Project Update: June 2026 Update - Reward Distribution - ALCHEMICALS: FORGED BY THE MACHINE GOD Backer PDF

Hello Forged Friends,

I know we just posted our update for May, but I'm coming to you super early in June because I've got great news!

It's time for our Backer PDF to go out!!

First, a quick reminder about Onyx Path's Virtual Convention, which starts tomorrow.


Running FRIDAY JUNE 5 to SUNDAY JUNE 7, all panels will be streaming on Onyx Path's Twitch channel and Actual Plays will be streaming at Plastic Age Plays channel

If you want information on current and possible future Exalted projects, I'd suggest checking out:

  • What's Up with Onyx Path on Saturday June 6 at Noon EDT
  • The Exalted Panel on Saturday June 6 at 6:00 PM EDT
  • Ask Us Anything Panel on Sunday June 7 at 2:00 PM EDT

Somewhere in there, Rich will reveal what the end of the year crowdfunder for Exalted will be. I can't wait - I'm as excited as anyone to find out!

Reward Distribution: ALCHEMICALS: FORGED BY THE MACHINE GOD Backer PDF


There is a world beyond Creation, a world alive with the endless motion of titanic machinery. This is Autochthonia, the Realm of Brass and Shadows, the world that is the living body of the Machine God. The Alchemical Exalted are the Chosen of the Machine God, biomechanical demigods forged from divine metal and heroic souls. The Realm of Brass and Shadows is unforgiving, and the Eight Nations find themselves faced with many challenges: cataclysmic upheavals of Autochthon's world-machinery, incursions of gruesome techno-organic gremlins, and the ever-present threats to their livelihoods.

Alchemicals: Forged by the Machine God is an expansino for the Exalted Third Edition tabletop roleplaying game. It provides a detailed look at Autochthonia, an entire world of industrial machinery and impossibly technology that exists within Autochthon's body. The book also provides an extensive panoply of Alchemical Charms, along with new martial-arts styles, sorcerous spells and initiations, and Autochthonian technology and artifacts.


REWARD DISTRIBUTION

If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your ALCHEMICALS: FORGED BY THE MACHINE GOD
Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG 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 DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php


The redemption codes will come over the next 24 hours. You'll receive an e-mail if you have this reward in your rewards list, sending you to the Digital Rewards page on your Pledge Manager. The Digital Rewards page will have redemption links to add the PDF files to your DriveThru cart at $0 cost.

You may need to click the links two or three times to get them to add to the cart properly. In my experience, the first click ends up getting me to login to my DTRPG cart and I have to click the redemption link a second time while my cart is open to properly add it (in a new tab, usually). Just keep trying, you'll get there!

Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24 hours if it is on your expected list of rewards.

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit accounthttps://alchemicals.backerkit.com/ and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.


If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://alchemicals.backerkit.com/




BACKER PDF VERSION

This is the first version of the ALCHEMICALS: FORGED BY THE MACHINE GOD to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, 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 Alchemicals Feedback Form!

Onyx Path will be launching a special Forged Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here:  <Alchemicals Feedback Form>


Share your feedback directly with the developers using this form to help guide them through the steps to finalize the PDF.

They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.

Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!

They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.

Please check that the Backer Name listed for you in the book matches your submission. 

If there are any issues with your Backer Name as listed, please use the form to communicate the issue with the team. After the Feedback Form closes in one week, they won't be adjusting the Backer Name list any further, so please double check.

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 DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.

You've already made the book a reality with your Crowdfunding support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.

SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!

Rewards Still Pending


The Backer PDF for our main reward is now out to you, and your feedback over the next week will help the team finalize the file for PDF release and the eventual print run. Our Stretch Goal-built companion has also moved forward, and the manuscript is now off for review and approvals before moving to the next stage of development and editing.
