Project FAQ
Everyone who has purchased the game previously will automatically gain access to the revised edition PDF once it becomes available at no additional cost.
I understand that asking you to back a book that you may have already purchased is a big ask. That's why I've been working hard to make this new revised hardcover edition worth it: high quality offset printing, 25 pages of new content, more than twenty new pieces of original art, new reference materials, and a bookmark ribbon to help make the book more usable at the table. At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether that's worth a new purchase or not, but I really believe in the improved quality and new content and hope that you'll join me.
Shipping will be calculated and collected after the campaign through the Pledge Manager. As you're aware, things are pretty chaotic in the world right now. The global pandemic has disrupted supply chains and exacerbated many already existing problems. Due to this, shipping is not included in your initial pledge and will be calculated after the campaign, when your rewards are ready to ship. This is so you can get the most accurate shipping rate based on the time we ship and your specific location. Shipping rates will be announced as soon as they are available. From that time, backers will given two weeks until cards are charged. We'll then make another announcement a week out, and then again 48 hours before we charge cards. Then, we'll charge for shipping and work with our fulfillment partners to make the process as smooth as possible.
Our fulfillment partner will ship everywhere that United States Postal Service ships to, which means that currently they cannot ship to Afghanistan, Belarus, Brazil, Central African Republic, Israel, Laos, New Caledonia, Niue, Palestine, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen.
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.
