Latest Updates from Our Project:

REWARD! THE WOLF YOU FEED Backer PDF and all Add On PDFs
17 days ago – Fri, May 22, 2026 at 09:22:39 AM

Hello Jumpers,

Just over a month ago, we launched this Crowdfunding campaign to turn the rough draft of the Curseborne jumpstart into a PDF and softcover book. Nearly 450 fans came out to support this and made it happen in a quick two-week campaign.

Earlier this week, we launched the Pledge Manager for the post-campaign phase and started sending out backer surveys to everyone who pledged their support.

And today, to continue our rapid run for this project, I've got rewards ready to go out to you.

But not just the existing PDFs that were Add On options during the campaign (though I've got those too!), but our primary reward - the Curseborne Jumpstart: The Wolf You Feed!

Reward Distribution: CURSEBORNE JUMPSTART: THE WOLF YOIU FEED Backer PDF



Curseborne is a game about being unaplogetic monsters in a world where being monstrous is the least of your worries. In Cursborne, you play as Accursed, descendants of monstrous lineages lurking in a modern world that closely resembles our own. You rebel against the ancient feuds between these entwined families, as well as against the web of curses that binds you, while fending off inhuman antagonists seeking to claim - or reclaim - your power.

Inside this jumpstart you will find:

  • Complete rules for playing a Curseborne adventure using the Storypath Ultra system.
  • The Wolf You Feed, an introductory adventure which follows an investigation into the disappearance of Rosa Rivers.
  • Five complete player characters, cover a range of achetypical monsters.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION


If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Curseborne Jumpstart 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




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://curseborne-jumpstart.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 the Curseborne Jumpstart 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. You may have submitted feedback during the draft manuscript phase - anything submitted now will be added to that list to help the team finalize the PDF for release and prepare for the softcover print run.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Curseborne Jumpstart Feedback Form!

Onyx Path will be launching a special The Wolf You Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/kDXdc7mtuXM58ibBA


They are aware of any Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.

Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for one week only. 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 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!

ADD ON REWARDS 

In addition to the Curseborne jumpstart, the following Add On rewards from our Crowdfunding campaign are now available for distribution:

  • Curseborne core rulebook PDF
  • Accursed Tales - Fiction Anthology
  • Curseborne Tasty Bits Anthology PDF
  • Curseborne Accursed Adventures PDF
  • Storypath Ultra Core Manual PDF
  • Onyx Path Jumpstart PDF Assortment (11 titles)

It's basically these Add On otions from our campaign page:

The redemption codes will come over the next day. You'll receive an e-mail if you have any of these rewards on your rewards list, sending you to the Digital Rewards page on your Pledge Manager. The Digital Rewards page will have redemption links to add the PDF files to your DriveThru cart at $0 cost.

You may need to click the links two or three times to get them to add to the cart properly. In my experience, the first click ends up getting me to login to my DTRPG cart and I have to click the redemption link a second time while my cart is open to properly add it (in a new tab, usually). Just keep trying, you'll get there!


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://curseborne-jumpstart.backerkit.com/


MONTHLY UPDATES

With the Pledge Manager up and running, in June I'll have our first "regular" update for our project. I'll send these updates out every month to let you know where we sit. 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.

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.

Each month, I'll list our "Pending" rewards and our "Delivered" rewards. We'll track the project status of our pending rewards by filling in the stage dots, and I'll note which update (and include a link) with each delivered reward, in case you want to go back and re-read the relevant update for more information. If any of these rewards were on your pledge list, you can access download codes in your BackerKit Digital Rewards page. And once they've been added to your DriveThruRPG library, you can access them through your DTRPG digital library at any time.

That's for the end of next month, though. For now, enjoy PDFs!!

Pledge Manager Surveys Coming This Week!
20 days ago – Wed, May 20, 2026 at 08:13:52 AM

Hello Jumpers,

It's just been a few weeks since our Crowdfunder ended and now it's time to start the next phase of the project - the Post-Campaign, where we track the progress of the various projects we helped fund and send out rewards as they become available.

To help with all of that we use BackerKit's Pledge Manager.

Today's Topics

  • BackerKit Pledge Manager Surveys Coming Soon 
  • Digital Reward Redemptions Coming Next 




BACKER SURVEYS

Over the next handful of days (May 20 - May 22), you’ll receive an email from Onyx Path (via [email protected]) with a special link to your Pledge Manager survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey (although you probably already have one from pledging to this campaign). When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey invitation link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available later this week via email!

The e-mail will have a button that looks something like this:



After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts, and that won't happen until the books are being prepped for backer distribution.

