TRINITY CONTINUUM: AEON RPG

Created by Onyx Path - Trinity Continuum: Æon

The Trinity Continuum is a vast timeline of adventure, speckled with dramatic points across the past, present, and future, where heroes - or villains - arise. While each setting supplement will explore part of the Trinity Continuum timeline, these points in time aren't dots in a straight line - this isn't a long-form metaplot to be simply read aloud. Instead, they're points of quantum probabilities. Anything can happen, so it's up to you and your cast to make it happen!

Books have been landing all across North America. The international shipments should all be out of the warehouse and on their way by the end of next week (I appreciate your patience! They'll be shipped to deliver as quickly as possible!)

INSTRUCTIONS ON CHECKING YOUR TRACKING NUMBER IN BACKERKIT APPEARED IN THE LAST UPDATE.

Once all shipments have left the building and are firmly in the hands of our kickstarter backers and supporters, Onyx Path will be finalizing the PDF and POD release on DrivethruRPG, at which point I'll have PoD discount codes to distribute via BackerKit and move a few more rewards from Pending to Delivered. And then, it's just about the novellas!

So, lots of major progress this month, with a big push to get those final books out the doors and into eager hands as quickly as possible. 

I'll post our list of delivered and pending rewards with each summary update, so that we can track everything that's needed and keep on the same page. Also, feel free to check out Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes posts (linked here) which will give you a weekly status report on ALL of the projects Onyx Path has on the go (you may see spoilers for other kickstarter campaigns are currently running or will soon be launched).

COMING TO KICKSTARTER ON NOVEMBER 5TH...

In Mummy: The Curse, players take on the characters of the Arisen, humans who were subjects of the greatest magic ever worked by mortal hands, the Rite of Return, in the long-lost Nameless Empire. As part of the Rite, they underwent ritual death, and their souls were eternally bound to their mortal remains. Consequently, while the Arisen can be killed, they will always return, their bodies reforming anew.

Mummy: The Curse Second Edition includes all the rules you need to play as one of the Arisen: Decrees and Pillars that reflect the transformation by the Rite of Return, Utterances and Affinities as the powers you wield and the price you pay for them, magical relics and vessels for use or sacrifice, and all manner of antagonists from immortals to Shuankhsen and others besides.

Pledge to help us create and get this Second Edition of Chronicles of Darkness' Mummy: The Curse into stores! The Kickstarter rises from its tomb on Tuesday, November 5th at 2pm Eastern time!

REWARD SHIPPING UPDATE
over 4 years ago – Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 12:50:06 AM

Hello Continuum Community!

The Summer Olympics come along every 4 years, but the Fulfillment Olympics seem to pop up at random every few months! That is to say, I think we just cleared the final Fulfillment hurdle, and while we're not yet at the medal presentation, at least the closing ceremonies are in sight. Wow, that's a long, tortured metaphor. 

It's James, rolling 5 dice to get these books out to you!

I've been writing and re-writing this update for the past few weeks, but I finally have a timeline to share for our hardcover book reward delivery!

OK, to switch from Fulfillment Olympics to the much more relevant Storypath system:

I'm clearly "Mundane" and my Target Number is 8

I've managed to roll one success, which is enough to buy off the Difficulty, but not enough to remove any Complications. And, in this case, those Complications have been a series of scheduling delays. BUT, we've got a Success there, so I can finally provide an outline of our Shipping Timeline.

SHIPPING UPDATE

There were A LOT of books to ship out for this project! Our logistical complications on this one included the usual unrelated delays and scheduling conflicts, plus two hardcover books and two Storyguide screens - all having names starting with "Trinity Continuum," which gets interesting in an abbreviated pick list for warehouse staff. (Imagine the joys of seeing "Trinity Cont" thousands of times on pick sheets and having to pause to clarify what each means to changing shifts...).

Anyway,the cosmic tumblers have finally clicked into place, and shipment pick ups have been scheduled.

To manage the skids of product coming in and going out, the distribution has been broken into waves:

  •  Wave I: US domestic deliveries
  •  Wave II: International - Canada 
  •  Wave III: International - Worldwide  

The latest update I've got from our fulfillment partner says that Domestic orders (Wave I) should be leaving the warehouse by end of the week (October 26), with Canadian orders (Wave II) set to be completed by next Friday (November 1), and the final Worldwide orders (Wave III) all out by November 8th

HUGE THANKS TO ALL BACKERS FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING. The Onyx Path team is incredibly eager to get these books out into the world, and these minor delays have been an exhausting struggle, but the end is finally in sight. 

