Final Reward Distribution - Legacies of Earth
8 months ago – Wed, Jul 26, 2023 at 08:12:31 AM

Hello Legendlorriors,

It's been an odd three years since we participated in the Kickstarter campaign for the Legendlore RPG. At that time, we came together despite the pandemic to support and explore this tabletop RPG drawn from The Realm and Legendlore comics. Little did we know that Onyx Path would have their own mega-adventure getting this project completed, with suprise challenges and random encounters all along the way. But, at last, our final Stretch Goal reward is now available for backers!

During the campaign, we unlocked two Stretch Goal which added and expanded a "Player's Companion" PDF supplement for this game. 

It's taken some time, but the writing team has delivered on this with...

LEGENDLORE: LEGACIES OF EARTH

Legacies serves as a companion book to players and GMs alike, offering Crossings, Legends, magic items and Strange Things, and NPCs and Monsters to use in any game. Take your campaign to the next level!

In this book you’ll find:

  • 15 Crossings connecting the Realm to Earth throughout the ages, including the horrific 13th Hour and the Runic Song of Taliesin
  • 13 ready-to-play Legends focused on everything from personal glory to world security
  • 22 new magic items and Strange Things, including the Throne of Propulsion and other mobility aids
  • A broad selection of new NPCs and new monsters for any campaign, including the raised Spawn and the alien Overseer

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your Legendlore: Legacies of Earth Advance PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php

Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24 hours if it is on your expected list of rewards. The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://legendlore-rpg.backerkit.com/

ADVANCE PDF VERSION

This is the first version of Legendlore: Legacies of Earth to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Legacies of Earth Feedback Form!

Onyx Path will be launching a special Legacies of Earth Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/iw15yeVgadAPwVco8

Share your feedback directly with the Legendlore developers and writers using this form and help guide it through the next stages of production.

Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for 1 week, so please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure they're getting everything covered.

They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note this form will be for errata only. It won't be for general book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.

Also, they already know about any Page XX notations - those are usually corrected after any changes are made and the books are being finalized. 

After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!) and the page numbers are finalized, Onyx Path will prepare updated final versions of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest versions.

You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.

SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the advance PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!

ALL REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS

FINAL REWARD LINK DISTIRBUTED

That's our final reward link out to backers, and likely my final update for this project. Depending on your communication preferences with DriveThru, you will get an e-mail once Legendlore: Legacies of Earth has been finalized and a new version is available to download from DriveThruRPG. Again, that won't be a new reward or new link sent out via BackerKit - once it's finalized, the file will just be updated on the DriveThru platforms and you'll be able to download the latest version at your convenience.

With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for another 4 months - until November 30, 2023 in fact. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThru library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.

At that point, any Backerkit pages with incomplete surveys or unpaid pledges have be closed and considered completely fulfilled. Unlikely that applies to anyone reading this, but if this is the first time you've paid attention to an update and have never visited your BackerKit page, you may want to double check to get your download codes.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://legendlore-rpg.backerkit.com/

May '23 Bi-Monthly Update
10 months ago – Mon, May 29, 2023 at 08:36:59 AM

Hello Legendlorriors,

We're in the bi-monthly phase of our regular updates, and I'll continue to send these check-ins out every other month until the final stretch goal reward has gone out.

STRETCH GOAL REWARD STILL PENDING

Our final reward, the Legacies of Earth companion PDF, is now in layout. I often tell backers that you can get a sense of when something's getting close from moving to proofing from layout when you start to see artwork previews. Hopefully this sneak peek means we're getting closer...

NOW ON KICKSTARTER

Help fund the new core rulebook for They Came From the RPG and vote on new chapters and new content!

They Came from the RPG Anthology! is a little different than the previous entries in this series, and the clue’s in the title. This newest They Came From… isn’t another single genre piece, but a compilation of multiple genres, spanning the big screen, the small screen, the stage, and possibly even more besides! It also serves as the Core Rulebook for the They Came From game line, with the streamlined ruleset as well as they Storypath Ultra system.

