Hello Changeling 20th backers!
RichT here:
The Deluxe C20 books are being bound together, the dice are shipping to the US next week, I've closed down address changes on BackerKit to prepare those files for the shippers and am hoping we can start shipping in February. Not tomorrow, but by the end of the month. Still need conformation from our shippers and all the pieces have to arrive there, too.
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 Novel: Immortal Eyes 4 (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Post-Editing Development:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Art Direction:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
In Layout:
- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Proofing:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) - inputting errata.
And This Blatant Plug:
For our latest Kickstarter campaign for the reboot of the Trinity Continuum featuring the Core Rulebook (and modern era setting) and the Trinity Continuum: Aeon book! We just funded on the first day of the KS, but have tons of Stretch Goals we'd love to accomplish.
C'mon and check it out: as a backer we'll be releasing to you the full text for both books in the course of the month! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/trinity-continuum-aeon-rpg
December C20 Update!

Hello Changeling 20th backers!
RichT here:
Mirthful Mike Chaney, our art director, has approved the proofs for the C20 Screen and the cover emboss and our printer is forging ahead on those. With page gilding continuing, they will emboss the covers and then basically start slipping those over the gilded "book blocks" of the book interiors and attaching the two pieces (the cover and the interior) together.
I'm expecting finished Deluxe C20 dice mid-January, and the folks at Q-Workshop liked the designs so much that we're talking about them selling a differently colored set. Your KS dice are not going to be available generally, though, and if we have any extra sets we'll sell those at conventions or through IPR, not in stores.
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 Novel: Immortal Eyes 4 (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Here is another set of scenes from the novel: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B57iDF62OjtPR1NmVEhJSkRCbmlCNno0ci1DV1F3QXZWOUs0/view?usp=sharing
Editing:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
In Layout:
- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Proofing:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) - fixing errata from backers- thanks!
And This Public Service Announcement:
Just wanted to point out that if you need information more frequently than these monthly Updates, we have several ways to get that to you. The first is to review my weekly Monday Meeting Notes blog, which you can find on our website, here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/news/monday-meeting/
Down near the end we have a weekly progress report on all of our ongoing projects, starting with the Initial Draft stage of when writers have started writing, all the way to the At Press stage of when projects are getting completed and towards being made available. You can also get the weekly blog emailed to you, so you don't have to hunt for it, by joining our Onyx Path Mailing List on the right side of our website.
You can ask questions in the comments for the Monday Meeting Notes Blog which I pop in to answer during the course of the week, and also ask questions on our Twitter and Facebook accounts, and on our Onyx Path forums where we have sections dedicated to our game lines.
And if your question is specific to this Kickstarter, the most direct way to contact us is to click on my name in the upper right of this KS page, and go down to the end of my info to the blue Contact Me box and click on that. Those messages are part of the Kickstarter database, and are linked to your account, so we have access to your pledge info and can use that to sort out your problem. You can also try Customer Service at BackerKit, as they have access to that info, and know how to help with the vast majority of questions.
Finally, as this comes up a lot: if you need to change your address after the Backer Surveys have gone out and been returned, you can access your Survey response using the same url as for the Survey and make the changes needed right there. Easy peasy!
Have a great holiday season and we'll talk to you next year!

If you missed it, we released the official Onyx Path Dice Rolling App a couple of weeks ago. Besides the V20 dice pictured below, there are also C20 dice available and the App devs are working on having the two kinds of C20 dice as part of an upgrade. In fact, our App Devs have already made a bunch of upgrades and updates based on customer feedback, and there's more to come including additional dice styles.
Here are the links for the Apple and Android versions:

October C20 Update!

Hello Changeling 20th backers!
RichT here:
Here are a few pics of the printer proofs for the interior of the Deluxe C20 books:
These proofs are mostly about placement and making sure that the transfer from our files to the printer files didn't lose anything in the process. The very last image is a proof page checking on color. It is, in fact, the second proof for color as we felt the first was a bit off.
Soon, the printer will be actually printing the interior, and then they'll work on the deluxe cover and embossing plates.
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 Novel (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Here is a link to some scenes from the novel, excerpted by Jackie for your enjoyment: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B57iDF62OjtPbTBESUpySC1tMU84OVc1QXAxSDhzRHlZYVpV
Development:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Art Direction:
- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Proofing:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Finally, we'll be Kickstarting the 2nd Edition of Changeling: The Lost, the Chronicles of Darkness Changeling game, in a few weeks and we'll be letting folks know as the start approaches via Onyx Path social media and our website. They're very different games, so check it out if you're interested.
September C20 Update!

Hello Changeling 20th backers!
RichT here:
This is the part where the updates for C20 itself get a bit dull, as we go through the manufacturing of the Deluxe book. Usually, once they actually get to the printing, our printer send us pics, so we'll share them when they come.
But, 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 Novel (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Redlines:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) - not actually sitting in redlines all this time, a writer dropped and the project is catching up.
Post Editing Development:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Art Direction:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) (Yep, books are often in Post Editing Dev and Art Direction at the same time.) Final art is being created, sketches are done.
- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
On Sale:
- C20 Jumpstart: Yours To Keep – PDF and PoD versions on sale at DriveThruRPG.com
And Finally, here's a message about our latest Kickstarter: Rose Bailey's Cavalier of Mars!
Live, fight, and love on Mars, a world of red death and strange mystery, a world of savagery and romance.
Return now to dying Mars in its last age of glory. A planet of flashing swords and choking sands, of winking courtesans and lantern-lit canal cities.
Mars, where fortune and heartbreak are two sides of the same obsidian chit, where lost cities and dry oceans stretch between the last bastions of civilization. Where the First Martians, the monument-builders, are but a haunted memory. Where the Red Martians become decadent and reckless in their last days. Where the Pale Martians rule the wastes, remembering a history whose weight would crush a lesser people.
If that sounds interesting, we'd love to have you check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/cavaliers-of-mars-a-tabletop-roleplaying-game
Remember: Mars has canals... therefore, Mars must have Venice!
