Hello V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary Backers!
RichT here:
Our developers have gone over, reviewed, and applied corrections, from your errata notes, so thanks to all of you who posted!
Next, we'll be using those corrected files to create the physical Print on Demand printer files as well as the traditional printer files for your Deluxe books.
More news on those as we get them going.
Meanwhile...
If you missed it, we released the official Onyx Path Dice Rolling App a couple of weeks ago. Our App Devs have already made a bunch of upgrades and updates based on customer feedback, and there's more to come including additional dice styles.
Here are the links for the Apple and Android versions:

Our current Kickstarter for Changeling: The Lost 2nd Edition is mid-way through and rolling through Stretch Goals. You can check it out here if you're interested, thanks!

Beckett's Halloween Update!

Hello V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary backers!
RichT here:
Happy Halloween!
As a very special treat for you, I just finished sending out the messages containing links for the V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary backer PDF and also the V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary Wallpapers to all backers whose reward tier included them!
If you think you should have received a link message, but didn't, please first check to be sure the Reward Tier you pledged to contains a V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary PDF and/or the Wallpaper. Then, please check your message threads from BackerKit, and your spam folders before messaging me, but if you do have problems, we'll figure it out. You should also check the Digital Downloads section of your BackerKit page for the links.
Likewise, if you get your link(s) but for some reason the download isn't working, please contact DTRPG customer service before contacting me as I have no ability to engage on that aspect of getting you your reward(s). Either way, we will figure out any problems so you get your files. No worries!
As I mentioned in the message with the link, we encourage all backers to go to the stickied thread on our Onyx Path V20 forum to send notes on any technical mistakes you might find, including missing or incorrect backer credit names: http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/the-classic-world-of-darkness/vampire-the-masquerade/1154393-beckett-s-jyhad-diary-errata-thread
We'll be gathering up comments for the devs for at least two weeks, and then after that they'll need to go through the lists and make tweaks before we can create the PoD printer files, and put the PDF and PoD versions up for sale to the general public. And then we'll create the traditional printer files and get the Deluxe books started at that printer. Any tweaks we make to the PDF will be automatically updated and show up in your DTRPG library. All you'll need to do is re-download the PDF.
Thanks again for your patience as we made this amazing and much bigger than estimated V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary PDF!
September Beckett's Update!

Hello Deluxe Beckett's Jyhad Diary backers!
RichT here:
Right now Mirthful Mike Chaney, our Art Director and Visual Designer, is headed into the last stretch of the initial layout for final chapters of BJD. He has delivered previous chapters in groups to the developers for proofing, so that they can be doing that while he is finishing these last chapters.
We're able to do that both because of the specific chapter-based nature of Beckett's Jyhad Diary, and because our developers, Matthew and Neall, have both made several more passes through the text than we usually have developers take.
Just like last month, here are some example spreads from the book:
Ongoing V20 Projects:
In Layout
Prince’s Gambit – Remaining art is arting.
Beckett’s Jyhad Diary – Layouting.
Proofing
V20DA Jumpstart – At WW for approval.
Finally, here's a word about the latest project we are Kickstarting, Rose Bailey's Cavaliers of Mars!
Live, fight, and love on Mars, a world of red death and strange mystery, a world of savagery and romance.
Return now to dying Mars in its last age of glory. A planet of flashing swords and choking sands, of winking courtesans and lantern-lit canal cities.
Mars, where fortune and heartbreak are two sides of the same obsidian chit, where lost cities and dry oceans stretch between the last bastions of civilization. Where the First Martians, the monument-builders, are but a haunted memory. Where the Red Martians become decadent and reckless in their last days. Where the Pale Martians rule the wastes, remembering a history whose weight would crush a lesser people.
If that sounds interesting, we'd love to have you check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/cavaliers-of-mars-a-tabletop-roleplaying-game
Remember: Mars has canals... therefore, Mars must have Venice!

Thanks!

Hello Deluxe Beckett's Jyhad Diary backers!
RichT here:
This last month was GenCon50, and Onyx Path was there sneak-peaking beautiful page spread print-outs of BJD. Obviously, these are works still in progress, but they should give you an idea of the intricate layout efforts being done on this book:
Ongoing V20 Projects:
In Layout
- Prince’s Gambit – New Cards out for playtesting.
- Beckett’s Jyhad Diary
- V20 Dark Ages Jumpstart
Thanks!
July Beckett's Update

Hello V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary Backers!
RichT here:
Here's the Update on the continuing Stretch Goal and other V20 projects from our weekly progress updates in my Monday Meeting Notes blog on www.theonyxpath.com. Please check this weekly list out or join our Onyx Path Mailing List (sign up on the right side of the page on our website) to get the blog sent to you, if you have questions as to the status of projects.
Editing:
• V20 Dark Ages Jumpstart (Vampire: the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition)
Art Direction:
• V20 Dark Ages Jumpstart (Vampire: the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition) - yes, it's still in two places. Ideally, while the editing is happening, art is being created, so that the edited text and the finished art arrives in layout at the same time.
In Layout/Proofing:
• Prince's Gambit card game (Vampire: the Masquerade) - Clan cards went out for playtest. BackerKit site is up. New art is being worked on.
• Beckett’s Jyhad Diary – Working up a test chapter with the new text.
Finally, here is some info on our current Kickstarter project:
A new book of historical Dark Eras, intended for the Chronicles of Darkness, but designed to be fascinating reading regardless of your gaming interests. Each Era features two different game lines. We started the book with six Dark Eras, and backers have already unlocked a seventh - the Golden Age of Piracy!
Most importantly, backers are currently voting on which one of three other Eras to include in the book when the next Stretch Goal is met. Come on over and join in the fun:
