Starting next week!
And…
Only for TWO WEEKS!
Yep, unlike our previous crowdfunders we are specifically doing this one FAST!
(So if you are used to a longer time to pledge, please consider using the link below to sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live so you don’t miss it!)
https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/6107ab4b-350a-4817-a4cc-3f4f5c47fcfa/landing
As the sign-up graphic up there mentions, we’re running this crowdfunder to enable backers to help us get the Curseborne Jumpstart to a traditional printer, and deliver us a traditionally printed and bound softcover that we can get into stores so that ultimately it sits on a shelf with the Curseborne core rulebook! Getting the physical book before the stores do is one benefit to backers, and so is getting whatever Stretch Goals might come out of this!
Next up, and kind of related, we’re pretty sure that the US (and other non-EU/UK) backer rewards for the Deluxe Exalted Exigents crowdfunder have started shipping! So far, the process has been a good one, and we’re really close to saying that we can start getting more rewards to our trad printers and then out to backers. Which is a great relief…but I’m still looking to really have this wrapped up and working right!
Another project we’ve been working on behind the scenes is the previously announced Scion Nexus on Demiplane! All sorts of programming challenges were hurtled, and I can show y’all some sneak peak pics we were sent by the gang at Demiplane:
And yes, it really does say that this is going live in June! Fingers crossed, and all that! It would be pretty sweet if you can use this Scion Nexus to easily fire up and keep track of your Scion games!
Scion related: the Scion Bundle of Holding ends later tonight/early tomorrow morning, so this is your last chance to get phenomenal deals on Scion projects for your tabletop gaming needs!
The link is here: https://bundleofholding.com/presents/…
And let’s not forget the Fanatical Pugmire Bundle, with a link here: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/r…
Lots of puppies, kitties and mouse-type individuals are ready for rollickin’ adventure and derring-do! Also skullduggery and literal skull digging! So check out this great chance to pick the books up!
Not to be a nag with all these reminders, but there’s also the listing for Onyx Path Virtual Game Convention Jun 5 – Jun 8, 2026 that is live at Startplaying.games! You can now create a listing for a special event and add Onyx Path Virtual Game Convention, or join an event scheduled for the weekend! Head over to Startplaying and book your OPP Con sessions today!

And join them tomorrow, Tuesday at 8pm EST as they go live with Episode 2 and go further talking about Gifts as well as some special consideration on how you can build youi own Gifts.

And hot on its heels – we are also continuing our Branch Riders series in partnership with Roll2Heal! This past Saturday, the gang from Roll2Heal got their first taste of the realms as they ventured into the Chain to stop the Steel Imperium from getting its clutches on a a stone Goliath emerging from the mysterious Fog! We had an absolute blast watching the system perform flawlessly. Roll2heal is a nonprofit that The Bodhana Group has partnered with, which uses role playing games to provide improved mental health support and camaraderie to veterans, first responders and medical personnel. Catch up on last Saturday’s episode and join us this Saturday at 10PM EST as we complete our series with a system debrief. Hear the gang’s thoughts on Branch Riders, which will surely earn Captain Inorvic’s respect and admiration. Watch jolin and of copurse like and subscribe on https://www.twitch.tv/roll2heal_table_talk
And we are fast approaching the completion of the Facilitator’s Guide for Branch Riders. This volume will be a short little book helping specifically the people who are interested in using Branch Riders for goal work in therapeutic, educational and intentional settings. We’re just adding some finishing touches and will have the next piece of Branch Riders ready for fulfillment to those specific backers and then available for sale!
