Project FAQ
Though Tarot-inspired, The Deck of Fates is actually an "Oracle Deck". The main difference between the two is that Tarot Decks use a standard 78-card system. But an Oracle Deck like ours can use a free-form 52-card structure -- meaning you don't need to understand Tarot to use this Deck effectively!
Yes! And any other game you want to play!
The Premium Deck and Standard Deck both use the same mechanics and same artwork. However, the Premium Deck features a heavier, more-durable card featuring gold foil finishes on the edges and artwork.
Each collaborator zine is a complete adventure in a variety of systems created by publishers we work with. Initially, we'll be offering a 5E adventure by Storyteller's Forge, a Mazes dungeon crawl by 9th Level Games, and a brand new solo TTRPG by Critical Kit. Depending on your pledge level and add-ons, you'll pick your zines during the post-campaign pledge manager. As we unlock stretch goals, we'll be adding even more options to choose from!

Well, we've got plenty of videos and images on the page from a real, live printed deck. That means... "pretty done!" There's some final pieces still being sorted out -- like artwork for the GM Screen, the zines, etc. -- but overall, most of everything you see is either fully done or at least 90%+. And The Deck itself is ready to go straight to the printers as soon as we fund!
Each deck comes with a complete 40-page guide book to help you make sense of the cards, provide more structure to using them in your games, and generally be a handy reference. And, many tiers come with a collaborator zine, which shows the deck in action in different game systems!
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
