In June, we launched our DriveThruRPG integration to power Instant Access Rewards on BackerKit, allowing creators to automatically deliver digital rewards to backers the moment they pledge, reserve, or follow a campaign before it ends.

Today, we’re bringing that same capability to BackerKit Pledge Manager.

Now, Tabletop RPG (TTRPG) creators who choose to fulfill their rewards through BackerKit Pledge Manager can seamlessly send their digital rewards directly into backers’ DriveThruRPG libraries after the campaign ends.

For backers, this means digital rewards land directly in their DriveThruRPG library. Their next adventure, right where they keep all the others.

For creators, this means no more manual fulfillment for post-campaign digital downloads. Connect your DriveThruRPG account once, then automate digital reward distribution for every campaign.

By expanding our DriveThruRPG integration into post-campaign fulfillment, the BackerKit Crowdfunding Platform now supports streamlined DriveThruRPG digital reward delivery across the entire campaign lifecycle – from pre-launch, live, to post-campaign fulfillment. It’s an end-to-end DriveThruRPG integration you’ll only find on BackerKit.

Manual fulfillment of digital rewards can lead to costly mistakes. From a mistyped email to a broken link, each error means a delayed reward and a support ticket from a disappointed backer.

BackerKit’s DriveThruRPG integration removes those steps entirely, granting the correct titles to every qualifying backer and notifying them of their available reward without leaving BackerKit Pledge Manager.

Key Benefits

  • Automate post-campaign digital reward delivery in just a few clicks
  • Avoid manual errors that can impact backer experience and your brand reputation
  • Deliver titles to backers’ DriveThruRPG libraries, no file links to lose
  • Connect once and use across every future campaign
  • Push file updates to every backer’s library, no re-uploading or resending

“On our Designers & Dragons: Origins campaign, we had nine different digital rewards to offer and a customer base enthusiastic about getting access to those rewards on their DriveThruRPG virtual bookshelf. Backerkit’s integration with DriveThru meant our backers gained instant access to all of their rewards without having to redeem each item separately, saving everyone time and keeping our backers happy with us and confident about our project.”

How It Works

For backers, the experience is familiar and frictionless:

  1. Once you start distribution and send notifications, backers receive a BackerKit notification email
  2. The email takes them to their BackerKit rewards page, where their DriveThruRPG reward is marked as sent to their library, along with any instructions you’ve added
  3. One click on Go to my DriveThruRPG library, then a quick login to DriveThruRPG, and they’re ready to play

Backers without a free DriveThruRPG account will be prompted to create one to access their library.