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://curseborne-jumpstart.backerkit.com/

If you have any other questions or concerns, you can post them to the comments for this update, the comment section, or message me via one of these methods:

TO CONTACT JAMES

  •  Via E-Mail: Onyx.Kickstarter [at] gmail.com
  •  Via BackerKit: Click "Need Help?" from your page, and then fill in the Contact Us form. BackerKit will pass your message along to me.

If there are any issues you find with the Pledge Manager, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know. It rolls out in waves so that I can correct issues on the fly and make it work as best possible as people come on board.

I've been mostly in a zombie state over the pst few weeks, and the chances of a few errors in the Pledge Manager set up are ... greater than zero ... so let me know if you see something off and I'll fix it as quickly as possible.


Within the BackerKit Survey and Pledge Manager, you can:

  • Review your Pledge Tier Selection and Rewards
  • Upgrade your Reward Tier pledge selection
  • Confirm Add On selections
  • Set up payment information for softcover reward shipping, any failed payments from the Crowdfunding campaign, or to pay for any new Add On options selected.

When you click on your BackerKit invitation link, you should see something like this...





From the Pledge Manager welcome page you can choose to

  • Review Your Pledge Level and Rewards by clicking your Pledge Level title
  • Start Your Survey, confirming pledge rewards, confirming or selecting new Add On options, and confirming any shipping and payment info that may be needed
  • Switch Your Pledge Level

If you click on your Pledge Level, you will see a list of all items included in your Pledge Rewards (including Stretch Goals and the Draft Manuscript), and also have the option to switch your Pledge Level, in case you've decided to get the corebook combo pledge instead of a PDF-only pledge tier for example.



Once you've confirmed that your Pledge Level is correct and where you want it to be, you can GET STARTED with your BackerKit Pledge Manager Survey.

PLEDGE QUESTIONS

There are a couple of moving pieces that I've added for this one.

As noted, the goal is to get the Curseborne Jumpstart backer PDF out to you quickly, and then get the softcover book in production. If all goes well, it could possibly deliver to our fulfillment partners in a timeframe that might make it possible to ship the softcover with the Curseborne hardcover books that many of you pledged for during that Kickstarter campaign. 

If you backed the Curseborne corebook Kickstarter campaign and pledged for the softcover book Printed Start pledge, you'll have an option on your survey to get the softcover from this campaign moved over to the pledge manager for the Curseborne corebook and shipped together. It's a manual process, and I think I can swing it, but want to make sure I'm only adjusting those orders were I have your approval to do so. We'll see how it all goes, and I'll keep you updated as I work on it.

Anyone who pledged to the Corebook Start Print combo is set to receive a standard hardcover version of the Curseborne corebook. In your survey, you'll have the option of trading up to the Deluxe and paying the difference. Just making sure options are available for backers.

Once we've got a fair response to our survey and collected a reasonable amount of info, I'll be working on fulfilling rewards that are available now - like the PDFs of the titles included in our Add On section (those are the Curseborne corebook PDF, the Storypath Ultra Core Manual PDF, the Tasty Bits Omnibus PDF, the Accursed Adventures PDF, the Accursed Tales digital fiction anthology, and the Onyx Path jumpstart assortment PDF bundle). Those will likely be coming to you by the start of next week, and I'll send another update with more info when that time comes.

So, in summary:

  • Look for an e-mail invitation to BackerKit's Pledge Manager sometime over the next 1-3 days
  • Get Started on your survey
  • Confirm your Pledge Level (or SWITCH your Pledge Level if you want to change it)
  • Confirm and Select Any Add On options
  • Confirm Your Payment Information (if needed)

I will post an update at next week as I begin outlining the delivery of our first Add On rewards (the existing title PDFs, as noted above) and beginning distribution of those PDF rewards.

THE WOLF YOU FEED - A CURSEBORNE JUMPSTART

Our main reward, the Curseborne jumpstart, is currently in proofing. I anticipate sending out the Backer PDF for this very soon - like before the end of the month. Because it's coming so quickly, I'm not going to worry about setting up a new download for the manuscript - the downloads we featured during the campaign are availble to backers at the bottom of this page on the Crowdfunding website. Soon, we'll have the Backer PDF as our primary source!


COMING NEXT

Either at the end of this week or start of next week I'll send an update with details about the distribution for that first wave of existing digital rewards. 

At the end of June we'll begin our regular monthly check-ins, tracking the progress of this project as it moves through this phase. It'll take some time, but we'll have regular updates all through the process. I'll also have notes on how to check the weekly and monthly All Project Progress updates on Onyx Path's website.