TRACKING INFORMATION

Orders should start delivering the week after they leave the warehouse, so US orders should start delivering in the final week of October, Canadian orders will start to land in the first week of November, and International orders will start arriving after November 11th.

As the orders prepare to ship, Tracking information is loaded into the BackerKit Pledge Manager system. This information is set-up and loaded in during the pick and pack stage, so most tracking numbers will initially list the order as "Pre-Shipment Status." It will update as it moves to shipped and delivered status.

You can access your Tracking number in Backerkit by reviewing your Order Confirmation.

Your BackerKit page has:

  • 1 - Your Reward Tier
  • 2 - Your BackerKit e-mail
  • 3 - the TRACKING NUMBER for your shipment
  • 4 - Your confirmed shipping address
  • 5 - A link to your digital redemption codes
  • 6 - Your list of rewards

If you need to have the BackerKit access link re-sent, you can return to your survey by requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://trinity-continuum-aeon-rpg.backerkit.com/

TRACKING YOUR ORDERS

As noted on these pages, it may take up to 48 hours for Tracking Information to update. That said, tracking your packages - especially for international orders - can provide great assistance in solving minor issues before they become major issues.

International Shipping costs have gone up considerably - that's an understatement - since this project was first put together. The funds we collected during the kickstarter campaign now cover about 20%-50% of the cost of international shipping, so it's pretty important that we avoid any re-ships or additional shipping charges as much as possible. And that's where your help can really come in handy.

I've dealt with several situations where shipments were marked as "delivered" but the backer hadn't checked the tracking information for months, unaware that the package had been sitting at a neighbor's house or stuck in a local postal facility.

So, please, check your tracking number over the next few weeks. If you haven't received your package by, let's say November 22 , review the tracking number to see where the issue might be.

Again, it may take up to 48 hours for any status updates to appear, and depending on the country and carrier, each package may enjoy a different transit time. But if we're three weeks into November, let's see if we can sort out any delivery issues while everything's still fresh.

For example, if Package status indicates it was delivered but you never received it

Double-check your Backerkit CONFIRMATION PAGE (as detailed above) that the correct address was provided, and maybe check with your neighbors to make sure it wasn’t accidentally left there. If that doesn’t turn up anything, contact the carrier or your local post office to report the package as not received and please contact me using the Contact Creator button on kickstarter to let me know you didn’t get your order.

I've seen so many orders sitting in a local post office for 8 weeks while the recipient was left unaware that it was waiting. Additionally, other backers have solved issues almost immediately with a quick call to FedEx and providing their tracking number.

It's a HUGE help to me and Onyx Path if we can solve any wayward shipment or stuck orders in November, rather than waiting until the end of the year when shipping systems finally give up delivery attempts and return the items to our fulfillment partner (at an extra cost to Onyx Path). Let's avoid paying for multiple return shipments if we can! Thanks for your help in advance.

SO EXCITING!

Now, all of that stuff out of the way, I've got to say that I'm so excited for this round of kickstarter rewards to ship! I'm part of the International Wave II, so will be holding my breath for another week, but that just gives me time to finish building my Trinity Continuum shrine/shelf. (I'm sure when the books start landing in Canada, you'll hear both Ian and I shouting in celebration!)

I'll send out our regular month-end update in another week, and list all of our rewards and the delivery status. We're about to move so many from the pending column that it's going to be amazing to see how far we've come!

Thanks again to everyone for their support and excitement throughout this process!

September 2019 Update
over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 07:05:52 PM

Hello Continuum Community,

It's the final day of September, so I wanted to post this month end update to keep on track with our process and system and make sure I'm communicating on a regular basis.

It's James! You're probably going to hear from me again in the next week or so...

I thought about waiting a few more days to include more information in this update, but what the heck - I guess you can hear from me twice over the next few weeks.

ALMOST SHIPPING!

I was hoping to have a note about the books shipping out to you this week, but there's been a slight delay in the delivery from Onyx Path's printer to the fulfillment warehouse. Mostly just a scheduling thing - co-ordinating trucks and multiple pallet deliveries, sometimes you have to remember that other companies also have ongoing business and don't drop everything for Trinity Continuum goodness!

Anyway, just waiting for word that the shipment has been received over the next few days and then I can begin working with our fulfillment partners to break out the shipping info, and they can begin the Pick Pack and Ship process. Once I have timelines and info, I will be back to share it.

