Hey Gravediggers,
T-shirt time!
REWARD DELIVERY: KICKSTARTER T-SHIRT LINK
Think back to the time during the campaign we were smashing Stretch Goals and unlocking rewards? Remember that? Fun times! Well, thinking back to one reward in particular...
That looks familiar, right? Wow, a lot has happened since then. But most importantly, we unlocked that!
And - TODAY is the day this reward gets fulfilled! Let's get our models ready for a photo shoot!
If you want to let the world know you're back from the beyond, you can let them know you are Officially Undead and Proud to be a backer for They Came from Beneath the Grave! Check out the design and various shirt options here: They Came from Beyond the Grave! Backer Shirt <Link>
AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW - FOR A LIMITED TIME
So, this Stretch Goals during the kickstarter campaign was for a special available-for-a-limited-time Kickstarter Backer TheyCame from Beyond the Grave! T-shirt, but really there are more than just T-shirt options there (and more colors as well!)
If you click over to Onyx Path's REDBUBBLE T-shirt Shop using this link <Beyond the Grave! Shirt> you will see the backer shirts, which will be available for a LIMITED TIME ONLY! You have ONE WEEK to order a shirt with this design if you'd like to announce you're a supercool zombie!
If you scroll down a bit, you'll see other options - including hoodies and other styles - you can change the style, color, and size to make sure it works for you! Changing the style and size may change the cost, so be aware. Make sure you review your selection before you process payment to ensure you've got the correct images, style, color, and size.
One last time: This shirt will be available for a LIMITED TIME ONLY - please act quickly if you're interested!
More to come...
I'll be back in just over a week to with our regular Month End update, and now I'll get to shift one reward from the Pending to Delivered section! That's always fun! So, look for that before the end of the month.
Until then...

March 2021 Update

– Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 08:40:55 PM
Greetings Gravediggers,
It's a sunny March day where I'm sitting, and a great time for a month end update. Nothing dramatic to report this month, though I do enjoy seeing all of our supplemental goals slide forward on the progress path. Let's get to it!
This April is Jumpstart month for Onyx Path media! They're running one of every Jumpstart they can for their games, introducing them to new players and putting them in the hands of GMs skilled at some games, but new to these ones! They would love it if you checked some of these out, to maybe get acquainted for the first time with some of these Onyx Path games! Check out the schedule and tune in!
For anyone new to Onyx Path's channel, you can find them running and playing games over on twitch.tv/theonyxpath pretty much every day of the week!

Hello Gravediggers,
Welcome to our first status update of 2021!
New Year, Same Style
This part of the post-campaign is usually pretty quiet, with slow but steady movement along the project progress pathway. Let's check in with our rewards again to ensure we're all on the same page:

Our rewards are all at various stages on the Project Progress Path, inching forward and on track so far. We've still got a long way to go, but I'm happy to see where we stand right now. The Onyx Path team is catching up from some of the schedule shifts that were necessary to get through 2020, so I'm hoping we'll see one of our rewards (the T-shirt link) before too much longer! As soon as that happens, I'll let you know!
As always, I will continue to post our list of delivered and pending rewards with each monthly update, so that we can track everything that's needed and keep on the same page.

The ancient powers never fully went away. They wander our roads and cities, mingling with the teeming masses of humanity. Characters in Scion Second Edition begin as humans touched by fate, heirs to great powers and incredible destinies. In the core setting for Scion, characters discover they are the children of Gods, inheriting mantles, accomplishing great deeds, and deciding their own destinies. It’s a game about divinity and humanity, and everything in between — and now, with these two expansions, everything beyond as well. Scion: Dragon and Scion: Masks of the Mythos open new pathways, new origins, and new secrets for Scion Second Edition.
Check it out on Kickstarter! We've already funded and unlocked 15 Stretch Goals!
2020 Year End Update
over 3 years ago
– Mon, Dec 21, 2020 at 12:41:38 PM
Hello Gravediggers,
It's not quite the end of the year (the end of 2020 can't come soon enough!), but I wanted to get this out early so we can maybe have a little bit of quiet time during these year end holidays.
Stay safe this holiday season!
This year has obviously been full of unexpected challenges and difficult times. Our campaign funded just four months ago, but it seems like it's been about 4 years since then! This year would normally have been mostly about watching the gradual progress on the projects we helped fund, as they slowly work their way to us. This year wasn't normal at all, though, but things have still moved along. I'm hoping 2021 is a much more manageable year, and looking forward to the results of the hard work of the Onyx Path team.

ONYX PATH ON KICKSTARTER IN 2020
To say this year was challenging would be an understatement. Despite difficult, uncertainty, and demanding situations, the Onyx Path team continued to work on the great projects that have made us fans. It wasn't easy - schedules shifted, delays managed, and difficulties dealt with - but here we are at the end of 2020 with some victories to show!
Kickstarter continues to be an important part of the process for Onyx Path, and looking at the long list of projects in the works on the Monday Meeting Notes blog, it certainly looks like that’ll continue to be the case in 2021.
Rather than just take pre-order for an upcoming project, Kickstarter has allowed Onyx Path to gauge interest in game lines (to see if they should develop additional projects beyond those offered during the campaign), and sometimes even add additional projects to a game line immediately via Stretch Goal achievements. More importantly, it’s a chance to interact with the community and for everyone to get involved from the earliest stages.
Running this campaign was one of the great surprises this year for me. I already liked the idea, but digging into the different movie trailers and talking horror films with the backers in the comment section was a true highlight of the year.
Looking at 2020, Onyx Path had 7 Kickstarter campaigns funded, with one more currently on the go!
And, though the campaign still has a few days to go, the recent DeadMan's Rust mega-adventure and setting supplement for ScarredLands 5th Edition has funded, which means it will get added to the list soon!
Thanks to your support during these campaigns, Onyx Path was able to introduce the following additional projects:
Trails of Ash and Bone (V5)
Forbidden Religions (V5)
Children of Blood (V5)
Hunter: The Vigil 2E Jumpstart
Tending the Flame (HtV 2E)
Operative's Dossier (M20)
TechnocracyReloaded Jumpstart (M20)
Technocracy Reloaded Novella Anthology
Legacies of Earth (Legendlore 5E)
Monsters from the Crypt! (TCfBtG!)
Tales of Depravity! (TCfBtG!)
Heroes in a World of Horror! (TCfBtG!)
Scion: Demigod Companion (Scion Second Edition)
Scion: Demigod Scenarios (Scion Second Edition)
Paranormal Investigator's Toolkit (WoD 20A)
Hunting Monsters (WoD 20A)
Necromancers & Mediums (WoD 20A)
Ghost Hunters Jumpstart (WoD 20A)
All of that is in addition to the usual backer rewards, like T-shirt designs and digital wallpapers.
So, thank you for your ongoing support! Even in the chaos, confusion, heartbreak, and challenges of 2020, this hobby has continued to bring people together and provide distraction and respite during these difficult times.
