August 2026 Monthly Update

Hello Outlanders,
Nothing as exciting as our backer PDF this month, but a cool new entry in the Earthbane Cycle, so we'll get into that in a moment.
In the meantime, your feedback on the backer PDF has been collected and the developers have put together their list of corrections and clarifications and now it's just about hammering the bits into shape and setting up the final release on DriveThruRPG. Hopefully we'll see that next month.
With regards to the greater Eartbane Cycle line, the World below has some adventures finishing up in art direction that should be in layout before too long. Monster Kingdoms is in a similar situation, finishing up with the artists and has begun preliminary layout. And the next book in the Cycle is now crowdfunding:

Jadestorm is an epic game of adventure, vengeance, and power. You are a Jadebearer — an inheritor of one or more Jade cinders, fragments of destroyed demonic demigods — and it is for you to decide whether you use your powers to play the role of the glorious hero or wield them to become the most notorious of villains.
Learn from your master until you can defeat him.
Duel for Jade and best your rivals.
Venture into the Wilds and claim unconquered fragments of the Infernal Sovereigns.
The isolated nine realms of Eos are awaiting epic heroes and wicked villains to lead them into a new era. Will you bind the world in hope or drive its people fleeing into the Wilds?
Jadestorm is a complete tabletop roleplaying game of epic tales of adventure, vengeance, and power. It includes:
- A game of epic wuxia-inspired fantasy, where heroes make fantastic chained actions, command potent sorceries, and every plot feels dramatic.
- A huge number of playable characters.
- An alive setting encompassing nine realms and the dangerous Wilds.
- The entire action-packed Storypath Ultra system.

Reward Distribution! AT THE GATES Backer PDF
30 days ago
– Wed, Jul 29, 2026 at 08:17:19 AM
Hello Outlanders,
BIG NEWS! It's here!
AT THE GATES Backer PDF
On the continent of Everend in the world of Gaia, magic suffuses everything, keeping all in harmony. The seven nations of Everend maintain peace after centuries of struggle - a peace now rapidly deteriorating. In an explosive demonstration of power, one nation shattered reality by calling forth daemons from the Void. Now, all nations rush to gain daemonic magic for themselves. The Void spills through gates and collides with Gaia's magic, creating Void-tainted landscapes that transform the wildlife inside into ravenous beasts that rove across Everend. Meanwhile, the common folk go about their daily lives fearing the brutality of war and the deamons' incomprehensible power.
The balance has been upened. Everend needs heroes to stop the march of destruction and to help people understand their place in the new world.
Will you heed the call?
At the Gates is the core rulebook for a high fantasy game inspired by Japanese RPG video games.
Inside you will find:
- Details on the setting of Everend and the political struggles of the nations that inhabit it.
- Five professions that define your character's role within the playgroup.
- Rules for creating characters, running the game, and playing using Storypath Ultra.
- Information on exciting monsters found throughout the world, and the daemons that inhabit the Void.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this book was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your
AT THE GATES Backer 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
The best 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. You may have to click the link twice to get it to show up in your cart.
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward 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://at-the-gates.backerkit.com and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of At the Gates 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. 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.
Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they 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 Crowdfunding 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 backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!

Work continues on Encore (the companion book) and A Daemon's Bargain (the jumpstart) but no dots to fill in yet.

Hello Outlanders,
We're getting close! Our book has entered the "proofing" stage and rounds of reviews and tweaks and hopefully some eventual approvals before it makes it's way to us as the backer PDF. As soon as it's approved and ready, I will be sending it out! Hopefully that'll happen in July or early August.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the current and future plans for At the Gates from Onyx Path's recent Online Gaming Convention!
