July 2026 Reward! TANGLED WEBS Backer PDF
2 days ago
– Wed, Jul 22, 2026 at 04:01:11 AM
Hello Accursed,
It hasn't yet been a month since our last reward update, but I'm back with another exciting announcement! Remember this one during our campaign?
We unlocked a handful of stretch goals that built this supplement covering liminalities and strange spaces. Well, it's time for the backer pdf to be sent out!
Reward Distribution: TANGLED WEBS Backer PDF
Walk down the right alley and you might end up in a liminality of dreamlike wonder.
Open the wrong door and you might end up in a liminality of unmitigated nightmare.
Liminal spaces are all around you in the Accursed world. Rival Families and Accursed power players claim them as territory, exploring their bewildering environments for magical Heirlooms, mystic allies, and monstrous foes. Whether a time-locked epoch, a carnivorous house, or a labyrinthine library of wishes and miracles, liminalities act as a potent lure for all Accursed.
Tangled Webs presents a wide collection of liminal spaces for use in your Curseborne games. From unusual interstitial zones to deadly shattered spaces, this book al contains liminalities players can add to their Aspirations and character histories, and even more for Storyguides to use as story centerpieces, mysteries to solve, and threats to escape.
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this Stretch Goal supplement was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Curseborne: Tangled Webs 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 24hours if either 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.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 Tangeld Webs 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, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Tangled WebsFeedback Form!
Onyx Path will be launching a special Curseborne: Tangled Webs Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here: https://forms.gle/THBK4fo63NSJR2d59
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 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 version of the book and you will receive a notice from Drivethru that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter 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!
Pledge Manager
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.backerkit.com
All of the physical items for our kickstarter are in the pre-production phase, with the Onyx Path team working with the printers and manufacturers to get it all delivered later this year. Everything seems on track to deliver as projected during the campaign. And then it'll just be about finishing off that digital wallpaper once anyone has a moment. Things are moving swiftly.

The rats and mice of the Realms of Pugmire make their homes in the margins of other cities. These connect to the Underneath, a vast maze of warrens, tunnels, caves, and other hidden places, much of which lies unknown and unexplored. It’s a dangerous place full of unexplained phenomena and terrifying creatures. But it is also full of wonders of ages past and the thrill of discovery.
Lair of the Rat Kings is a full campaign sourcebook detailing a new and exciting part of the realms of Pugmire: The Underneath. It contains not only everything you need to know about the Underneath, but also has information about making rodent player characters (along with their psychic powers), advice on how to run a subterranean campaign, a complete adventure, and a massive number of locations, set pieces, and encounters.

June 2026 Monthly Update
29 days ago
– Thu, Jun 25, 2026 at 07:59:27 AM
Hello Accursed,
Here's the quick summary:
hardcover and physical rewards are currently in the production pipeline. There's a lot of moving pieces - printing the corebook with two covers (standard and deluxe), the Storyguide screen, the Making Of book that goes in the slipcase edition, and the slipcase! And lining up the dice set as well. I think there's a lot of effort going into coordinating all of those to end up in the same place at the same time, and it's still gonna be a while. As far as I know, Onyx Path is still targeting fulfillment in the fall, and we'll get more definitive info as we get closer to that point. Once we know when all of the stuff will deliver to Onyx Path's distribution partners, I'll figure out our order/payment/address confirmation schedule. But that's still months away...
Stretch goals are still in progress. The big focus is on the Tangled Webs supplement. The interior illustrations have deliverd to Onyx Path and preliminary layout has begun. If any artwork sneaks out, I'll share previews in the next Updates while we wait.
ONYX PATH CON 2026 - CURSEBORNE PANELS
Wanna know more about the stuff we funded in this campaign and other stuff being worked on? Rich Thomas, Dixie Cochran, Matthew Dawkins, and Travis Legge discuss current and forthcoming releases for Curseborne!
And beyond to the next phase of Curseborne material! Rich Thomas, Dixie Cochran, Matthew Dawkins, Danielle Lauzon, and Eddy Webb discuss the forthcoming Curseborne Covenant!
If you're reading this, we're all on the brink of a massive Curseborne wave that'll be coming over the next few years. The backers that funded this got in on the ground floor (to mix metaphors) and your support and enthusiasm looks to have really inspired the Onyx Path team! Can't wait for all of this stuff!
That said, I promise to be patient while these bits are still getting sorted...
Pending Projects
Lots in progress as detailed up top. Everything is moving towards the projected fulfillment schedule planned at the start of the campaign, so hopefully no big bumps appear in the road. I'll continue to monitor and share info as it comes in.

May 2026 Update - OPP CON schedule
about 2 months ago
– Thu, May 28, 2026 at 10:18:47 AM
Hello Accursed,
No big dots to fill in this month, just ongoing incremental progress. The most important bit for many is the manufacturing timeline for our hardcover books and physical rewards. Right now, Onyx Path has been working with the printer to nail down all of the specs for the various formats for Curseborne, and also working on finishing up the stuff that will be printed at the same time - the Storyguide Screen and Making of Curseborne book - which will go in the slipcase edition. Somewhere in there should be the dice manufacturing as well. It's all to get everything needed to ship out your orders later this year.
While that's going on, work continues on the Tangled Webs supplement, which is still in the active "Art" phase of art direction. I sounds like a few pieces had to get recontracted to different artists but work is coming in.
In fact, here's a preview...
I have no idea what's happening there, but I know where you can find out! It's time for the OPP Con!
It's that time of year again! Onyx Path will be running their virtual gaming convention in a few weeks - FRIDAY JUNE 5 to SUNDAY JUNE 7.

Currently Crowdfuding
April 2026 Update
3 months ago
– Tue, Apr 21, 2026 at 07:05:06 AM
Hello Accursed,
Before I get to today's project check in, I want to tell you about the latest Curseborne project that'll get crowdfunded starting today.
Onyx Path is running a two week crowdfunding campaign to get the Curseborne Jumpstart into print and into game stores shortly after the corebook delivers later this year. This is an opportunity for backers to get it before stores, or to get the PDF version very, very soon. We're hoping to have the PDF out to backers by the end of June.
The lightning-fast crowdfunder for physical versions of the Curseborne Jumpstart starts tomorrow! It’s bigger than our usual jumpstarts, giving you everything you need to play a slice of Curseborne with The Wolf You Feed, an introductory adventure which follows an investigation into the disappearance of Rosa Rivers (which can also be used for Curseborne if you have the full rulebook). Also, if you loved the five iconic characters from the Curseborne Ashcan, the jumpstart will have updated and expanded versions of those characters in beautiful spreads with all the information players need.
Our corebook and the items around it are currently being prepared for manufacturing. Right now the team is reviewing the printer quotes to build a timeline. They've got some of the artwork for the Tangled Webs supplement done (see above!) and are assigning the remaining pieces so hopefully we'll see some more artwork from that soon (and then into layout!). Everything's moving along.
