While many of us wait for Onyx Path to work through their printing backlog, there are still rewards moving forward and coming out to us.
Remember this Stretch Goal from our campaign?
It was one of four Stretch Goals we unlocked that ended up forming the outline for UNDERWORLD ADVENTURES and now it's ready to go out as a backer PDF.
Reward Distibution: THE WORLD BELOW: UNDERWORLD ADVENTURES Backer PDF
Within the World Below’s jagged tunnels, unlit depths, and crystalline caves, a brave party of heroes risks falling to the same grim fate as so many of their forebears. Or maybe, just maybe, this party will be the one to slay the great predator, discover a lake of bounties, and seize treasures for their people.
Underworld Adventures provides Storyguides and players with four complete scenarios that can be played independently or as one epic-length, interlocking campaign, played either as the same characters age and gain experience or across generations, as one group of heroes passes their torch on to the next.
Underworld Adventures includes a plethora of new random encounters, events, and phenomena, along with:
In the Roots: An adventure where our heroes must explore the settlement of Root-Home and find a means of dealing with the parasitic threat inhabiting it — or escape before they too become infected.
All That Glitters: A mystery in which our characters must ascertain why the settlement of Aden’s Slide has become a ghost town, with the ever-present threat of cannibals just around the corner.
Treasures in the Stream: An exploration in which our survivors must journey to forbidding Glowstream and resolve a conflict between the bloodthirsty haemexii and shapeshifting klo’tha.
The Well Lich: A grand slaughter where all the events until now have led us to face that most ominous of threats, the Well Lich.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your THE WORLD BELOW: UNDERWORLD ADVENTURES 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 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://the-world-below.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.
BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of Underworld Adventures 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 TWB: UNDERWORLD ADVENTURESFeedback Form!
Onyx Path will be launching a special Underworld AdventuresFeedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/SZHs2zvFoomiDFvi9
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!
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!
Pending Projects
Many, many dots to fill in as Onyx Path works through their printing backlog, and I'll continue to push for the remaining stretch goal rewards. You can get updates on the weekly changes in project status and monthly status reports from Onyx Path's website, and I'll continue to provide monthly summaries on BackerKit.

While Onyx Path is building their catch up plan for the printing backlog, work continues on Stretch Goal projects and the Earthbane Cycle game line.
The artwork is in for our Underworld Adventures supplement unlocked via Stretch Goal, and the maps are just about finished. Here's a preview of some artwork - I wouldn't be surprised if this was the cover.
With regards to the greater Eartbane Cycle line, the backer version of At The Gates has gone out to supporters from that campaign, and the edits and tweaks needed to finalize it should be completed soon so it'll be available on DriveThruRPG. Monster Kingdoms is finishing up with the artists and has begun preliminary layout. And the next book in the Cycle is now crowdfunding:
Jadestorm is an epic game of adventure, vengeance, and power. You are a Jadebearer — an inheritor of one or more Jade cinders, fragments of destroyed demonic demigods — and it is for you to decide whether you use your powers to play the role of the glorious hero or wield them to become the most notorious of villains.
Learn from your master until you can defeat him. Duel for Jade and best your rivals. Venture into the Wilds and claim unconquered fragments of the Infernal Sovereigns.
The isolated nine realms of Eos are awaiting epic heroes and wicked villains to lead them into a new era. Will you bind the world in hope or drive its people fleeing into the Wilds?
Jadestorm is a complete tabletop roleplaying game of epic tales of adventure, vengeance, and power. It includes:
A game of epic wuxia-inspired fantasy, where heroes make fantastic chained actions, command potent sorceries, and every plot feels dramatic.
A huge number of playable characters.
An alive setting encompassing nine realms and the dangerous Wilds.
I'm expecting the Underworld Adventures to go into layout before too long.

Many of us are waiting to hear about Onyx Path's catch-up print plan, eager for our World Below hardcovers. Rich talked about the challanges they've had with getting predictable printing costs and how they're working to get their backlog sorted over the next year in his lastest Monday Meeting Notes. The summary is they've got a handful of books to get into production once the current project is finished (which is still underway) and they may be doing a couple of books at a time to move through the titles, but he won't announce an order or what's in production until it's actually underway to keep expectations in check. So, there's work being done and we'll know when we see World Below going to press, but that's still some time ahead of us. The good news is they have a plan and at some point, we'll have the books in our hands.
Pending Projects
Many dots to fill in, all related to the paragraph up top. Hopefully we'll see some movement over the summer on our stretch goal projects.

Wrapping up the month of June with our regular update.
For you this month, I've got the video of the Earthbane Cycle panel from 2026's Onyx Path Online Game Convention. The team checks in on current and future projects - including the next entry under the Earthbane Cycle umbrella.
In terms of project progress, there are no big changes this month. For those digital backers, you're mostly waiting on the Underworld Adventures and Monster Cards, along with some of the regular milestone markers. Underworld Adventures is in the Art Notes phase of art direction, waiting for artists schedules to open up and contracts to be written. The others are mostly waiting for a clear moment in the schedule to get hammered out.
Those of us hardcover backers are eagerly awaiting any word of a timeline to get those books produced and delivered. I can tell you that Onyx Path switched to a new printer at the end of last year and so far they've tested out the process with one deluxe hardcover book and one standard hardcover book, and they're lining up a multi-format project next. When that's all locked and loaded, they should have a pretty good understanding of the process for each kind of project and will hopefully be able to get more detailed with their print plans. But that's all for discussion at much higher levels than me. Hopefully they'll share a road map or plans to catch up on their delayed print queue before too long. I'll pass along any info I find out.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the current and future plans for The World Below from Onyx Path's recent Online Gaming Convention!
A lot of complicated manufacturing and production pieces to lock down, and some artwork to get going on a stretch goal. Dots will get filled in, but I think we're gonna have to be patient for a bit.
