I know it's just been a week since our last monthly update, but I'm not gonna wait a minute longer for this one, because...
It's time for our Backer PDF to go out!!
Reward Distribution: EXALTED: ESSENCE PLAYER'S GUIDE Backer PDF
A Collection of New Player Material for Exalted: Essence
The Exalted: Essence Player’s Guide is an expansion for Exalted: Essence.

Each of the 10 playable Exalt types has a rich chapter full of roleplaying advice and new mechanical content for players to enjoy.
Jump in and learn what it means to be Exalted.
Ten chapters each dedicated entirely to one Exalt type each, packed with roleplaying advice, all-new Exalt milestones, and dozens of new Charms.
Two brand-new Exigents, each with a complete Charm set.
Expanded Exalt-specific rules for unique features such as Sidereal destinies and Lunar shapeshifting.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your EXALTED: ESSENCE PLAYER'S GUIDE 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 24hours 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 account: https://exalted-essence-players-guide.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://exalted-essence-players-guide.backerkit.com/
This is the first version of the EXALTED: ESSENCE PLAYER'S GUIDE 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 XSPGFeedback Form!
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.
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
Obviously no major changes in one week. I'm leaving our main reward in "proofing" because now it's our turn to review the backer PDF and submit our notes via the Feedback Form - one last bit of proofing in our hands. In the next update I'll have that dot filled in!
I will continue to post regular updates every month until the final reward has gone out.
Remember: You can use the links at the bottom of this e-mail to unsubscribe from updates or Manage your notification settings. These status updates are available on the campaign page for you to review at any time.

Curseborne Covenant is the next major expansion for Curseborne, Onyx Path Publishing's tabletop roleplaying game of contemporary urban horror using the Storypath Ultra system.
This book explores what comes next for those lucky Accursed who managed to weather their initial storm of Damnation, and where they go from here. Curseborne Covenant introduces a new group for the characters to ally themselves with: the conspiracy. These formidable factions eat away at the fabric of Accursed community, a secret wrapped within a secret.
