Hello Beckett Backers!
RichT here:
All of the Deluxe V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary books have shipped so if you are having any issues with receiving your rewards, please use the Contact link in my bio accessed there on the right side of the KS page.
But please bear with me for the next couple of weeks, as response time will be slowed down because...
next week we're away at the Gen Con gaming convention in Indianapolis, and if you'll be attending the massive convention running August 2-5, come visit Onyx Path at Booth 501 and maybe check out the What's Up with Onyx Path? panel to see what's planned for the next year(s). We have a pretty exciting announcement that is definitely appropriate for our Beckett's audience that will go live in our brochure, in our booth, and at those panels in less than a week!
Meanwhile, At Our Current Kickstarter:
There's THREE DAYS LEFT for the Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition Kickstarter and we’ve funded the project and achieved twelve Stretch Goals so far! Thanks to all of our backers out there spreading the word! We are in good shape to be able to make a great looking hardcover edition, and get that into stores, even while we’re giving backers first look at the complete text and other fun benefits: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/geist-the-sin-eaters-2nd-edition
Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition includes all the rules you need to play as one of the Bound: Five Burdens reflecting the cause that pulled you back from the grave, five krewe Archetypes for building your own mystery religion, and the Haunts, Keys, and Ceremonies that provide the Bound with their macabre powers.
It also includes the Chronicle of the Dead, featuring the Sin-Eaters’ struggle against the all-consuming Underworld and a variety of terrifying threats. In addition, for the first time in the Chronicles of Darkness lines, ghosts are presented as playable characters.
Like I said, the game is already funded, and now we're working at unlocking Stretch Goals - including additional rules and setting material in a Companion book, Memento Mori. If you haven't already, come by and check us out and hopefully join in on the fun!
June Beckett's Update!

Hello Beckett's Backers!
RichT here:
Almost all of the Deluxe V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary books have shipped! If you're out of the US, though, your package may still be in transit.
In a little over a month, we'll be at Gen Con right next to White Wolf, and if all the omens are accurate, they'll have Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition for sale! Expect that we will have a cool joint VtM announcement at the con that we'll also be sharing in the rest of our social media. So if you are at Gen Con, we'd love to say hi! Stop by our booth and see what we're up to!
Meanwhile, At Our Current Kickstarter:
On Monday, July 2nd, 12 noon Eastern US time, we start the Kickstarter for Geist: The Sin-Eaters 2nd Edition for Chronicles of Darkness! If the very brief bit of info below sounds interesting, we'll have a lot more when the KS goes live - love to see you there!
In Geist: The Sin-Eaters, you play a person who died with a powerful burden on their soul — something they didn't accomplish in life, or something they never found. On the other side of the veil, they made a bargain with a powerful being called a geist, which returned them to the world of the living and to their own body, at the cost of a permanent bond between them and the geist. Now your character stands as a medium, with one foot in the world of the living and one in the world of the dead.
48 Hour Shipping Address Warning!

Hello Beckett's Backers!
RichT here:
The Deluxe V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary books have been printed, bound, and are now with our fulfillment shipper, where they wait in a warehouse with the Beckett's Screen and V20 Dice sets.
Which brings us to: 48 Hour Address Change Lock-Down Warning!
Next Wednesday, the 6th of June, I'll be locking down your addresses in BackerKit in preparation for shipping.
Please check your listed pledge rewards and your address before next week, and correct what you can like any address changes, or contact me if your rewards listed aren't what you were expecting. We need both of these things checked and resolved before the lock-down on Weds.
If changes come in after then, we do not guarantee they will be able to be resolved.
After Weds, I'll pull out your shipping info and get that to our fulfillment shippers, and they will start the process of boxing and labeling and getting the boxes out to shipping services. I expect, but am not promising, that everything will ship out in June.
Thanks!

Here's a pic of my advance copy:
You'll be able to appreciate the pocked and dented feeling of the front cover better in person, but it is really effective.
Which brings us to:
1 Week Address Change Lock-Down Warning!
Next Wednesday, the 6th of June, I'll be locking down your addresses in BackerKit in preparation for shipping. There will also be a 48 hour warning going out- but don't wait for that.
Please check your listed pledge rewards and your address before next week, and correct what you can like any address changes, or contact me if your rewards listed aren't what you were expecting. We need both of these things checked and resolved before the lock-down next Weds.
If changes come in after then, we do not guarantee they will be able to be resolved.
After Weds, I'll pull out your shipping info and get that to our fulfillment shippers, and they will start the process of boxing and labeling and getting the boxes out to shipping services. I expect, but am not promising, that everything will ship out in June.
We're a year off of our estimated date, but with everything that went on and the explosion of new material, I hope you'll agree that the wait for this gorgeous book is worth it!
Meanwhile, At Our Current Kickstarter:
Right now, our Kickstarter for Fetch Quest, a family friendly deck-building card game set in the Realms of Pugmire, is running on all four legs. We funded in less than a day and are now approaching our second Stretch Goal to add cats from the Monarchies of Mau to the starting characters available to take on the Fetch Quest.
If any of that sounds interesting, please come check out Fetch Quest here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/fetch-quest-a-deck-building-game-in-the-realms-of
Any backer can download a print-n-play version so that you can get started right away retrieving those treasures that Man has left behind!
April Beckett's Update!

Hello Beckett's Diary KS backers!
RichT here:
The Deluxe V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary books are being bound at this point, and the printer still expects to get them to our fulfillment shipper by the end of May. The Screen and the V20 dice are already there and waiting, so next month's Update will hopefully be the one where we start talking about finalizing addresses and all the pre-shipping stuff we need to get sorted before our shipper can start.
Two of our Beckett developers, Eddy Webb and Matthew Dawkins, have recently begun to host the Onyx Pathcast podcast along with fellow in-house developer Dixie Cochran. The three of them offer inside views of upcoming Onyx Path projects, interview other tabletop RPG creators, and generally have a good time hurling verbal quips at each other.
Here's the link to our blog post about the second episode: http://theonyxpath.com/episode-two-cool-kids-table
It's also available on Podbean, Google Play, and soon on iTunes!
Thanks!
