These rewards are suitable for ages 14 and up.

Not as long as you change to another physical pledge! The time you make your initial pledge is always time stamped with your pledge, so even if you upgrade your pledge tier we will always be able to associate you with the first 2 day backer group.

Exalted Funeral will be handling fulfillment through their warehouse partners; Flying Cloud Fulfillment in the US, ZATU in the UK, Meeples Group in the EU, and Aetherworks in AU.

The PDFs will be available as a digital download via BackerKit. Backers will receive PDFs of the books shortly after the campaign ends (see Shipping and Timeline). Stretch goal digital files will be made available via BackerKit when ready.

Yes, by using the “Edit My Pledge” link on the campaign page.

Yes! You will have the ability to change your pledge via BackerKit, which will open a couple of weeks after the campaign ends.

Funds will be processed for this project after the campaign ends. You will receive an email with further details when the campaign ends.

If a project is still live, you can cancel your pledge before it ends. However, once a successful project has ended, and collection has started, it is no longer possible to cancel your pledge. If you’re interested in having your collected pledge refunded, you’ll need to reach out to us directly at [email protected]. Refunds may have processing fees associated with them, depending upon at what point in the process the refund is requested. When issued a refund for added items or shipping fees processed through BackerKit, those funds will be applied to the card used for those transactions via BackerKit and Stripe.

All add-ons will become available when BackerKit Pledge Manager opens, so just pledge at the tier that you are most interested in and the rest will come later! Expect the BackerKit Pledge Manager to open a couple of weeks after the campaign ends.

A few weeks after the campaign ends, backers will receive a link inviting them to their pledge survey on BackerKit, a website that will allow them to add on items and pay for shipping, add-ons, etc. It functions much like a web store with photos and descriptions of each item. You will be able to enter your address and edit it before we ship the project.

The OSE core Player's Book and Referee's Book are available in pledge levels and as add-ons. Other OSE adventures, supplements, etc are not available via this campaign but can be ordered from Exalted Funeral here.

The Demonic Grimoire requires the OSE core books, but any version of the game will do. The Demonic Grimoire is fully compatible with the 2026 core books and all previous versions of Old-School Essentials.

The 2026 update is an updated presentation of the game, adding lots of new art and examples of play. The rules and terminology are completely compatible with all older OSE books. See this blog post for a very detailed run down on the 2026 update.

The Exclusive Reservation Deck is available only to physical backers that have made a Reservation Deposit via the Launch Party prior to the start of the campaign. The Demonic Grimoire Monster Deck contains all the same monster cards, but it comes in the standard tuckbox available for retail sale rather than the Exclusive Reservation custom tuckbox.

No. Pledge levels that include the early shipping OSE core books have the shipping cost already factored in. You'll only be charged shipping for the Demonic Grimoire + other rewards (planned for fulfillment starting in January).

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.