The Wolf Has Been Fed
about 1 month ago – Tue, May 05, 2026 at 11:07:35 AM

Hey Jumpers,

A two-week campaign, built for speed! Many of you jumped in early and we funded in minutes, and then word kept spreading and more and more backers jumped on over these past weeks. We even had alittle Backer Train going at the end that took us past our planned end time! Fun!!

Working together and supporting Onyx Path, the Curseborne jumpstart is going to make a pretty rapid transition from manuscript to PDF and once we've all reviewed that and submitted our feedback, they're going to start work on turning it into a softcover book.


There's more to celebrate! Not only did we fund the project on the first day, we unlocked all three Stretch Goals over the campaign. 



Achieved!! - At $1,000 in Funding - STREAMING OVERLAY

STREAMING OVERLAY - A set of themed overlays for your online game will be created, for your use when streaming your Curseborne session. This will be added to the rewards list for all backers.





Achieved!! -At $3,000 in Funding - STORYGUIDE REFERENCE PDF

STORYGUIDE REFERENCE PDF - The PDF version of the Curseborne Storyguide Reference screen will be added to the rewards list of all backers pledged to receive the Curseborne Jumpstart softcover book.





Achieved!! -At $6,000 in Funding - VTT TOKEN PACK

VTT TOKEN PACK - Digital assets will be created to support online play for the Curseborne Jumpstart, including key character and creature tokens from the book. This online asset pack will be added to the rewards list of all backers


So a huge congratulations to Onyx Path and the team on this project, and to all of the backers who've joined in to make this possible. I'm happy about the goals we hit and rewards we introduced, but I'm also always excited and delighted about having nearly 450 backers join in to support this game, especially with a such a fast campaign.



COMMUNICATION

So, as noted in today's earlier update, I'll be sending out updates once a month and whenever we've got a new goal, survey, or other item to cover. If you have any questions or need clarification on something related to the campaign, feel free to get in touch. I may take a bit to answer as I recover from these past two weeks and take some time to unwind and clean up my desk!


TO CONTACT ME

  • Via E-Mail: Onyx.Kickstarter [at] gmail.com
  • Via BackerKit: Click "Need Help?" from your forthcoming survey page, and then fill in the Contact Us form. BackerKit will pass your message along to me.

FINAL HOURS: CHECKLIST & WHAT COMES NEXT
about 1 month ago – Tue, May 05, 2026 at 04:09:56 AM

Hello Jumpers!

Welcome to the final hours of this campaign! We've had a fast and fun ride - this two week campaign has really sped by.





FINAL DAY CHECKLIST

Whether you're just jumping into Curseborne for the first time or adding to your growing collection, these are some good topics to review over these final hours...

1.  KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING

The Wolf You Feed is the Curseborne Jumpstart, an 80-page introduction to the Curseborne roleplaying game. Containing pre-made Accursed characters, all the rules you need to play this scenario, and an introductory scenario deisgned to get you started and give you plot seeds to continue growing your own story. It's a jump-in point to the larger Curseborne RPG line. 

Backers can read the entire current drafts of the manuscripts <HERE>. Please make sure you read the manuscript before the campaign concludes so you know exactly what you're pledging to support.


2. PLEDGE TIERS and ADD ONS

 This update breaks down your best starting point for figuring out which Backer Reward Tier to choose to help support this project in a way that works for you.

The main reward offered in this campaign is, of course, the main goal of the entire proposition: perfect-bound softcover version of the book. The first decision you need to make is whether you're just looking to get the softcover delivered to you before it goes out to retail stores, or sticking with the digital only and staying with the PDF tier? 

With that decision in mind, we've got a few reward tiers to choose from:

A DIGITAL START

This is the PDF-only reward path. So, if you're saving trees or saving shelf space - or avoiding the shipping charges that are absolutely ever-increasing - this is the reward path option that you should begin with. The PDF will be fulfilled by our partners at DriveThruRPG.com - when it is ready, you will receive a link to add it to your DTRPG library at no cost for you to download at your leisure.

A PRINTED START

Our main focus for this campaign, this reward path includes the traditionally-printed softcover version of this book. Shipping costs ARE NOT included in the cost of your pledge. You will be charged for shipping after the campaign through the pledge manager. In addition, this option also includes the PDF version, so you will get a digital copy as described above.

Need the Curseborne Core Rules as well? They form the system upon which the Curseborne Jumpstart is built. We've set up these one-click pledge options to get you started! If you don't already have a copy of the Curseborne corebook, you soon will by choosing any of these reward paths.

COREBOOK START DIGITAL COMBO

A digital entry into Cruseborne, this pledge path contains PDF versions of both the Curseborne Jumpstart as well as the Curseborne Core Rules.

