Hello Squeaky Toys,
It's time for our first month end update for 2022! We're still quite some time from the projected release date listed on our Kickstarter campaign from last year, but I think the pieces are coming together quickly, so hopefully we'll get some early rewards later in the year. Fingers (and whiskers, and claws, and wings) crossed, we may get lucky in '22!
REWARDS STILL PENDING
REWARD TRACKING - PENDING
[Pledge] Squeaks in the Deep PDF - Early Layout phase
[Pledge] Squeaks in the Deep Hardcover book
[Pledge] Squeaks in the Deep Discounted Print-on-Demand Link

Rich has modified the way he's running the Project Tracking this year. At the end of each month, Onyx Path will be posting an update showing the current status of all of their projects and where each sits on the project tracking chart. In the weekly Monday Meeting Notes blogs, Rich will note any projects that have changed status, sometimes with developer notes, since the big monthly summary.
Checking out those updates, I can see that the Jumpstart stretch goal is in the Second Draft phase, the Companion is in Editing (I'll double check with the team if this is only the Rabbits piece or if this also contains the Additional Underground setting material and see if I can't update you next month), and our main rulebook is proceeding in Layout, with various new symbols designed for the book.
I will continue to post an update each month until every reward has gone out.

ONYX PATH CROWDFUNDING IN 2021
Another challenging year. While there were some moments of taking two steps forward and one step back, at least there was some forward momentum. Onyx Path spent the previous year restructuring and adapting their processes to better function during the pandemic, but still external issues presented (and continue to present) challenges. Paper shortages, manufacturing difficulties, shipping and storage problems. The new normal.
Despite all of that, Onyx Path was able to get some products out, at least digitally, during the year.
While the massive paper shortage and manufacturing issues kept many of these from seeing print in 2021, they're all currently scheduled to attain physical form in early 2022. Here's hoping the process keeps moving forward and we can finally ship these rewards. Even with that caveat, that's still a pretty impressive list of stuff that's out and available to play.
Another solid year and another batch of fun and interesting projects added to Onyx Path's future release list. In supporting these during the crowdfunding phase, we've also managed to add these extra projects to the schedule:
Scion: Dragon Companion
Scion: Dragon Jumpstart
Whispers from the Darkness (Masks of the Mythos Companion)
Victorian Mage Jumpstart
Bizarre Tales & Unusual Characters
Weird Wonders & Revolutionary Magick
Trinity Continuum: Adventure! Jumpstart
Adventure Addendum
Thrilling Tales
Exalted: Essence Novella Trilogy
Exalted: Essence Jumpstart
Exalted: Essence Adventure Scenario Trilogy
Exalted: Essence Companion
Squeaks in the Deep Companion
Squeaks in the Deep Jumpstart
Icons of Rage
Howls of the Apocalypse
Anima Companion
That's a long list of supplements and expansions that wouldn't exist without your support!
I hope your year ends well, and all the best for 2022!

October 2021 Update

– Sat, Oct 30, 2021 at 11:05:56 PM
Hello Squeaky Toys!
Here I am sneaking in on the final few days of the month to start our regular month end update process. As I've mentioned before, I'll be sending out a Status Check-in at the end of every month, just to keep communication constant and consistent and keep everyone on the same page.
No mouse ears this time!
We're still in the earliest stages of this post-campaign, where projects make incremental movements along the progress path. A lot of months will be pretty similar, just a quick note to let you know that the Onyx Path team is still working on it. Any time we have a new reward or something of interest to share, I'll include that as well.
PLEDGE MANAGER REMINDER
Most of you have confirmed your rewards, selected any Add Ons, and entered your information. No worries on setting shipping info - we'll confirm a bunch by the time we actually approach our shipping schedule, so plenty of time to update as becomes needed. But, it's important to review your pledge and confirm add on rewards.
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://squeaks-in-the-deep.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://squeaks-in-the-deep.backerkit.com/faq
At the end of each month, I'll include a summary of our rewards and their current status (they'll either be delivered or marked as still pending, possibly with additional details if I know more). I'll also list any relevant Update posts, in case you want to go back and check into something.

All of these project are currently in progress (even if some of that progress is just outlining and figuring out who's going to write what), and will be distributed as they're completed. Again, that'll all take a long, long time, but I'll continue to list all of our rewards and track whether they've been delivered or are still pending until every last one has gone out, 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.

Digital Reward Distribution - Existing PDFs going out this weekend!
over 2 years ago
– Sat, Sep 25, 2021 at 12:18:20 AM
Hello Squeaky Toys,
It's been just about ten days since we launched our BackerKit Post-Campaign Pledge Manager, and most of you have visited, confirmed your pledge as well as reviewing (and maybe adding on) Add On rewards. With that information, I've been able to set up and start allocation on some of our existing rewards (i.e., the Pugmire Core Rules PDF, Monarchies of Mau Core Rules PDF, and the Pirates of Pugmire PDF). An aside, these are some of my favorite RPG covers.
My digital reward look.
DIGITAL REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Many of the rewards for our kickstarter projects take a lot of time and effort to complete. Usually, the kickstarter is a means of moving the project from an idea (even when it's a mostly-fully-written idea) into the actual channel that turns it into a project/product. It'll be a while before we're ready to talk about delivery on Squeaksin the Deep, and even longer for our projects generated via Stretch Goals (the Rabbits supplement,theAdditional Underground Setting supplement , the VTT token packs,and the rest).
That said, there are a few rewards that are available now, as they were mostly add-on PDFs of existing products. And now we can work on getting those out to you over the weekend.
The following Add On Rewards WillBe Distributed This Weekend:
[Add On] Pugmire Core Rules PDF
[Add On] Monarchies of Mau Core Rules PDF
[Add On] Pirates of Pugmire PDF
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Your link to claim these digital rewards will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the weekend. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the hosts for these, 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.ph
Thebest way to ensure these redemption codes work smoothly is to log in to your DTRPG account first, and then click (or copy) the link shown in your BackerKit.
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for these rewards over the next 2 days if any of them are on your expected list of rewards. I'll be releasing them in waves, so don't panic if you only see a couple links at first... the rest are coming. (We're in a digital world, but there are still a lot of manual processes. And there are manylinks to go out!!)
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account:
Which is a good reminder for those who haven't yet logged in to BackerKit, and also those who will want to revisit and/or revise their survey (maybe you've decided to take another look at the Add Ons, now that they're going out?)
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://squeaks-in-the-deep.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://squeaks-in-the-deep.backerkit.com/faq
OK, that's a lot of stuff for a Friday night. I'll be back at the end of October with our regular, ongoing status check-ins. Keep an eye out for reward e-mails (coming over the next few days), and revisit your survey if you want to review your pledge rewards and confirm your Add On options.

Harano is the state in which a werewolf finds themselves, when they succumb to despair. Some Garou look dimly on such kin, believing it is no way to end a life. “Self sacrifice is the only true way to meet the Apocalypse!” they cry, as they rush into battle. Those in Harano merely pine for what once was, and what they believe never can be.
Except, they’re wrong.
W20: THEAPOCALYPTIC RECORD is a capstone book designed to conclude the Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition game line, tying up your stories and paving the way for what may come next...
The Apocalyptic Record includes:
Five chapters of in-character accounts, reports, songs, and tales from the heart of the Garou Nation, covering stories of grief and joy, battle and peace, spirits and kin.
Story hooks in every chapter to make the content within immediately usable at the gaming table.
A chapter dedicated to the Werewolf: The Apocalypse metaplot, and how to utilize it in your stories.
