Project Update: May 2026 Monthly Update
Hello Lightbringers,
Welcome to our first regular monthly update.
As a reminder, I'll send these updates out every month to let you know where we sit. We're still in the earliest stages of this post-campaign, where projects make incremental movements along the progress path. A lot of months will be pretty similar, just a quick note to let you know that the Onyx Path team is still working on it. Any time we have a new reward or something of interest to share, I'll include that as well.
Welcome to our first regular monthly update.
As a reminder, I'll send these updates out every month to let you know where we sit. We're still in the earliest stages of this post-campaign, where projects make incremental movements along the progress path. A lot of months will be pretty similar, just a quick note to let you know that the Onyx Path team is still working on it. Any time we have a new reward or something of interest to share, I'll include that as well.
At the end of each month, I'll include a summary of our rewards and their current status (they'll either be delivered or marked as still pending, possibly with additional details if I know more). I'll also list any relevant Update posts, in case you want to go back and check into something.
Each month, I'll list our "Pending" rewards and our "Distributed" rewards. We'll track the project status of our pending rewards by filling in the stage dots, and I'll note which update (and include a link) with each delivered reward, in case you want to go back and re-read the relevant update for more information. If any of these rewards were on your pledge list, you can access download codes in your BackerKit Digital Rewards page. And once they've been added to your DriveThruRPG library, you can access them through your DTRPG digital library at any time.
Let's dive in!
Pending Projects
Here's our project's "character sheet" - I'll fill in the dots as things move through the progress track and stages are completed. The editing and development teams used your feedback on the draft manuscripts during the campaign to get the "almost final" draft set up so that the team can begin working with the Art Director to figure out the art needs for the project. We're still a bit away from artists getting assigned specific pieces, but this is where they figure out how many and where the illustrations will go, and then the developer figures out what the subjects should be. After that, they'll start looking at artists availability and schedules.
While that work is happening on our main books, our Stretch Goal adventure, the Advent of Silt, has moved into Redlines. Writers have turned in their first drafts, and now the developer is sending feedback and they'll hammer it back and forth until the manuscript is in final draft form and goes to live in the hands of the developer.
We'll note the progress each month in an updated chart.