COREBOOK START PRINT COMBO

This pledge path will get you both the PDF and softcover book for the Curseborne Jumpstart as well as Curseborne Core Rules PDF and standard hardcover book. Quantities are limited, and shipping costs are not included in your pledge and will be added prior to fulfillment in the Pledge Manager.

ADD-ON OPTIONS -  The other half of our Reward Tiers update, including information on the second step of pledging. There are a few Add On options that you can add as part of your pledging process, including the Curseborne Deluxe Hardcover Edition, the Accursed Adventures scenario PDF, or the Accursed Tales digital fiction anthology, plus the Curseborne Tasty Bits compilation which features a dozen new adversaries for your game. We also have a few other books that feature the same system as Curseborne - the Storypath Ultra Core Manual PDF, and They Came From the RPG Anthology! PDF.

ADD ON selections will be available in the post-campaign Pledge Manager as well.

SO: Ensure that you've selected the Reward Tier you want, and select any Add On options you wish to include. AND - make sure that you are comfortable with the Pledge amount, in terms of it covering everything you want and the affordability of the pledge at this moment!




Be Financially Responsible

I'm going to speak against my own self-interest for a moment, and repeat something I say at the end of every campaign - 2026 has been pretty wild so far, and there's even more uncertainty ahead. Ensure that your circumstances enable you to afford this pledge at this moment - BackerKit will begin processing payments late tonight after the campaign ends and neither Onyx Path nor I have any involvement in that process. If you are unsure of your financial situation but don't want to miss out, please pledge for a tier you can afford right now and know that you will be able to upgrade to open pledge levels in our post-campaign Pledge Manager for some time before the book is completed. There are no refunds for regret, and the funds raised start being spent immediately on paying for the work done thus far and the additional work ahead plus the projects unlocked via Stretch Goal. So please be financially responsible.

  • Choose a Reward Tier You Can Afford
  • Read the Manuscripts and Make Sure You Know What You're Getting
  • Be Aware of the Projected Delivery Date (Onyx Path will try to deliver earlier than this, but these two books will take some time to get perfect, and we're dealing with an imperfect world. Schedules sometimes go awry)

3. PAYMENT AND CONTACT INFORMATION

Once you're comfortable with your pledge, please ensure that the payment and contact information in your BackerKit account is up to date and correct. Making sure your e-mail is entered correctly and your credit card isn't expired will speed up the next step process. (I have learned from experience!)



4. OVERTIME MODE

Overtime Mode extends the campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge and adds an interesting twist to the end of the campaign. How long will it extend? That’s entirely up to backers: The campaign will keep going for an additional 10 minutes as long as pledges keep coming in – a chain of back-to-back pledges is called the Backer Train. The campaign will end only when the Backer Train stops after a period of 10 minutes passing without any pledges.

You’ll know we’re in Overtime Mode when the campaign’s Backer Train counter displays a bright rainbow border and a new countdown that resets to 10 minutes after each new backer joins that final Backer Train ride.

So, we've scheduled the campaign to conclude on May 5th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, but it'll be extended in 10 minute chunks as long as backers keep pledging. Will we add an extra 10 minutes? An extra 20? Or will it all finish up as planned? Who knows, but we'll find out together! Even as we finish, there's an opportunity for a new start!

WHAT COMES NEXT?


5. AFTER THE CAMPAIGN ENDS

First, we celebrate. The campaign page will subtly change, locking out the ability to pledge and showing the final totals. We'll give socially-distanced high fives and digital fist bumps in the Community section and over on Discord.

Then, the BackerKit payment process begins. Starting late tonight and continuing over the next week, Backerkit will begin charging your payment methods for the total amount you've pledged.

If there is an issue with your payment method (expired credit card or incorrect number or pre-paid Visa awaiting funds, for example), BackerKit will keep trying to process payment during this time.

Once this step is done, which will likely be by the mid-May, BackerKit will confirm everything with Onyx Path and I can begin to set up the project in the Pledge Manager and load in all of the campaign data.



In addition to providing the crowdfunding platform for this campaign, BackerKit is also Onyx Path's regular Pledge Manager partner.

BackerKit provides a robust fulfillment integration and pledge management program that will allow us to work with all of the data and distribute the rewards to you. It will take me about a week to set the project up. Once I've got it all entered and built, the team from BackerKit will review to ensure I didn't mess anything up too badly, and then I'll make any changes they've suggested and we can move on to the Survey stage.

6. BACKERKIT SURVEYS

Once BackerKit says I'm good to go, I will send out a survey to all backers. This is why confirming your e-mail is important!

