BackerKit FAQ

How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.

To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.

All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.

Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.

Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.

When will I be charged for my pledge?

Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.

What happens after the campaign is over?

The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.

The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.

Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

Project FAQ

When will the project be fulfilled?

We are targeting an October 2024 fulfillment date

If I back more than one Purple Planet project, how will fulfillment be handled?

We are looking at options to consolidate fulfillment to reduce shipping costs for backers. More details will be provided as we get closer to the fulfillment date. Horse Shark Games is strongly committed to pooling our resources and fulfilling this project together in concert with all the members of the Purple Planet Horde.

How can I get all the Purple Planet Horde Drop-In Encounters?

In order to get a Purple Planet Horde campaign's Drop-In Encounter, you must back that creator's project. If you want them all, you should back all the projects.

How does the Horse Shark Patron pledge level work and what's in it for me if I support the Patreon?

As a benefit to all my financially supporting Patreon members (Daemon, Superuser & CPU levels), I offer them free shipping on crowdfunding campaigns. The Horse Shark Patron pledge level is for fans who are supporting my creative efforts on Patreon. You must maintain your membership for the duration of the campaign and through its fulfillment (you can join for as little as $1/month). I also send my patrons, free of charge, copies of rules, adventures and other supplements as I create them. Lastly, long term members currently receive a T-shirt. So there's lots of benefits to joining besides following the latest developments of a yet to be released TTRGP. If you are not a member of the Netcrawl Patreon, check it out (https://www.patreon.com/collection/121293?view=expanded) and join today.

Does this project use Generative AI for art or writing?

Absolutely no AI has been used nor will be used to create this project. Everything is made from people and their squishy biological brain-computers. Just like Soylent Green.
