Don’t worry, I’m OK! I haven’t gotten all scaly or come down with something awful.

In fact, and much better sounding, I’m referring to our incredible new Kickstarter for the scaled dragons of Scion: Dragon and scaly tentacles and other appendages of Scion: Masks of the Mythos!

We funded in 66 minutes, and just kept going and right now we’ve achieved 13 Stretch Goals. All within the first week of the campaign. Even better has been the fantastic comments on the KS page as well as social media as folks have been reading excerpts and chapters from both books.

I’m not just talking about everybody talking about how good both books are so far, although they are, but I’m really thrilled by folks describing why they are interested. I love dragons! is great to hear, as well as folks who continue that line of thought and start describing all their favorite dragons and how they fit into Scion: Dragon.

Dragons from myth, dragons from books, and anime, and other popular culture. Dragons from other game lines – not just fantasy games – and how they could appear in Scion: Dragon.

For Masks of the Mythos, I’m loving people’s reactions to our take on the Mythos, and whether they should “dial up” the horror towards our expectations of the original stories or go with more of a weird fantasy feel, or even a really weird tilt like something from David Lynch.

Basically, I’m loving the imaginations on display here and the way these two books seem to activate them. Or at least rev them up!

Now, not every comment is a rave. As the actual text is revealed, there are going to be our usual number of eagle-eyed backers catching both errors and things they think are errors, and some folks have expectations with the material that they’re not seeing. Yet.

Comments and discussions about these issues are not only things we expect, but we welcome them. That’s why this KS, like our others nowadays, features the text and even includes a nice feedback form – this is one more chance for our KS backers to be more involved in our creation process – every backer gets to comment now using that form, if they are so inclined. Then backers can also help us out later with the errata phase of the PDF.

And please, this is labeled as not the final text, we say it’s not the final text, so please believe us: it’s not final text and we really do expect to tweak things. It’s how we are finding a way to have more back and forth with our backers, so we are absolutely not presenting it as a done deal. Comment away!

Next up, and as hard as it is for me to believe I got through another year (especially 2020): today is my birthday!

And there was much rejoicing.

In honor of the dubious honor of being even older, I’d like to do a little Hobbit-inspired thing for everybody. Today, breaking with our Wednesday Go On Sale tradition for new releases, I’m going to give you folks the link to the very first published project that is all about my long, long, running fantasy setting: The Crossroads Continent!

Here’s the link for Peoples of The Crossroads Continent Advance PDF, now on sale on DTRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/344601/Peoples-of-the-Crossroads-Continent

Since it’s an Advance PDF, there is also an errata sheet. It would be really helpful for us to get notes back from you all if you can spare the time.

If you’ve seen Peoples of The Crossroads Continent on our Progress Report here these last couple of months, and have asked just what is this PoCRC thing anyway, here’s a bit of explanation.

When I first started playing and then running TTRPGs, it was before D&D came in hardback book form. We played with the original little booklets, and we liked it!

No, seriously, we really did love it. Those fifteen years running the setting that was The Crossroads Continent, and playing in hundreds more games run by other folks, really prepped me for joining White Wolf and helping to create all of those legendary games.

Yet even when nostrils deep in White Wolf and Onyx Path games, I still tinkered and wrote more and deeper lore for CRC. It is very much a reflection of all the media I’ve absorbed and loved over the years. LoTR meets Star Wars meets GoT meets Seven Samurai meets every damn version of Dracula but mostly the Tomb of Dracula comic book.

Master and Commander, Howard the Duck, Excalibur, the death of Jean Grey, The Silmarillion, Oliver’s Army, ElfQuest, The Talking Heads, The Black Company…I could and do go on.

Kids, we’re talking a real Fantasy Heart-Breaker here! (Although not a Rose Bailey Fantasy Heartbreaker, all rights reserved).

Basically, yes, it is a kitchen-sink setting of everything I’ve enjoyed, and a fair bit I didn’t, all connected and folded over and hammered into a world. It’s a world where actions have consequences, but not always the outcome you hoped and aimed for. Yet sometimes you can make that difference (like maybe one time in twenty?), and the odds go up if you have a group working with you. No matter how much they get on your nerves.