If your address in October/November will be different than the one currently listed in BackerKit, please get in touch right away so I can ensure that the books ship to the correct location!

So, with all of that being said, let's get to the meat of our regular month end update:

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your copy of the Æon Æxpansion PDF for Trinity Continuum: Æon will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager today. 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 a link for the Æon Æxpansion Backer PDF today if it is on your expected list of rewards.

BACKER PDF VERSION

This is the first version of the Æon Æxpansion to be released. We've sent you this initial Backer PDF for a few reasons:

1) To thank you for your support! You helped launch the new edition of this game and bring this into the world, and you deserve to see it first!

3) To make the final version the best it can be! 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, let's start this errata and correction process!

Onyx Path has launched a special ÆON ÆXPANSION Errata Form, which you can access here:

https://forms.gle/K8R7yEESGvSaKqqB7

Click to launch the Æon Æxpansion Ærrata Form

Generally, we try to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks, although they may be accessible a little longer due to the recent nature of this method. Still, please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure we're getting everything covered.

We won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note these threads will be for errata only - typos, incorrect math, page elements that overlap incorrectly, etc. It won't be for book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.

Also, they already know about the 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!), we will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice that you can re-download your file with the latest version.

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

LOCK DOWN REMINDER

SURVEY REVIEW & LOCK DOWN
over 4 years ago – Fri, Aug 23, 2019 at 11:09:51 PM

Hello Continuum Community,

Here's the announcement we've been waiting for:

IT'S TIME TO LOCK DOWN THE SURVEYS AND PREPARE FOR SHIPPING!!

Just to pause a moment in the middle of celebration, I ask that everyone reviews their BackerKit survey to confirm rewards and lock in information. Information below on how to access your Survey again, but key follow-up steps are:

1. CONFIRM REWARDS - I'll be locking down all Reward Lists, so if you wanted to add any additional rewards, please do so by AUGUST 30, 2019. In a week's time, I will lock down all reward lists and you won't be able to adjust or add anything after that time.

2. CONFIRM ALL PAYMENT INFORMATION - For any additions you made in BackerKit, or any payments that did not process at the end of the Kickstarter campaign, please ensure your payment information is up to date, valid, and ready to be processed by SEPTEMBER 13, 2019. In three weeks time, I will instruct BackerKit to lock down and process all outstanding payments.

3. CONFIRM SHIPPING INFORMATION - Please ensure your shipping information is up-to-date with your expected address for October 2019. Please ensure that this information is entered and correct by SEPTEMBER 20, 2019. In four weeks time, I will take the shipping information we have for you in BackerKit and provide that to our fulfillment partners, so they can start picking and packing orders, with plans to begin shipping by the end of September and early October.

ADDRESS CONFIRMATION & DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS.

Consider this the four-weeks-from-fulfillment warning to update your information, after which point, you agree that our responsibility to you is to ship your order as listed in our pledge manager system to the address listed in BackerKit, that title and risk passes to you upon delivery to a common carrier for such shipment, and you are responsible for import duties or any other duties that may be payable to the relevant tax authorities, providing correct address information and ensuring this address is deliverable by normal methods. Failure to confirm mailing address prior to September 20, 2019 will be taken as agreement that all obligations have been met and no further action or effort is required on the part of Onyx Path.

(Of course, if you're getting digital rewards only, you don't need to worry about your address. This is just for the physical books and screens).

SHIPPING UPDATE TO COME

This is all in anticipation of shipping around the beginning of October. I will send another update when the books are actually ready to go and will begin shipping, but we need to have this information locked down prior to that stage. If you find yourself in an unusual circumstance or your residence unexpectedly changes between SEPTEMBER 20th and the date I send out the shipping update, contact me to see what I can do at that time.

BACKERKIT REVIEW

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://trinity-continuum-aeon-rpg.backerkit.com/

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://trinity-continuum-aeon-rpg.backerkit.com/faq

I'll continue to monitor the comment section for this campaign and answer any questions that come up. If you have any issues or problems with other aspects of the project, you can let me know here and we'll figure out a solution. Additionally, I'll be forwarded any important questions that are sent in via the CONTACT ME button under the Rich's creator link on the main page.

I will send out our regular month-end update with progress on all rewards noted, as well as a reminder about BackerKit information lock down dates. Until then, continue on with the celebration and parades!

It's James, getting ready to ship another kickstarter reward!
