Yes, you need a good working knowledge of the Pathfinder Second Edition RPG to play Hellfinder, but the good news is that the core of the system can be read for free online. Just visit https://2e.aonprd.com/.

Hellfinder is presented in a series of three sealed packets to preserve the core mystery of the game. You can open them early and learn the full scope of the game, but it is highly recommended that you wait to open the second and third packet until instructed to do so during the included adventure. If you are concerned about the hidden content and what it might contain, please read the content consideration section of the Hellfinder crowdfunding page.

While we cannot say with exact certainly until manufacturing is complete, current estimates put US shipping at somewhere between $14 and $20 dollars. Shipping in the UK will be similar. Outside those countries, shipping is likely to run between $20 and $30. There is a chart on the main project page with the current estimates. Final shipping will be calculated after the campaign and charged at the time of fulfillment. UK and EU backers will pay VAT in the campaign manager at that time.

It is impossible to say at this time how the Tariff situation will impact this game. We have contingencies to print the game entirely inside the USA if the situation warrants it, but this will make fulfillment quite a bit more challenging and may delay delivery of the game. We are committed to being open and transparent throughout this process and should the tariff situation cause problems, you can expect to hear from us about our plans to work around it.

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.
