Hello Green Sun Princes,

I had these set up to buiy me a week or so before I had to figure more stuff out. So, after quickly hammering on some stuff with the team, I've got a Stretch Goal update for you!

Because we're growing so quickly! It's an Infernal inferno!



As we increase the overall funding and support for the project, we’re able to add additional resources to the project, expand the rewards listed, and add in new offers and opportunities. Each Stretch Goal will have a target that, once reached, will add a project to the reward list for backers of the relevant Pledge Levels. Whenever we achieve a stretch goal, the listing will be updated to reflect the achievement.

INFERNALS: Crowned by Hellfire has been FUNDED!

Working together, we have funded the development of a PDF and Deluxe Edition hardcover version of Infernals: Crowned by Hellfire for the Exalted Third Edition tabletop roleplaying game! Pretty cool!

And now that we've jumped that amazing hurdle, let's set ourselves up for some additional challenges and get some Stretch Goal targets!

But first, let me switch to my Infernal guise for this official announcement.


Look at that scowl!

On to the Stretch Goals!


As we increase the overall funding and support for the project, we’re able to add additional resources to the project, expand the rewards listed, and add in new offers and opportunities.

Whenever we achieve a stretch goal, the listing will be updated to reflect the achievement.

That's FOUR big stretch goal targets, one for each hand! That should keep something on the horizon for most of the campaign and give us a foundation to build some regular Onyx Path milestone markers in and around.

So please continue to spread the word! Share the message in your social circles and on your social media! This project is now funded, so the Exalted Infernals book will become a fully-developed reality. New backers will be able to read along with the manuscript downloads as they come out, know that the project will happen, and help us add even more content and potential rewards for backers!

Lots more to come! What are you most excited to see in the upcoming manuscript downloads?

#ExaltedThirdEdition

Hello Green Sun Princes,

My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this fun new project - Infernals: Crowned by Hellfire, the latest fatsplat for the Exalted Third Edition tabletop roleplaying game. I’ll be updating the campaign as we go, sharing the draft mansucript previews, answering questions, and providing support wherever needed as best I can.



I’ll note that I’m not part of the creative team on this project – so I won’t be able to immediately answer some of the more intricate rules or design inquiries – but having me manage this Crowdfunding campaign allows Eddy, Vance, Elliott and the Exalted Crew to keep their focus on the awesome projects that they’ve got in the works.

So, welcome to Crowdfunding by BackerKit! Welcome to this latest setting expansion for Exalted Third Edition! It's time to loose the Infernals upon Creation!



Some quick things to note before we get into the manuscript.

Shipping Costs will be Collected in the Pledge Manager

First up, it's amazingly expensive to ship, especially from Onyx Path's home base in the US. And that's as of today - we're all in the dark about how things will look in 2 years. We get that, but there's not much we can do at this time. Onyx Path is in a difficult space where the company is big enough that they're not saving money by fulfilling out of Rich's garage, but small enough that they haven't been able to set up ongoing international partners to handle portions of the fulfillment. So we are where we are - for now.

The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front that shipping will likely be expensive (see our projections on the main page) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you aren't sure you want one of the hardcover editions, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.

Draft Manuscript Previews

In fact, you can help guide the team through the next stages of development by providing feedback on these manuscript previews! The Onyx Path team has set up a special Feedback Form just for campaign backers for this very purpose: https://forms.gle/vXsoupab1AyG81H29


You can use this Feedback Form to share your thoughts directly with the Exalted creative team to help guide them through the next rounds of development and editing.
