Project FAQ
The Shared Tabletop Initiative is a collaborative project that turns select pieces of board game art into high-quality enamel pins. The goal is to showcase underappreciated artwork and unite fans of different tabletop games through a shared appreciation of art and community.
This is not a single brand or single game release. It is a multi-publisher collaboration designed to bring different game communities together under one campaign. Each pin represents both a specific game and a larger effort to celebrate tabletop art as art.
All artwork is selected in collaboration with the original publishers. We focus on pieces that translate well into enamel while still honoring the original vision and style.
Yes. Every pin in this campaign is officially licensed and approved by the respective publishers and rights holders.
Some pins may never be available again. Many of the pin runs for this project are limited to the campaign itself. If any inventory exists afterward, pricing is likely to be higher due to production costs and smaller run sizes.
CavernHold has experience bringing tabletop-related products to market and working directly with the gaming community. This initiative builds on that experience with a strong focus on collaboration and transparency.
We hope so. This campaign is the first step in a larger vision of collaborative tabletop projects. Future initiatives will depend on community support and interest. We've already announced that we're making game art our focus, with our next campaign. We're continuing the cross promotional game art approach with our next line of game bags. We're making a modular backpack, with interchangeable front skins, that feature underseen and underappreciated game art on the front.

Sharing the project with friends, fellow gamers, and local game communities makes a huge difference. The more people who see the art, the stronger this initiative becomes.
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.
