Project Update: Returning Backer Stickers + Locking Pledge Manager



Hello, Caverns of Thracia backers!

A couple quick updates for you.

Pledge Manager Locks Soon! 

We plan to lock the pledge manager on Monday, February 10. At that time we will determine print runs for some of the PM-exclusive items, start pre-picking add-ons, and so on. Please finalize your surveys right now if you haven't already done so!

Please note - you can still change your address at a later date. We just need to lock in some other details. Addresses will remain flexible until we are much closer to fulfillment.

Returning Backer Bonus Stickers

As a backer of Caverns of Thracia, you'll receive a Thracia "returning backer chevron sticker" if you also back Terror From The UnderDeep. These stickers are a bonus item for backers who return to our next project. They stack (literally) so you can line them up on your gaming binder, laptop, car window, etc. There are full details in this 2-minute video!




Get in while the stretch goals are good!

Project Update: Download Your PDF!

You did it! Thanks so much for your support of our first ever Backerkit crowdfunder.

Download Your PDF

At the bottom of this post (under the title Backer-Exclusive Content) you can download your PDF copy of the Gate Pass Gazette Annual 2024. This will only be visible to backers, so you'll need to be logged in to your Backerkit account to see it.

Add-on PDFs will be shared via the pledge manager on backerkit over the next few weeks.


Fulfilment Plans

We're so excited to get these books into your hands! We'll be printing the Gate Pass Gazette Annual 2024 via an offset print run - as we met our stretch goal!

Below is the complete fulfilment plan for the project. Please note these dates are subject to change, but this is our plan to get you your rewards.

February

We'll open the pledge manager so you can give us your address, and we'll add the shipping charge based on your location.

March

The pledge manager will close and payment will be taken for shipping costs. We'll also share any add-on PDFs via the pledge manager on Backerkit.

April

Printing will take place with our usual manufacturer for Level Up A5E books in Europe.

May

Printing will finish at the manufacturer in Europe, and we will begin to ship books from the factory to the local warehouses.

June

Books will arrive in warehouses and be prepared to ship to backers.

July

Books will arrive with backers at their homes!


Customer Service

We will always try to get back to you as quickly as possible.

We will keep you updated here on the Backerkit page with updates and in the comments. You can also email us directly to admin [at] enpublishingrpg.co.uk.


Includes Backer-Exclusive Content
Once backers have collectively pledged for 300 copies of the hardcover book, we will upgrade all books to an offset print run (instead of print on demand)
Goal: 300 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!

Project Update: Fulfillment Update Feb 3: USA 90%+ Shipped

Hello, denizens of the Purple Planet!

USA backers are 90%+ shipped as of Friday afternoon! The last few pledges should go out today/tomorrow, then we anticipate the USA being "as complete as we can get."

If you are a US address still waiting on a tracking number, please triple-check that your pledge manager survey is completed and paid. We do still have a number of incomplete surveys and we're about to bump up against those!

For international backers, the bulk shipments are en route. We expect Canada to fulfill first, followed by EU/UK and AUS/NZ. Customs clearance timing is always variable...sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. As soon as we get confirmation that the Canada bulk delivery is through customs and on the way to the fulfillment center, we will let you know!

Project Update: The Steam Wars Have Begun! [Backer Manuscript Preview Download Part1]

Hello Rig Crew!

Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars is now live and funding on Crowdfunding by BackerKit!

In Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, your player characters are the crewmembers of a war rig, venturing into battles against people from far off countries, aligned to ideals different than their own, and trying to preserve their peace, their way of life, or their rich deposits of a new, bizarre energy source: condensed coal. Your characters — the crewmembers of these war rigs — are as likely to be enlisted crooks as they are commissioned officers; gung-ho patriots as common as conscripted people from the imperial powers’ colonies. They fight because they have to. But in the fear and fog of battle, bonds form, friendships and rivalries grow, and legends are made.

Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars takes place outside the Trinity Continuum's "Alpha" timeline -- the worlds explored from Aegis to Æon -- taking place in a parallel reality, setting the stage for new adventures and discoveries.

Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars contains:
  • A complete setting based on the acclaimed graphic novel Steam Wars with writing by Larry Blamire.
  • Detailed rules on piloting, managing, and fighting massive coal-powered war rigs in a parallel 19th century.
  • Six different roles you can perform on a steam rig, along with more than half a dozen Alliances involving in the Second Steam War that you can fight, ally with, or sabotage.
  • Storyguide advice, secrets, hooks, and plots, to enable you to start your game of Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars 



My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this fun new project - Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, the latest setting expansion for the Trinity Continuum tabletop roleplaying game. This one's a little different than previous expansions and games, however - it exists in it's own divergent reality and is not dependant on the Trinity Continuum Core Rulebook to play. All of the rules you need to run a game of TC: Steam Wars are contained within this book, which uses Onyx Path's Storypath Ultra system.
 
