Latest Updates from Our Project:

Final Update - Book of Lasting Death updated
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 04, 2022 at 12:21:29 PM

Hello Arisen,

It's been a few months since I sent out our last reward, the Book of Lasting Death advance PDF for Kickstarter backers. In that update, I said I'd be back one final time to let you know when that project had been finalized.

Well, here we are. After finishing a final piece of artwork and taking all of your feedback, the development has made the corrections and updated the Page XX references and finalized the PDF.

If you had already download the Advance PDF back in August, you can find the latest version in your Digital Library on DriveThruRPG. You can either search your library for Book of Lasting Death or filter to Updated Only and grab it from there.  

If you hadn't yet download the book, your download link on your BackerKit digital rewards page will get you the latest version of the book. DriveThruRPG always has the latest version available.

If you need to review your pledge information, 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://mummy-the-curse.backerkit.com/

With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for another 2 months - until December 31st 2022 in fact. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThruRPG library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.

Related to our updated version, DriveThruRPG now has the Book of Lasting Death available for purchase in PDF and Print-on-Demand format, so if you wanted to order a copy for your bookshelf you now can.

And, with that final notice, I'm calling this our last official update for this project. Thank you again for your support over the past 3 years as we ran the campaign, managed our pledges, shipped our hardcover books and other rewards, sent out our PDF supplements and other Stretch Goal rewards, and have now seen everything released for general purchase.

August '22 Update: The Book of Lasting Death, Monthly Update, Aether is finishing up.
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 11:11:02 PM

Hello Arisen,

I'm pretty sure you won't mind me sending out this month end update a bit early, because I've got big reward news for you! Our final reward from this campaign, unlocked via Stretch Goal, is about 99% complete (a few tweaks needed), but ready enough to send out the Advance PDF to backers!

Remember this Stretch Goal? Well, we built a companion book, The Book of Lasting Death, over a handful of Stretch Goal targets and now it's ready to go out to you!

There is naught more powerful than life. Life is the wellspring from which all hope and endeavor emerges. How selfish of you Arisen, to deny us the same secrets you hold so close.

Not to worry, my entombed friend. My friends and have found ways of replicating your eternal state, though I daresay, our choices require a little more cutting and pasting than your ancient methods. How fortunate for you that you only needed to practice your Rite of Return a single time. For us, we are always on the lookout for a new little finger, a new femur, a new heart…

Maybe we will learn at your feet, when you awake. Perhaps we’ll steal what you have and make it our own. Needless to say, we will serve you, for a time. But when we know all that you know, you will find even your eternity will come to an end.

THE BOOK OF LASTING DEATH INCLUDES:

  • New guilds to play in your chronicles of Mummy: The Curse, from the tragic Deceived and stoic Kher-Minu to the blighted Maar-Kherit and oracular Wadjet-Itja.
  • New antagonists among the Judges and Amkhata and playable options such as Patchwork People, Purified, and ephemeral cultists, as well as many more.
  • New cosmic powers, some specific to the guilds in this book and others usable by Deathless created from the Mummy: The Curse core book.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your The Book of Lasting Death Advance PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next 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

Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with a link for your The Book of Lasting Death Advance PDF over the next 24 hours if it is on your expected list of rewards. The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://mummy-the-curse.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.

ADVANCE PDF VERSION

This is the first version of The Book of Lasting Death to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. There's one final illustration that is currently being completed (probably the one you're looking for!), and some of the page references still to be set once the book is finalized. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before the Onyx Path team finalizes the book and prepares it for release.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Book of Lasting Death Feedback Form!

Onyx Path has launched a special Book of Lasting Death Feedback Form, which you can access here: https://forms.gle/cJnBG21YtVizgMaf9

Share your feedback with the development team using this form!

They know about the final piece of artwork to be added and the Page XX notations - as mentioned, those are waiting for the book to be finalized so they correct pages are listed. 

Generally, they try to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file.

They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.

After that final piece of art, the page numbers, and 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 from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.

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

SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the advance PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!

REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS

FINAL REWARD LINK DISTIRBUTED

That's our final reward link out to backers, but this won't quite be my final update. I won't be sending regular month end summaries any more, but I will send an update once again when the final version of The Book of Lasting Death is available to re-download from your digital library at DriveThruRPG. Again, that won't be a new reward or new link sent out via BackerKit - once it's finalize, the file will just be updated on DTRPG and you'll be able to download the latest version at your convenience.

With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for another 4 months - until December 31st 2022 in fact. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThruRPG library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received. 

