Our main reward is currently in layout and moving along, but we've still got a bit before it's finished up and proofed and approved to release as a backer PDF. But that means I've got lots of preview artwork to share!
Exalted: Essence Storyteller's Guide available for Pre-Order
If you missed out on our crowdfunding campaign for the Exalted: Essence Storyteller's Guide - the complimentary book to our main project from this very campaign - it's now available to pre-order. You can Pre-Order the PDF, hardcover edition + PDF combo, or the deluxe edition + PDF combo. Regardless of your pre-order format of choice, you will receive the draft manuscript as part of your pre-order so you'll be able to read the book while we wait for it to work it's way through the production schedule.
Despite some pretty severe technical challenges, the layout is moving along and only a handful of chapters remain before the book goes in to proofing. And speaking of the proofing phase, our two novellas have jumped ahead dramatically and are now in that very stage. And more great news, the Essence Enhanced supplement that we unlocked via Stretch Goal achievements is finishing up in the writer's draft stage before moving on to the developer to tie it all together.
Those bodes well for August and September updates; hopefully we've got our main book and some novellas to read soon!

Onyx Path Discussion Channels
If you've got questions about the rules or setting, or just want to discuss this game with other fans (as well as the Onyx Path writers and developers!), you can check out these Onyx Path discussion zones:
The rats and mice of the Realms of Pugmire make their homes in the margins of other cities. These connect to the Underneath, a vast maze of warrens, tunnels, caves, and other hidden places, much of which lies unknown and unexplored. It’s a dangerous place full of unexplained phenomena and terrifying creatures. But it is also full of wonders of ages past and the thrill of discovery.
Lair of the Rat Kings is a full campaign sourcebook detailing a new and exciting part of the realms of Pugmire: The Underneath. It contains not only everything you need to know about the Underneath, but also has information about making rodent player characters (along with their psychic powers), advice on how to run a subterranean campaign, a complete adventure, and a massive number of locations, set pieces, and encounters.
