October 2026 - Reward! ALECHEMICALS shirt on Redbubble for a Limited Time!
8 days ago – Fri, Oct 16, 2026 at 06:33:01 AM

Hello Forged Friends,

I've got a reward for you today. One of our Stretch Goals is ready to deliver. Before I get to that, though, I've got an Onyx Path event running in about an hour.

REDDIT AMA on FRIDAY OCT 16 at 10 AM EST

At 10:00 AM Eastern Time, a chunk of the Onyx Path crew will be participating in an Ask Me Anything on r/rpg. I think it's probably going to focus on their latest project, Curseborne Convenant, but as the title implies, you can really Ask theM Anything. So, if you've got Qs for Onyx Path, drop by r/rpg and get some As.

And now to our Stretch Goal. Remember this one?


I know, it's been a long time. But that reward is now being made available for a limited time!

Redbubble ALCHEMICALS SHIRT DESIGN Now Available for a Limited Time!



If you want to let the world know you're a Crowdfunding Backer and proud to be an excellent forged fried as well, check out the design and various shirt options here: Alchemicals Backer Shirt <Link>

 AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW - FOR A LIMITED TIME

So, this Stretch Goal during the kickstarter campaign was for a special available-for-a-limited-time Crowdfunding Backer Alchemical Exalted 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 <Alchemicals 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 curious cat!

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!


Avatars of Brass and Shadows Previews

There are still many dots to fill in and work to be done, but here's a sneak preview of some of that work featured in the Avatars of Brass and Shadows, the Alchemicals companion book we funded via Stretch Goal achievements.

Hello Forged Friends,

It's been a few months since our book came out in PDF form and now it's time to start dreaming about the Avatars of Brass and Shadow, the companion book we unlocked via Stretch Goal. It'll probably be some time before we see that, but the team have started previewing material that will be included in the book. Here's the first preview posted on the Onyx Path website:

August 2026 Monthly Update
about 2 months ago – Wed, Aug 26, 2026 at 08:01:05 AM

Hello Forged Friends,

Our main reward may be released on DriveThruRPG, but there are still many dots to fill in and pieces to deliver. I'll continue to share updates each month to track the progress.

Pending Projects


With the Alchemicals book out, the team works on setting up the print book and adding it to Onyx Path's backlogged print queue. It'll take some time, but they'll work through it all and eventually we'll have the deluxe Alchemicals book in our hands. While that's happening, work continues on our stretch goal, with the Avatars of Brass and Shadow now in final development.

Jadestorm is an epic game of adventure, vengeance, and power. You are a Jadebearer — an inheritor of one or more Jade cinders, fragments of destroyed demonic demigods — and it is for you to decide whether you use your powers to play the role of the glorious hero or wield them to become the most notorious of villains.

Learn from your master until you can defeat him.
Duel for Jade and best your rivals.
Venture into the Wilds and claim unconquered fragments of the Infernal Sovereigns.

The isolated nine realms of Eos are awaiting epic heroes and wicked villains to lead them into a new era. Will you bind the world in hope or drive its people fleeing into the Wilds?



Jadestorm is a complete tabletop roleplaying game of epic tales of adventure, vengeance, and power. It includes:

  • A game of epic wuxia-inspired fantasy, where heroes make fantastic chained actions, command potent sorceries, and every plot feels dramatic.
  • A huge number of playable characters.
  • An alive setting encompassing nine realms and the dangerous Wilds.
  • The entire action-packed Storypath Ultra system.

Reward! Finalized PDF available! Discounted PoD Order Links going out to backers.
3 months ago – Thu, Aug 06, 2026 at 06:07:00 AM

Hello Forged Friends,

Thanks to your feedback and support, Onyx Path has now fine-tuned the Alchemicals: Forged by the Machine God PDF, implemented your feedback where appropriate, fixed all of the page numbers, and the finalized PDF is now available in your DriveThruRPG digital library (if  you've already downloaded it once, or from your redemption link in your BackerKit digital rewards page if you haven't yet downloaded it)



Once you'ved used your redemption code to get the Alchemicals: Forged by the Machine God PDF from DriveThru, you can access your DTRPG Digital Library at any time and download the latest version of the book at your convenience.

Now that Onyx Path has released the PDF for purchase on DriveThruRPG, they've also make a print-on-demand version of that PDF availble for purchase. As one of your rewards, you may have access to a discount link that will allow you to add the PoD hardcover to your cart at a slightly reduced price, should you wish to buy a hardcopy of the PDF.

DISCOUNTED PRINT-ON-DEMAND ORDER LINKS FOR BACKERS

If you pledged to the Populat Hero digital reward tier or have the deluxe hardcover version as one of the items in your pledge list, one of your rewards is a discounted option to order a print-on-demand version of the Alchemicals: Forged by the Machine God PDF. 

Again, just to ensure it's understood -

THIS IS NOT YOUR CROWDFUNDING DELUXE HARDCOVER REWARD! 

This is a discount link for a one-off printed version of the PDF that has been released for purchase on DriveThruRPG.com (but YOU can order it at a discounted cost if you wish!) With this step completed and the files finalized, Onyx Path can now begin setting up the hardcover edition at the printer and will ship to you when ready. 

DIFFERENCES IN PoD FORMATS

So, for those backers who pledged at the PDF reward tier, or those backers who will later be receiving the hardcover book but might be looking for a second copy for the table - or can't wait until some of the print prodution issues are sorted in this chaotic and unpredictable time -  there are two different versions of Print-On-Demand options available.


Standard Color uses a thick 70# white paper which has better page opacity. (that's "70 pound" for reference, but does not mean each page weighs 70 lbs!).  Standard Heavyweight Color uses inkjet technology. (These are not the same inkjet printers you have at home - these are often as big or bigger than a car!) This option offers lower cost but the colors won't be as sharp or bright as a Premium Color book.

Premium Color uses the same 70# paper, but uses "Digital Color Print Engine Technology," which sounds super fancy and certainly costs a lot more, but I'll admit to not knowing the exact difference. This option offers superior color quality but is more expensive to produce, and has gotten even more expensive over the past year.

(Remember to login to DriveThruRPG prior to clicking or pasting the discount link in your BackerKit digital rewards locker, if you that was part of your rewards list! That link is your coupon and must be used for your PoD order.)

Please note: This discounted Print-on-Demand ordering link will be valid at this cost for the next few months - it expires on October 30, 2026 - so please, if you choose to order a Print-on-Demand copy, use the provided link prior to November to ensure the best pricing.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

If this reward is on your rewards list, your link to claim them will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the 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

July 2026 Monthly Update
3 months ago – Wed, Jul 29, 2026 at 07:40:04 AM

Hello Forged Friends,

Last month, the backer PDF went out. This month isn't as exciting.

The team has taken your feedback and has just about finalized the PDF. They're also ordering Print-on-Demand test print. Once they've got those two parts sorted, they'll update the PDF to the finalized version and release it to the general public on DTRPG.

When the finalized version is released, you'll be able to download the latest version at any time from your DTRPG digital library. I'll also have discounted PoD order codes for those who want an extra copy for the table or don't want to wait until the deluxe hardcover is shipping to have something in your hands. But that's for next month.

For this month, let's get to our regular update.
