Work continues on our book. The latest Monday Meeting blog notes that artwork is delivering, so hopefully we'll see Monster Kingdoms enter the layout phase within the next handful of updates. Exciting. I'll share any artwork that sneaks out before then.
Pending Projects
No big changes since last month, lots of dots to fill in, but I'll continue to monitor Onyx Path's weekly and monthly posts to keep on top of what's up.

No big updates for this month. Artists are working on illustrations for our book. Rumor has it that artwork may be turning up by the end of summer, so hopefully we'll get some sneak peeks to share in the early autumn! Anything that slips out will make it into my monthly updates!
In the meantime, you can learn more about the current and future plans for Monster Kingdoms from Onyx Path's recent Online Gaming Convention!
OK, the jumpstart hasn't quite moved to art direction yet, but maybe once the artists are all underway the team can start the prep for that one. Bit by bit, dots will fill in.

Artists are being assigned to our Monster Kingdoms corebook and things are slowly moving forward. As soon as there's any artwork to preview, I'll sneak it into my monthly update. I think they're also about to assign artwork duties for the stretch goal jumpstart, so not yet time to fill in a dot for that one, but soon!
But, if you wanna know what's really going on with Monster Kingdoms and the other Earthbane Cycle titles, I have a perfect source for you...
A great place to learn more about pending and future Earthbane Cycle projects is Onyx Path's annual Virtual Gaming Convention! In just over two weeks, Onyx Path will be running their online convention - FRIDAY JUNE 5 to SUNDAY JUNE 7.
If you want information on current and possible future Trinity Continuum projects, I'd suggest checking out:
What's Up with Onyx Path on Saturday June 6 at Noon EDT
Earthbane Cycle Panel on Saturday June 6 at 4:30 EDT
Ask Us Anything Panel on Sunday June 7 at 2:00 PM EDT
Hopefully we'll get some news about Monster Kingdoms and other related projects.

Next month I expect the Art Direction dot to start for the jumpstart.

Our main reward, the Monster Kingdoms core rules, are in final tweaks for the manuscript and starting in Art Notes in the art direction phase. Our Stretch Goal reward, the jumpstart, has advanced to the editing phase.
Pending Projects
With the main book mostly in the hands of the Art Director and Developer, the team have been able to focus on our stretch goal adventure and finished it up for turnover to the editing team. (I like calling them a team, but I think it's more about which Onyx Path person's name gets listed first in the e-mail chain.)
Anyway, incremental progress!