Why “possibly”? Well, when our Kickstarter campaign launches, one of the first things you’ll likely read about is the polls we’ll be running throughout its duration. Every Monday another poll, and every poll adding a new genre to the book. They Came from the RPG Anthology! already includes:

  • They Came from Cowboy’s Gulch! (Westerns)
  • They Came from the Mean Streets! (Noir)
  • They Came from Bridgton Rectory! (Costume Dramas)
  • They Came from the Interstellar Starship! (Space Opera)
  • They Came from the Bard’s Quill! (Shakespearean Plays)

But we’ll be adding a further four chapters (at least) to this book from a selection of options you get to vote on!

That’s not all though. They Came From the RPG Anthology! provides two new system offerings for our loyal audiences:

  • The Quick Play System is a condensed, streamlined, and – as the name implies – quick system you can use for all your games of They Came From! So if you find the current system too complex for your games, you’ll enjoy this slimline version of character creation and the accompanying rules.
  • The Storypath Ultra System is the updated version of our existing Storypath System present in games such as They Came from Beneath the Sea!, Trinity Continuum, Scion, and Dystopia Rising: Evolution, and They Came From the RPG Anthology! is the first place you’ll find it in print! So if you’re interested in the future of Storypath, this is the campaign to back.

As always we’ll have a wide range of backer levels and an active comment section, so come on and join in!

Hello Legendlorriors,

Welcome to our bi-monthly status check in for Legendlore. I know the team is still hammering on this project after a few art delays. I hope that it'll get back on track soon. Let's check in.

January '23 Bi-Monthly Check In
about 1 year ago – Sat, Jan 28, 2023 at 11:32:19 AM

Hello Legendlorriors,

Welcome to the first of our bi-monthly status check-ins for 2023. Hopefully we won't have too many of these until we get to our final bonus reward. Before we have our review of where our project stands, one quick update that may be of interest.

The Onyx Path Partner Games Forums Are Back!

After breaking under the strain of awesome threads, the Onyx Path team have re-vamped, repaired, and re-organized their forums.  They work again! Feel free to drop by the Onyx Path Forums or the Legendlore-specific forum (we've got our own subforum now!)

STRETCH GOAL REWARD REMAINING

I only know what I read in Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes, and what I can infer from reading between the lines, but it looks like there was some hiccup getting all of the the artwork scheduled for this final bonus reward. We had a few pieces previewed in our December '22 post, but according to the most recent notes from Onyx Path, it looks like the final artwork pieces have been assigned and are in process. How quickly we move to the next steps depends on how long the artists take, what revisions are required, how quickly the layout comes together, and how fast it goes through proofing and Licensor sign-offs. So I don't have an ETA, but I'll continue to send out these updates every other month and share any information I have, and hopefully we'll see our final bonus book moving through the production phase before too much longer.

Dec '22: Art Sneak Peek, Podcast, Bi-Monthly Summary
about 1 year ago – Thu, Dec 29, 2022 at 08:31:53 AM

Hello Legendlorriors,

Time for one last update in 2022 as we finish up the year. 2022 started out so well, with our hardcover rewards shipping and delivering to backers, but a few hiccups over the course of the year hindered the final rewards for this campaign. We've got that one final Stretch Goal, and I'm hoping we'll have things back on track and finish up in 2023!

In fact, I've got some artwork to share from our Legacies of Earth companion supplement.

Artwork by Alex Sheikman

ONYX PATHCAST

The weekly Onyx Pathcast took some time to explore the Legendlore world a few months ago, with a trio of episodes focused on this game. They're all great and worth a listen as we await our final supplement from this campaign. Click the links and check 'em out!

EPISODE 233 - LEGENDS AND LORE WITH STEFFIE DE VAAN - Developer Steffie De Vaan talks with Matthew about Legendlore, including some cool thoughts about Crossings, Legends, Relics and Strange Things!

EPISODE 234 - LEGENDLORE CHARACTER CREATION - Here the podcast trio as they develop their characters; a troll, a hairfoot, and a very strange pixie emerge!

EPISODE 235 - ISEKAI! - Inspiration for Legendlore, as the podcast trio talk about isekai inspiration, tropes, and related media.

STRETCH GOAL REWARD REMAINING

Our companion book is finishing up in art direction (see the sneak peeks in this post!), and will hopefully begin the layout phase in early 2023!
