Kithbook Boggans Backer PDF links sent out!
almost 6 years ago – Tue, May 22, 2018 at 09:06:12 PM

Hello C20 backers!

RichT here:

I just started the process for sending out the links for the C20 Kithbook Boggans backer PDF stretch goal reward to all the backers who pledged for the Deluxe C20 book - the physical book, not the PDF, as per the Stretch Goal.

Here's the message included with the link:

Here is your link for your Backer PDF stretch goal reward of Kithbook Boggans. Please contact DTRPG customer service if you have any problems with the download. If you want, we've set up an errata thread on our forums for any errors you might care to let us know about: http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/the-classic-world-of-darkness/changeling-the-dreaming/1221190-kithbook-boggan-errata-thread

The links are from BackerKit, not Kickstarter, so if you don't get a message please check your Digital Downloads section of your BackerKit page for the link. Also, please check to be sure your pledge includes the Deluxe C20 physical book, as KB Boggans was only a reward if you had the physical book as a reward your pledge.

Otherwise, if you have trouble getting the links, please contact me using that "Contact Me' button in my bio on the C20 Kickstarter page. We'll get you sorted out.

Thanks to all of you for making this stretch goal reward possible with your pledges and enthusiasm!

And now, I'm off to start the Fetch Quest Kickstater going for the deck-building card game from the Realms of Pugmire!

Thanks!

Special Immortal Eyes 4 Novel: Cup of Dreams Excerpt:

As we've been doing, here's another taste of our C20 novel kindly sent over by Jackie Cassada:

Wulf Ragnarson, prince of House Aesin, trudged from his father’s hall. Born to the cold of the northlands, he paid little heed to the deep snow and icy winds. Glancing up, he frowned at the gray-black clouds dominating the white, overcast sky. They suited his mood.

How can father command me to go to San Francisco and marry some snippet of a princess? True, we need to spread our house’s power to other lands if we’re to combat the thallain wherever they appear, but…I’m a warrior, not some mewling princeling to dance attendance on some spoiled American.

He sighed heavily, smelling the snow on the air. Mist rose from the lake he was passing, curling inland. A slight noise from the nearby forest caught his attention. Seeing a magnificent elk emerging from the snow-laden trees, he crouched and froze. More antlers followed close to the elk and he saw four fir bolg, nasty servants of the Fomorians, bolt from the forest and attack the elk. His first impulse was to cry out a challenge and attack them. With an effort of will, he curbed his impulsiveness and remained still. He would tell his father about this threat so near the hall, then track them down as part of a warband armed to take them down.

His heart ached for the death of the noble elk as the fir bolg tore into it, slashing and tearing chunks of bloody meat from its still-living body. Just as he couldn’t stand to watch anymore, they carved off slabs and quickly retreated into the forest. Snow fell more heavily now, threatening blizzard conditions and he realized he’d lose them if he didn’t track them right now. As the last monster passed into the trees, he was up and moving after them. He nodded respectfully to the bloodied remains of the elk as he passed.

Go in peace, bright brother. Your troubles are over, your time done here. The theft of your life will be avenged.

With this thought, he moved quickly after the evil fir bolg. As he tracked them through the heavy snow, the blizzard tapered off, resolving into heavy fog and the trees he knew faded from sight. He stepped forward and felt a tearing sensation as he found he’d entered a completely foreign landscape. He’d lost sight of the horrid beasts. He was now in the middle of a busy modern port city, its sights, sounds and smells totally different from those he knew at home.

Is this a terrible joke? A trod opened here?

He laughed without humor as he caught sight of the sign overhead. In English it read: Port of San Francisco.

Wulf made certain he stood someplace outside the rush of cars, vans, buses, and other vehicles, each reeking of horrid fumes, with the stench of burning rubber here and there.

I am here for a reason, and it has not to do with marriage, political or otherwise.

He closed his eyes and opened his heart to sense any pull of Glamour that might tell him where to go. For a few seconds he could detect nothing but the banal reek of tall steel buildings and the ubiquitous noise of traffic. Then, he felt it, the soft, otherworldly strands of fae magic. Some came from the collection of kiths that called the city home. These traces felt disconnected, spread far and few between throughout the metropolis. As he concentrated, deepening his senses and closing out external stimuli, he noticed a strong pull of Glamour, one that bore some familiarity with the trail he had followed into this accursed place.

A sudden, blaring sound, unlike anything he had ever heard, startled him into opening his eyes. One hand reached for his weapon, then stopped as he beheld a strange purple and yellow vehicle pulled up to the curb alongside him, its rear door open. In the driver’s seat was a nocker in a leather jacket, her face pierced in several places, and her spikey hair dyed red and black, with traces of other, older colors.

“Don’t just stand there,” she said in a raspy voice, “get in and I’ll take you where you need to go.” Wulf hesitated just a moment. The driver made a noise in her throat to catch his attention. “Hurry, we don’t have all day!”

Swallowing his doubts, Wulf got into the car.

“Hold on,” the driver warned, as the vehicle accelerated, ignoring the traffic altogether.

March C20 Update!
about 6 years ago – Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 04:38:40 PM

Hello Changeling 20th backers!

RichT here:

I've been told that the first of our shipments of your rewards started going out this week, although we're doing this in waves so your country might not yet be shipping. Please give the process a chance to finish before asking about your specific package, as this is a process and not a one-day ship-out.

That being said, if you get a shipping notice and it's wrong, please use the Contact button near my picture on the right side of our KS page to let me know as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, we still have our list of ongoing projects from this KS:

First Draft (The first phase of a project that is about the work being done by writers, not dev prep):

- C20 Players’ Guide (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)

- C20 Novel: Immortal Eyes 4 (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) See note below!

Post-Editing Development:

- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)

Art Direction:

- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)- Art continues to come in.

Proofing:

- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)- Mirthful Mike is just waiting on cover text and he can wrap this up and we can do a PDF.

Special Immortal Eyes 4 Novel Excerpt Link:

Jackie and Nicky have provided us with three (!) small tastes or scenes from their C20 novel in progress: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B57iDF62OjtPTmZHSHhHMWMzQUduNHFsVl85a2FGcE0zUE1r

Meanwhile in a very different game world:

This week we started our latest Kickstarter campaign, for the Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought source book, or "fatsplat" book, for the Exalted 3rd Edition game line.

Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought introduces the Dragon-Blooded in 3rd Edition and all the rules necessary to feature them as player characters or NPC antagonists, including character creation rules and the element-based Dragon-Blooded Charm set of powers. This book will give an iconic view of the Dragon-Blooded, from their mythic origins as the armies of the gods to their place in the current era.

Because we made sure that the complete text for this book was finished before we ran Dragon-Blooded's KS, we can provide one quarter (more or less) of the book's text to backers each week of the campaign and get their feedback along the way. (Plus, if a backer doesn't like the text, they can cancel their pledge before the KS is over). This is the first big book for our new dev team, and judging by what we're hearing, it seems they've knocked the (fire)ball out of the park with this one!

So if that sounds interesting, please check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/dragon-blooded-what-fire-has-wrought-for-exalted-3
