tv/

Exalted: Essence on Kickstarter, another way of interacting with Exalted Third Edition.
Exalted Essence is a streamlined version of Exalted Third Edition, designed to welcome new players and reintroduce old friends to the world of Creation. It contains all the mechanics and advice players and Storytellers need to run complete games of Exalted Essence, though setting material and character, place, and creature ideas can be supplemented by the core line’s content.
All the material in the book is compatible with Exalted Third Edition, so new and established fans can collect the core line’s books and use them with a beginner-friendly and less mechanically dense system. Inside you will find:
- Rules for creating all 10 Exalt types: Solars, Dragon-Blooded, Lunars, Exigents, Sidereals, Abyssals, Infernals, Getimians, Liminals, and Alchemicals.
- A brief overview of Creation, so players and Storytellers can dive right in.
- Rules for Universal and Exalt-specific Charms, Artifacts, Martial Arts, Sorcery and Necromancy, and more!
- Advice for running and playing Exalted with mixed parties or same-Exalt parties, in multiple interesting styles of play.
Remember, this is not a new Edition - it's a new Addition.
