Latest Updates from Our Project:

July '22 - Early Update, Aether Launched
over 1 year ago – Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 01:51:15 AM

What ho, Adventurers,

Our July monthly update is coming out a week early! I want to tell you about the latest Trinity Continuum project (see more below), but I'm also planning on taking a vacation next week, so getting a bit ahead before I get too far behind, if that make sense!

Vacation outfit activated!

Trinity Continuum: Aether has launched!

What was Safari Jack up to before the Trinity Continuum: Adventure! timeline? It's time to find out...

>>> Join us now, Aethernauts! <<<

Trinity Continuum: Aether is a game of steampunk adventure, exploration, and mystery set in 1895 in the Trinity Continuum. In the decade prior, Nikola Tesla identified and learned to harness Aether, an energy source capable of spinning new realities or unwinding the effect to restore reality. Now, Aether users dot the globe, silently spinning and unwinding with ease while Victorian-era society goes about unaware of the dangerous experiments taking place in underground laboratories, dark alleys, and foreign worlds.

In Trinity Continuum: Aether, you play as Squires, Gogs, or even Magogs. Squires are individuals capable of wielding Aether devices to spin reality. Gogs have learned to use Aether to enact a temporary change, either in themselves or others. Magogs have stepped outside the bounds of humanity, enacting permanent physical changes, and are able to use Aether without the aid of a device or prompt.

In this game, you can join the war to stop the Martian invasion; hunt down monsters who use Aether for nefarious purposes; use Aether to spin fantastic new realities; protect reality by unwinding dangerous Aether events; and explore strange places and lost civilizations.

The primary purpose behind this Kickstarter campaign is to enable Onyx Path to create a hardcover edition of the Trinity Continuum: Aether book compatible with the Trinity Continuum core rulebook and setting expansions (such as Trinity Continuum: Æon and Trinity Continuum: Aberrant). Your support will allow Onyx Path to produce a fully-developed PDF and hardcover edition for this setting. With your help we create a 7″ x 10″ hardcover with an evocative, action-packed cover image and a Trinity Continuum trade dress.

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Alt text: Our main book is in layout; the jumpstart is in art direction, the companion is in editing, and the Thrilling Tales! book has been renamed and is now in post-approval development.

The Trinity Continuum team is conducting an orchestra, with one section now lining up future projects, and the Adventure! team hard at work moving our rewards along the progress track. As these supplements progress, they take on their final forms and assume their eventual titles - note that the jumpstart is now entitled Stamped of Justice!, and Thrilling Tales! has been renamed Danger Skies!

June '22: OPP CON Trinity Continuum & Storypath Panels, Aether Coming Soon, Monthly Update
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 07:43:55 PM

What ho, Adventurers,

Trying a little something with the update titles - a little less utilitarian, a little more about the contents of our monthly update. No big announcements about rewards, but more info about the Trinity Continuum, including current and upcoming projects, as well as a dive into the engine that powers the whole thing, the Storypath system!

As you may remember, a few weeks back Onyx Path held their third annual Virtual Gaming Convention. I've got two cool panels to share with you from that weekend.

Onyx Path Con 2022: Trinity Continuum Panel

The Trinity Continuum panel features Content Lead Ian A.A. Watson, Executive Producer Eddy Webb, and writers Vera Vartanian and Steve Kenson, and takes a look at current and upcoming projects in the Trinity Continuum. 

The whole panel is worth checking out, but I'm super excited about the next project coming up - Trinity Continuum: Aether. This will be our next crowdfunding campaign, and I'm happy to share a little more info about this intriguing setting for the Continuum.

TRINITY CONTINUUM: AETHER

Call it what it was: hubris, arrogance, a collective delusion of grandeur… We thought we were the only beings in this universe and that with our grand intellect and glorious empires we were the best humanity would ever be.

And then came Aether.

And along with Aether came mental expansion, form mutation, matter warping, time manipulation, and the discovery of new worlds, new peoples, new and terrifying possibilities.

And with Aether came the doom of humankind. Aether brought the Martians to our world, and the unravelling of the reality we knew.

Aether is a full rule and setting expansion for the Trinity Continuum line of games, set in the year 1895, at a time when humanity has conquered its own world, and now seeks to conquer the limitations imposed on us by the laws of all the sciences known to our kind. Inside, you will find:

  • A complete Victorian-era setting and Paths for characters to embark upon within it.
  • Aether powers allowing you to manipulate fate, space, time, and even your own bodies in wondrous and horrifying ways.
  • Societies both lawful and rogue, looking to leave their imprint on the world, from those in league with Mina Harker to those affiliated with Dr. Jekyll and Moriarty.
  • Storyguide advice, secrets, hooks, and plots, to enable you to start your game of Aether off with a bang.

Onyx Path Con 2022: STORYPATH PANEL

Pulling back from a Trinity Continuum focus, this panel features Danielle Lauzon, Lauren Roy, Monica Spec, and Michele Masala talking about the engine that was created for the Trinity Continuum and has gone on to power several of Onyx Path's games. If you're interested in some of the more crunchy parts of the game, this is a great discussion worth checking out!

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Artwork is coming in for our main book, and the supplements have moved forward, with the jumpstart in post-editing development, the companion in editing, and the scenario book in post-approval development.

As the artwork for Adventure! comes in ahead of layout, our Stretch Goal supplements continue to move forward. Hopefully that means they'll be coming out rather quickly after we receive the core book. Fingers crossed we'll start to see some preview artwork soon!

March 2022 Update
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 31, 2022 at 03:55:32 AM

What ho, Adventurers!

We're finishing up March, so time for our month end update. I don't have any big news this month, but it's important to keep on top of it, and we can track our projects as they slowly slide across our chart. So, let's dig in!

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Alt text: Our core book is in art direction, the jumpstart is now in post-editing development, the companion is finishing up final drafts, and the scenario book is in first draft stage.

While our main book is in art direction and gathering the graphics before starting layout, there's been progress on our Stretch Goals. The Trinity Continuum: Adventure! Jumpstart now has a title - Stampede of Justice! Eddy's note: It's back from editing, and I’ve slung it over to Hiromi for development.

While our companion book, the Adventure! Addendum, is finishing up the final manuscript draft, our scenario book, Thrilling Tales, is in the first draft stage. Eddy's quick note on Thrilling Tales: The stretch goal turning our fantastic radio drama into a playable adventure! It’s getting into gear.

ONYX PATH PROJECT TRACKING

Rich has modified the way he's running the Project Tracking this year. At the end of each month, Onyx Path will be posting an update showing the current status of all of their projects and where each sits on the project tracking chart. In the weekly Monday Meeting Notes blogs, Rich will note any projects that have changed status, sometimes with developer notes, since the big monthly summary.

You can find February's complete project summary <here> and the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>.

I will continue to post an update each month until those final Stretch Goal rewards have gone out.

The They Came From... tabletop roleplaying games take your favorite movies, television shows, and pop culture touchstones and turn them into action-packed and wise-cracking opportunities to tell your own versions of these cinematic stories.

With this campaign, Onyx Path is ready to introduce TWO new entries enabling you to take on quest-filled fantasy adventure stories with They Came from the Cyclops's Cave! and thrilling tales of world-saving espionage with They Came from [CLASSIFIED]!