The BackerKit survey is both a verb and a noun - it will collect data for the analysis of some aspect of a group (enabling Onyx Path to set schedules, prioritize new projects, and fine-tune future campaigns), as well as providing a general review or summary of the reward tier you've chosen, confirm all of the rewards associated with that reward tier, and confirm your total pledge amount.

I expect Surveys to go out before the end of May 2026.

During the Survey period, you can choose to increase your reward tier and add on additional options. If you've found $20 in your spring coat or found an alternate income source and decide it's time to trade up to include the softcover or include another add-on, you can do so at this time. Note, you will not be able to reduce your reward tier selection, only increase.

If you selected Add On options, they'll be added to your reward list automatically.

Note that you'll be able to upgrade your pledge tier for a bit - until we're ready to distribute The Wolf You Feed rewards. So don't feel pressure to have it all figured out right away - we'll make sure there's plenty of time to get it all sorted before the books go out.

7. REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Once the surveys are up and running, I'll prepare fulfillment for the existing rewards - the Add On options that are all currently available, like the Curseborne core rulebook PDF, and the Tasty Bits, Accursed Adventures, Accursed Tales, plus the other Storypath Ultra books. Depending on how smoothly the Pledge Manager process goes, those should be out fairly soon after the survey stage starts. So, let's say the existing PDF rewards will be out to you by the start of June. That's only the beginning, though.

Eventually, we will have a completed PDFs of The Wolf You Feed - the Curseborne Jumpstart. Onyx Path is working hard to get the PDF ready for backers as quickly as possible. Together, we'll will take some time to distribute, review, and compile any errata or corrections that need to be made. When they've made any necessary changes, they'll make an updated versions of the PDFs available in your DriveThruRPG digital library and then begin creating print-ready files for the Print-on-Demand hardcover versions.

It's yet another long road ahead, likely full of twists and turns and surprises, but one that we wouldn't be undertaking if not for your ongoing support.

So - one final time - please spread the word to any potential backers and fans, and thanks so much for a great campaign!

The Wolf You Feed
about 1 month ago – Mon, May 04, 2026 at 06:19:19 AM

May the Fourth Be With You, Jumpers -

Today is our final manuscript preview day. With today's download link, the entire draft manuscript for the Curseborne Jumpstart is now available for you to read - before any pledges are processed or payments collected. From this point forward, you're on the inside and part of the community of this book right until it's in your hands (or on your screens) and being played at your table.

Before we jump into that, let's jump back a bit and go over a few things to make sure we're all on the same page.

Make sure you read last Friday's update post about Pledge Tiers and Add Ons. We've about 30 hours to go as I type this up, likely less when you read it, so make sure you're all set up before we get to the end. 

I'll have one more post tomorrow before we finish up, sort of a checklist to go over and some notes on what to expect after the campaign ends.

The Campaign ends on May 5th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time... sort of.

Overtime Mode

Overtime Mode extends the campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge and adds an interesting twist to the end of the campaign. How long will it extend? That’s entirely up to backers: The campaign will keep going for an additional 10 minutes as long as pledges keep coming in – a chain of back-to-back pledges is called the Backer Train. The campaign will end only when the Backer Train stops after a period of 10 minutes passing without any pledges.

You’ll know we’re in Overtime Mode when the campaign’s Backer Train counter displays a bright rainbow border and a new countdown that resets to 10 minutes after each new backer joins that final Backer Train ride.



Shipping Costs will be Collected in the Pledge Manager

This book will be a little lighter than many of the big deluxe books that Onyx Path has been shipping recently, but shipping is still expensive, especially going out around the world from Onyx Path's home base in the USA. We've recently partnered with GMS Hobby Game Logistics out of the UK to handle fulfillment to UK and EU backers, and that will help with the costs and speed getting to backers.

The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front with our best shipping cost estimates (see our projections on the main page - I've already factored in the EU's upcoming low value parcel charge) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you aren't sure you want one of the softcover editions, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.



The Wolf You Feedback

As noted, with these draft versions, you're able to share feedback directly with the Curseborne Crew as they walk the project through the final stages of development and production. There may be a few weird formatting things - this "draft manuscript" is actually the text pulled out of the layout in progress, so we may get a few repititions and weird artifacts. And any errata you submit may not show up corrected until after the first-round backer PDF goes out, but it's all being compiled, so your keen eyes are appreciated. Here's the Feedback Form for you to submit your errata:  https://forms.gle/24ghLqRxkxtoCJpP9




You can access the Feedback Form here: https://forms.gle/24ghLqRxkxtoCJpP9
