Project Update: May 2026 - Final Reward Distribution! Scion: God Jumpstart Backer PDF

Hello Scions,

Our Apotheosis began long ago, but is now complete. The final reward from this campaign is ready to go out to backers...

Reward Distribution: SCION: GOD JUMPSTART


A fledgling group of Gods (the player characters) are enjoying creating their new home among the stars when a viscious titanspawn rips through reality and begins rampaging through the Gods' Realm. When the dust settles, they find the titanspawn didn't arrive on its own. At its feed is a dead Demigod. When the Gods investigate, they discover the Demigod was on a reckless quiest to find a powerful artifact - a quest she only narrowly failed. The Gods learn that it lies in Tehom, the Underworld of the Ilhm.

In short order, the Gods are besit by other Demigods, each representing a different patheon and proclaiming that the Relic belongs to them. To sort out whom the item belongs to, they'll have to retrieve it to uncover its secrets, a trek that will take them into the deadly Realm of Tehom, and if they fail, they mind themselves forever lost it its bowels.

This jumpstart adventure includes everything you need to play a full game of Scion: God

  • A complete story that can be played in one long session or over the course of several games.
  • Five ready-to-play God characters
  • Condensed Storypath core and Scion: God rules to help Storyguides run an epic adventure. 


REWARD DISTRIBUTION

If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Scion: God Jumpstart 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



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 Pledge Manager page.

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://scion-god.backerkit.com



BACKER PDF VERSION

This is the first version of To Tehom and Back: A Jumpstart for Scion: God Second Edition 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 Scion: God Jumpstart Feedback Form!

Onyx Path will be launching a special To Tehom and Back Feedback Form!, which you will be able to access here: <Scion: God Jumpstart Feedback Form Link>


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 - much like Divine Inspiration, which has been finalized and is available to re-download in your DTRPG digital library.

You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter 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!

ALL REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS


 

FINAL REWARD LINK DISTIRBUTED


That's our final reward link out to backers, and therefore my final update for this project. 

Depending on your communication preferences with DriveThru, you will get an e-mail once To Tehom and Back: A Scion: God Jumpstart has been finalized with your feedback and an updated version is available to download from DriveThruRPG. Again, that won't be a new reward or new link sent out via BackerKit - once it's finalized, the file will just be updated on the DriveThru platforms and you'll be able to download the latest version at your convenience.

PLEDGE MANAGER

With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for another 3 months - until August 3, 2026 in fact. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until the start of August. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThru library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.

At that point, any Backerkit pages with incomplete surveys or unpaid pledges will be closed and considered completely fulfilled. Unlikely that applies to anyone reading this, but if this is the first time you've paid attention to an update and have never visited your BackerKit page, you may want to double check to get your download codes.

Once again, 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://scion-god.backerkit.com

Thank you for coming with me and hanging in for this long journey! It's been an amazing time, full of ups and downs, but at last we've come to our well-earned conclusion!
