Dreams & Dread is for all versions of 5E, meaning that we endeavor to make everything compatible, regardless of which 5E rulebooks you have. That said, the content is written for 5.5E first and prioritizes 5.5E formatting and design conventions, because it's the newest version of the rules. Because 5E and 5.5E are so similar, however, this isn't an issue 90% of the time, and where the rules conflict, there'll be sidebars and guidelines to help the GM and players use the content for 5E.

We have a strict no-AI policy for both content writing and art. We use only human-made art (often directly commissioned from the artist) and all the writing, formatting, etc. in Dreams & Dread is done by real human beings (at least, we like to think of ourselves as such).

Shipping and taxes are handled in the pledge manager after the crowdfunding project ends. The Shipping & Timeline section has estimates for shipping fees and taxes.

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.

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.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

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.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
