Hello Anthologists,
Welcome to our first update of 2024! We've got a long road ahead of us, and a lot of these updates will be pretty similar, but I'll try to make it interesting when I can. I'll have a quick peek at some of the new material from our book around March, but until then, let's get to our regular status check in...
REWARDS STILL PENDING
No big changes, the artists are off working on their bits of the book and it'll be a bit before all of the art is in and layout can begin. We'll follow along and keep an eye on it, and I'll also work on getting those other bonus rewards out to you while we wait.

Nov '23 Monthly Update

Hey Anthologists,
I've got a small update for you this month! Last month, I shared that I wasn't sure how far along the new sections for our book were on the production path, but the amazing Matthew Dawkins let us know that all of the new chapters were written and the massive manuscript is coming together! So, I've updated our reward progress track graphic and filled in a bunch of dots!
Other fun news for those backers who added either the They Came from the Cyclops's Cave! PDF and/or the They Came from [CLASSIFIED]! PDF. The Advance PDFs for both of those releases are out now and off to backers who added them on during the campaign or in the BackerKit Pledge Manager. A quick note that these are Advance PDFs before being released for purchase, so there are still some "see page XX" notations and minor bits that will be corrected, and you will be able to download the final final in your DriveThruRPG library once it's released updated.

Never before has Creation known the perils of the Abyssal Exalted. They have emerged from the gloom of the Underworld as champions of death, sworn to the service of the Deathlords and the Neverborn. Each was offered the gift of the Bleak Exaltation at the moment of their own demise, and each chose to willingly become an agent of the apocalypse. Their motivations are as manifold as any others — they may seek destruction or domination, malice or justice, ancient secrets hidden and forbidden or sheer iron-willed survival.
In service to their lieges, these deathknights will grind the Underworld to heel and scour life from the face of Creation. Or…they might break from those oaths and set themselves up as death’s own Lawgivers, ruling empires of the dead as sages, arbiters, and reapers. All that can be known for sure is that with the Abyssal Exalted loosed upon the world, it will never be the same again.
October '23 Monthly Update

Hey Anthologists,
It's time for our monthly update! I'm gonna be honest with this one, I'm not 100% sure on the status of our big reward. I know that we had our pre-written chapters and those were in editing, but then in the campaign we added a bunch of new chapters (you can read about which ones here) so in my tracking I've flagged the book as "Outlines" since we're waiting on drafts of those new chapters to come in.
However, on the Onyx Path tracking list, the book is listed in "Editing." Now, I believe that's a reference to the existing chapters that were done before the Kickstarter campaign rather than the new chapters, which would have sped along amazingly fast to already be in editing. So, for now, I'm still calling it "Outline Phase" but I'll reach out to the Onyx Path team for clarification before next month's update.
All of that said, I don't have any big news to share this month, so let's get to it!

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDUNG
The World Below is a game of adversity, heroism, terror, and awe. Your characters will overcome or be defeated by terrible beasts, environmental calamities, and Kaos storms ravaging their surroundings and the souls around them. They will chart their journeys, chronicle their tales, and pass their stories down to their descendants, who will in turn become your characters when your old ones perish or retire.
The World Below provides. But you must dig. You must explore. You must map. You must build. You must defend.
The World Below provides, but only to the worthy.
The unworthy fall, consumed by bugs, lava, acidic fog, the vagaries of Kaos, and the World Below’s convulsing tunnels.
The World Below is your home, your prison, and your alien world containing terrible threats and wondrous discoveries.
The World Below is a complete tabletop roleplaying game, and includes:
Numerous playable options, some from the traditional fantasy mold, others unique to the World Below.
The complete Storypath Ultra System, allowing you to play this game straight from the book.
A myriad of settings, monsters, powers, and abilities for use in your stories, which you can play as minimalist dungeon crawls or World Below-spanning expeditions.

Not all updates will be quite so verbose - in fact, this one will be quick and to the point!
So let's get to it!