What People of The Crossroads Continent does is to provide the very first steps into that world, with a look at the various peoples you can play that populate the CRC. Each description also includes several locations of interest – just briefly, but I hope, flavorfully.

I’d love to hear what you think. Would you like to know more? Are the peoples included of use to you even out of the CRC setting? Please do check it out and let me know!

Couple of Notes From the Monday Meeting:

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to the Jackie’s Dreaming Bundle of Holding for the late Jackie Cassada and her partner Nicky Rea which has delivered over $41K to help defray medical and house expenses.

We also discussed the ongoing current sales; one at IPR for C20 and Wr20 Deluxe books, and the other at DTRPG (well, DriveThruComics) featuring the four “Making Of” books we’ve done. Links to those are below in the Sales area of the Blurbs!

We’re being told that DTRPG is working with their PoD printer on a couple of changes, with the most difficult to work around being the situation on shipping to the EU from the UK and vice versa. There are going to be potential VAT and customs taxes that folks didn’t need to deal with previously now being levied on PoDs being shipped – so be aware if you are in the affected areas!

This week we start the first of our Storypath Tasty Bits: smaller releases of subjects we think will add to everyone’s enjoyment of a game line, but which we haven’t a place for in our regular releases. Our premiere is a character write-up for Annie X, a Scion 1e character we didn’t yet write up for Scion 2e, but who we pictured in the art!

So on Wednesday you can pick up her 2e write-up!

As we’ve done all through the pandemic time frame, we’re having another Developer Town Hall next week with two sessions on Tuesday, February the 2nd. These have proven to be a great way to maintain an ongoing open way to communicate and share concerns – both business and societal. As always, I’ll be glad to bring any questions or comments to the assembled developers if you pass them on to me.

We barely have a chance to take a breath and then the next day, Wednesday, Feb the 3rd is Onyx Path Summit 2021!

This is going to be extremely different than those we have had in previous years. It’s all virtual, for one. And since part of what we did in previous years was to get together face-to-face since we’re a virtual office anyway – this OP Summit ain’t gonna help in that area. But we do hope that maybe, just maybe, we’ll all find that our world-wide situation improves this year so that we can have another Summit all together before the year is out.

But we do need to have a meeting of the minds as our efforts to pull through last year are bearing fruit, so together in little face boxes we will meet!

If you have any thought on where you’d like us to go next as a company, and yes, we are looking at the results of last year’s Survey as we discuss these ideas, please do let me know. We value having you along as we create and explore our:

Many Worlds, One Path!

Virtual TableTop!

Two Virtual Tabletop adventures: the Gauntlet of Spiragos and the Dagger of Spiragos for Scarred Lands on Astral TableTop and DriveThruRPG!

Scars of the Divine War, which ended less than 200 years ago, have still not healed. One such scar is the Chasm of Flies, a rent in the earth created when the titan Spiragos the Ambusher was smote down by one of the young gods, Vangal the Ravager. Now, the Chasm is inhabited by spider-eye goblins and their spider allies, but it is also thought to be the resting place of powerful artifacts from that elder age.

Astral TableTop is the easiest way to play any tabletop RPG online, free. Astral already supports popular systems like D&D and Pathfinder, and Astral can support virtually any tabletop roleplaying game. Get started quickly with built-in support for most popular game systems.

Today’s Reason to Celebrate!

Like I mentioned above, in no self-serving way at all, today is my birthday. Yay! But, in the interest of spreading the love today: this is also the birthday of Lisa Stevens, CEO of Paizo. In fact, as far as we can determine, we seem to have been born at the same time on Jan 25th! Lisa has the golden touch of having been involved with the early White Wolf Magazine, Lion Rampant the game company, the creation and start of White Wolf Game Studio and Vampire: The Masquerade, the creation and massive success of Magic: The Gathering, and the creation and dramatic rise and success of Paizo and Pathfinder. None too shabby, fellow Aquarian!
