No big changes. I'll continue to monitor and ask about our pending Stretch Goal projects and share info with you once a month. It's not very exciting, but I want you to know that I'm at least paying attention and checking in with the Onyx Path crew and reading Rich's Monday Meeting Notes so nothing will be forgotten or sneak by.
One big source for information is coming soon...
It's that time of year again! Onyx Path will be running their virtual gaming convention in a few weeks - FRIDAY JUNE 5 to SUNDAY JUNE 7.

We're still in a print/production holding pattern, circling overhead as the Onyx Path team figures out how to fill in their print schedule slots. They've successfully completed production and fulfillment with their new printing and distribution partners, so there's a template to apply as they go forward, and a few projects have already joined the queue, but not this one just yet.
So, I'll continue to monitor and ask about our pending Stretch Goal projects and share info with you once a month.

So let's get to it! Pretty much same as last month:

Quick Summary for the month - no major changes or updates since last month.
Onyx Path has completed their first print job with their new print partner and started shipping that book out to backers. Now that they've gone from A to Z in the process, they're starting to sort out their manufacturing backlog and building a schedule to work through the projects that need to get printed and shipped out to backers. They're not rushing, trying to do it all right and not make hasty mistakes, so we'll probably have to continue to be patient for a while.
I'll continue to check their updates and info and share any new information in our regular monthly update. The Realms of Pugmire section of Onyx Path's Discord remains lively, with participation of writers and developers. Perhaps we'll get more info at this year's Onyx Path Con...

Let's get to our regular review.
Pending Rewards
Our hardcover book rewards are still in Onyx Path's catch-up print queue. The first book with their new printing partner has gone fairly smoothly, so now the Onyx Path crew knows the ins-and-outs of that process. Of course, there seems to be a new layer of grumpy tariffs to navigate, so it remains to be seen when these will be added to the print schedule, but the team is working on sorting that all out.

Ready to start another year of monthly updates? I'm really hoping we can get some of these dots filled in over these next months!
The biggest hurdle has been print production. Onyx Path had some real challenges with previous print partners over the past 18-months and had to investigate new avenues for production. They've found a new partner and are currently in the process of printing their first book with them now. It seems to be going well, and the foundation is being built to get their print schedule slowly lined up beyond this first test.
So, it'll be a while before we know how the print schedule shakes out and when we can start planning for distribution of our physical rewaerds (book, screen, and the rest). I'll keep you updated as new info comes out.
Lots of rewards still to come. I hope we get lots of treats in 2026 and it's a great year for curious cats!

Onyx Path's social media has just let me know that today is Top Dog Eddy Webb's birthday, so shout out to him and a perfect day for our final Realms of Pugmire update for the year.
I'm taking a quick break in the middle of my holiday vacation to get out our last update of 2025. Onyx Path is in the process of printing their first book with a new printing partner, and hopefully it goes smoothly and they can spend 2026 catching up on some of the print production that has been so challenging over the past 16 months. I'll continue to track their progress and share new information in our monthly updates throughout 2026.
Lots of rewards still to come. I hope we get lots of treats in 2026 and it's a great year for dogs and cats!

Obviously, getting print production back on track and moving forward will be the big focus for Onyx Path and our reward updates in the new year. I'll continue to monitor Onyx Path's website and Discord and share any new details that emerge in our next update.

Trust your instincts. Reward loyalty. Respect an honest duel. And always, always pounce on the minions of the Unseen.
The Age of Man is long over. Cats – uplifted from our clever feline companions to use tools and language – now rule the world. In the Monarchies of Mau, cats study relics the Old Ones left behind to create new wonders, expand their understanding of the world, and combat the monsters and minions of the Unseen that threaten catkind. Curious cats explore ruins and set sail on the Acid Sea, or participate in games of intrigue against other houses, the dogs of Pugmire, and other rival species.
The world is full of mysteries and dangers, which excellent cats are eager to face.
Launching soon!
Will you be an excellent cat?
The latest episode of Onyx Path's weekly podcast features Eddy, Danielle, and Dixie talking about this book (along with a few other topics!)