I’ll be updating the campaign as we go, sharing the draft mansucript previews, answering questions, and providing support wherever needed as best I can.


I’ll note that I’m not part of the creative team on this project – so I won’t be able to immediately answer some of the more intricate rules or design inquiries – but having me manage this Crowdfunding campaign allows the Trniity Continuum crew to keep their focus on the awesome projects that they’ve got in the works.

That said, feel free to make me your point person for any questions or issues you may have. I'll make sure to dig up answers as quickly as possible and clear up any issues that arise. Mostly, I'm just looking forward to an exciting ride along with all of you on this project.

Our comment section is for all members of this community – united by our shared desire to see this project fund and develop – to cheerlead the project and figure out how best to spread the word about what we’re building here. If you’ve started a thread on whatever social media platform exists today or a Discord conversation about the game or this campaign – let me know about it so we can share that info. If you’ve discussed the game on a blog or podcast, let’s hear about it! If you’ve got funny ideas for social media hashtags, well we can do those too!

I will also be the person who gets to share the updates and previews with you! As noted on the main page and in the pledge descriptions, I also get to share an exciting treat – The TC: Steam Wars Draft Manuscript previews, so you can start reading the book immediately! Scroll down to the bottom of this post on the website to see the first BACKERS-ONLY update for a download link.

So, welcome to Crowdfunding by BackerKit! Welcome to a brand new direction for the Trnity Continuum! Now let's start up the generators and get some power to this machine!



Some quick things to note before we get into the manuscript.

Shipping Costs will be Collected in the Pledge Manager

First up, it's amazingly expensive to ship, especially from Onyx Path's home base in the US. And that's as of today - we're all in the dark about how things will look in 2 years. We get that, but there's not much we can do at this time. Onyx Path is in a difficult space where the company is big enough that they're not saving money by fulfilling out of Rich's garage, but small enough that they haven't been able to set up ongoing international partners to handle portions of the fulfillment. So we are where we are - for now.

The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front that international shipping will likely be expensive (see our projections on the main page) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you live outside the US and aren't sure you want the hardcover or other physical items, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.



Draft Manuscript Previews

Over the course of the next 4 weeks, backers will receive the entire current draft manuscript for Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, but it's not going to come to you all in one go. The previews will come out in bite-sized sections throughout the campaign. This helps me seem interesting over the next 30 days, but it's more about guiding the conversation and helping steer feedback for the developers.

Because they want your feedback! These manuscript previews are of the current draft manuscript – the document in its latest, approved form. This may not be the final form after editing and any additional development, but you can consider it about 95% finished, so keep that in mind.

In fact, you can help guide the team through the next stages of development by providing feedback on these manuscript previews! The Onyx Path team has set up a special Feedback Form just for campaign backers for this very purpose: <Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars Feedback Form>


You can use this Feedback Form to shrea your thoughts directly with the TC: Steam Wars developers and help guide them through the next rounds of development and editing.


DRAFT MANUSCRIPT PREVIEWS - BACKERS ONLY

Remember, thanks to BackerKit magic, these download links are visible to Backers only - you must be logged in and reading this on the website to have access to the manuscript preview links. So, if you're reading this via e-mail, click that "Reply to this Update" or "Learn More" button on the bottom and I'll see you below this title treatment.

Project Update: Fulfillment Update 1/24: EU/UK 99% complete

Hello everyone,

Good news on Grimtooth's Traps fulfillment. The USA and Canada were already 99%+ fulfilled, and EU/UK is now in the same status. We hope you are enjoying your books!

In general, if you're a backer in any of those regions and have not received a tracking number and/or your book, please triple-check your pledge survey, then contact us if there is an issue.

For our friends in AUS/NZ, the boat is on the water! As soon as it lands we will let you know.

While we have you, consider backing our current crowdfunding! Terror From The UnderDeep is our 5E boxed adventure featuring giants, cultists, kuo-toa, a dracolich, and an evil kraken overlord. Backers get a huge stack of stretch goals, and starting next week, backers can submit their own delves. Early-backer discounts of 10-25% are still live depending on your bundle choice.

We'll throw some of the cover art into this update. Terror From the UnderDeep looks amazing and will appeal to any old-school gamer. (Some of you may even catch the OG inspirations!)
