Hello Kickstarter Coterie,
No major updates for this month, but wanted to make sure I continue my monthly update posts to track all of our rewards and continue to share any info about the project (and other Onyx Path projects) so we're all in the loop.
I just wanna keep this dream alive
I mean, no major project announcements or rewards, but I do have some new art from Let the Streets Run Red that I can share...

FINAL DAYS ON KICKSTARTER
Grab your friends and escape to another world!
You've found anenchanted portal — a transition point — between worlds. The portal, called a Crossing, takes you to a world you thought only existed in novels and films: a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize weary travelers, and unicorns prance through the forest. It is a world where humans join other peoples such as elves, trolls, dwarves, changelings, and the dreaded creatures who steal the night. It is a world of fantasy — of imagination.
May 2020 Update - and a Reward!

Hello Kickstarter Coterie!
Before we dig too deep into this May update, just want to let you know up front - Let The Streets Run Red IS NOT the reward going out with this update. I could already hear the quickened breathing and fast keyboard clicks when you saw the title... just want to give everyone a moment to catch their breath.
No Streets quite yet... soon, I hope!
I'll start by sharing Onyx Path's Actual Play spotlight for this week, because it's right on topic!
ACTUAL PLAY SPOTLIGHT: V5 THE SACRIFICE
The Onyx Path Actual Play Spotlight of the Week shines on the fine team over at Red Moon Roleplaying, who hosted an immensely popular actual play of The Sacrifice, from Chicago by Night.
The game’s Storyteller was Onyx Path's frequent freelance writer Klara Horskjær Herbøl, with Matthew Dawkins, Craig Austin, and Hjalmar Nordén as players. In this story, we see the dysfunctional coterie struggle with many moral and political quandaries, not the least of which is whether the Lasombra will be permitted to join the Camarilla!
Remember this Stretch Goal during the campaign? It was fairly early on, and we crushed it! Well, it's time to switch up your desktop wallpaper and stare at Chicago for a few months! And, honestly, in my case it couldn't come at a better time. I've been stuck at home and starting to get a little tired of seeing the same image.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Your links to claim your ChicagoBy Night Digital Wallpaper 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 links for the ChicagoBy Night Digital Wallpaper today 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://chicago-by-night-v5.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.
And now that we're moving another reward from Pending to Delivered, let's see where we stand...

I don't have any big update or info on Let the Streets Run Red yet, though it's listed as "In Art Direction" on the most recent Onyx Path progress blog. Fingers crossed we won't have to wait too much longer. But, to help pass the time, enjoy some Chicago Vampire goodness:

NOW ON KICKSTARTER
Welcome to the Future
As the third decade of the 21st century dawns, the Technocratic Union stands on the cutting edge of a future imperiled. As science and technology draw humanity closer than ever before, certain factions within the Masses display gross negligence, undermining the Union’s work and endangering the world for shortsighted gains. Despite global telecommunications, new frontiers in virtually every field of study, and an understanding of the universe only dreamed of by earlier generations, humanity faces threats on all sides.
Can You Save It?
Climate change threatens to destroy life as we know it. Religious fundamentalism breeds terror around the globe. Diseases, once eradicated in the developed world through vaccination, have returned due to antivaxxer movements. Totalitarian, nationalist governments rise as the Masses succumb to fear of the other. The world stands on the brink of destruction, and it is up to the agents and operatives of the Technocratic Union to save it…or be its ultimate destruction.
Technocracy Reloaded peels back the curtain and examines the role of the Technocracy in Mage 20th Anniversary Edition. The various Future Fates presented in Mage 20 are examined and this book introduces a few of its own. This book provides a detailed look at life within the Technocracy, expanded information on the Conventions, a wealth of equipment, Adjustments, and Procedures, a breakdown of the various shadow conspiracies and factions within the Technocratic Union, and tips for running your own Technocracy Chronicle.
Reward Distribution - Chicago Folios Print-on-Demand link
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Apr 01, 2020 at 04:34:40 PM
Hello Kickstarter Coterie,
Yep, I just sent out the month end update a few days ago. But, this is April now, and we're starting a new month off with a reward distribution. Not an elaborate April Fools prank (I'm definitely skipping that this year) - it's for real!
Remember this Stretch Goal during the campaign? It was the very final Stretch Goal that we unlocked:
Achieved! - NEW ADD-ON REWARD: PoD OPTION FOR CHICAGO FOLIO - A new Add-On Reward will be created. For +$5, backers will have the option of using StorytellersVault’s Print-On-Demand service to purchase a physical, printed copy of the Chicago Folio directly from their PoD partners at as close as we can get to the cost of printing and shipping. You must have the Chicago Folio PDF already included as one of your rewards to add on this reward.
Well, it's time to fulfill that reward!
Print-On-Demand Coupon Reward Distribution
If you grabbed the Add On for the discounted "near cost" PoD option for The Chicago Folios, you are now able to claim your reward. Check your rewards list if you're unsure! You should have a coupon link available in your BackerKit digital rewards locker for two different versions of the Print-On-Demand copies of this book.
I know that Storytellers Vault (and DriveThruRPG.com) are still currently fulfilling Print-on-Demand orders, but I don't know for how long, so you may want to act quickly in case their partner facilities get locked down soon.
You will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with a redemption link for the ChicagoFolios "Near Cost" Print-on-Demand option today 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://chicago-by-night-v5.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. For those who didn't add on this reward, keep an eye on Onyx Path's Monday Notes blog - they announce new releases for every Wednesday, and I'm sure this will be made available soon.
If you remember the options when Chicago By Night came out via PoD, there are two different versions of Print-On-Demand options available.
Standard Color Heavyweight uses a thick 70# white paper which has better page opacity. (that's "70 pound" for reference, but does not mean each page weighs 70 lbs!). Standard Heavyweight Color uses inkjet technology. (These are not the same inkjet printers you have at home - these are often as big or bigger than a car!) This option offers lower cost but the colors won't be as sharp or bright as a Premium Color book.
Premium Color Heavyweight uses the same 70# paper, but uses a digital offset press. This option offers superior color quality but is more expensive to produce.
(Remember to order via the coupon link in your BackerKit digital rewards locker, if you that was part of your rewards list! That link is your coupon and must be the first step in your PoD order.)
That's all for now! Stay safe!

Hello Kickstarter Coterie,
Despite all that seems to be going on, it's still Month End update time. I hope that everyone is keeping safe and doing their best under the circumstances. Nothing big to report this month, but I'll take a little bit of status quo with all of the chaos that's been swirling around lately.
Honestly, I just helped get my mother out of a stuck elevator. I'm kinda tired of these "adventures" for this year.