Any Backerkit pages with incomplete surveys or unpaid pledges will be closed and considered completely fulfilled in one month, on September 15. Unlikely that applies to anyone reading this, but if this is the first time you've paid attention to an update and have never visited your BackerKit page, this is the last call to do so.

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://mummy-the-curse.backerkit.com/

FINAL 48 HOURS

We're in the final two days for this crowdfunding campaign! The book is funded, many Stretch Goals have been unlocked... so let's see how many more we can get before the end!

June '22: Anniversary Sale, OPPCON Panel, status update
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jul 21, 2022 at 04:18:08 AM

Hello Arisen,

Sneaking in a bit early for our regular monthly update, but you don't experience time in a linear fashion, so you may not even notice.

I've got two quick bits of Onyx Path news to share before we get to our regular review. First up, the Anniversary Sale!

OPP10: CHRONICLES OF DARKNESS SALE

2022 is Onyx Path’s tenth anniversary, so they’re celebrating a different game line every month this year! They're having an amazing monthly sale, pricing products at 10% of their normal retail price (that's 90% off!)

July is Chronicles of Darkness month.

This week features:

Now I know that it's the stuff for Mummy 1st Edition that's on sale right now, but it never hurts to fill in your back catalogue if you're missing stuff and want things to mine for ideas! This sale lasts until July 23, after which they may shift to other CofD deals as the month continues! It's worth checking in to the Onyx Path website on July 24 to see what's next!

As you may remember, back in June Onyx Path held their third annual Virtual Gaming Convention. I've got a cool panel to share with you from that weekend.

Onyx Path Con 2022:Chronicles of Darkness Panel

The Chronicles of Darkness Panel, starring Eric Zawadzki, Renee Ritchie, Jacqueline Bryk, and Joshua Doetsch! Check it out to find out about the current and upcoming releases for the The Chronicles of Darkness!

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Our final reward is in art direction, gathering the illustrations before layout can begin.

One reward to go. Art direction continues.

June '22: A peek ahead, a review of where we stand
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jun 30, 2022 at 01:36:42 PM

Hello Arisen,

No big news to share yet this month. Our two Stretch Goal supplements are still finishing up development and in active art direction, so only incremental progress there. Before we have our monthly review, I do want to look ahead to something happening in July.

Onyx Path 10th Anniversary Sale

2022 marks the 10th Anniversary since the launch of Onyx Path Publishing, and they've been celebrating all year with amazing sales! Each month, Onyx Path has chosen a different line from their catalogue and offered related titles on DriveThruRPG at 10% of the normal price - that means 90% off!

July is Chronicles of Darkness month, and you're going to see this amazing 10% deal on different titles over the next 31 days!

They're going to start with Vampire: The Requiem titles, so if you've got any holes in your digital library, check out Onyx Path's website and their listing on DriveThruRPG for more info starting July 1st. I expect them to change the focus to a different Chronicles of Darkness line (and lines) throughout the month, so keep checking back to see what's been added to the list.

ONYX PATH Virtual Gaming Convention

As you may recall, Onyx Path hosted their third annual Online Gaming Convention a few weeks ago. They haven't yet posted the Chronicles of Darkness panel to their Youtube channel, but it'll probably be up there in the next few days. I'll likely share it in our next monthly update as well, just in case you missed it.

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Our final reward has started art direction

Book of Lasting Death is finishing up in development and started in art direction, getting the illustrations figured out and begun ahead of layout work. So, incremental progress, but we are moving forward.

REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS

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://mummy-the-curse.backerkit.com/

May 2022 Update
almost 2 years ago – Wed, May 25, 2022 at 10:28:12 PM

Hello Arisen,

No big announcements this month. I'll have to poke them about our final reward to see if they can shake it loose. Otherwise, a few other bits and pieces to touch on this month.

ANY WAYWARD BOOKS STILL OUT THERE?

It feels like it's been forever since our books shipped and delivered, doesn't it? I guess it was just about 8 weeks ago, but it feels like a lifetime. Anyway, as far as I'm aware, everything has delivered.

TRACKING INFORMATION

If you were set to receive a hardcover copy of Mummy: The Curse as a kickstarter reward, your book has shipped and likely delivered by now. If you haven't received it yet, please check your tracking and confirm that it's still en route. Sometimes I'll hear from backers that had no idea the book was being held at a local post office or had delivered to their next door neighbor. The courier and delivery companies keep tracking information for about 6 months, so if you've got any issues, please let me know as soon as possible so we can sort them out. See Contacting James below. By, let's say, August we may not have access to full tracking information. At that point, I'm going to assume that everything went fine, so if you have an issue please contact me as soon as possible.

STRETCH GOAL REWARDS STILL PENDING
