Project FAQ
We wanted to provide each of you with a luxury version of Kindred Spirits, so we decided to add stretch goals for this project. However, rather than making them financial stretch goals, we created social stretch goals. This means that if the campaign gets shared on Facebook 300 times, we will upgrade the cardboard scoreboard to a fabric scoreboard. It also means that if the campaign gets shared on Instagram 300 times, we will upgrade the cardboard totem stones to frosted acrylic totem stones. This means that everyone benefits. We benefit from the project being shared and promoted, and the backers will receive a luxury version of the Kindred Spirits.
There are four promo card sets available for FREE during the campaign. These are for 'Early Bird' backers, 'Returning' backers, 'Quick & Thinky Banner' backers, and 'Cross-Collaboration' backers. To qualify, backers need to support to a pledge level, which includes a physical copy of the game. (These include 'Kindred Spirits', 'Kindred Spirits for the Gaming Art Lovers', and 'The Complete Ludus Vulpes Collection (includes a great saving on the RRP)'. For the 'Early bird', they will need to support a physical pledge level within the first 48 hours. For the 'Returning backer', they will need to support a physical pledge level, and have previously backed one of our campaigns. For the 'Quick & Thinky' Banner incentive, they will need to back a physical pledge level, alongside supporting two other campaigns that feature under the 'Quick & Thinky' banner. The the 'Cross-Collaboration', they will need to back a physical pledge level, alongside supporting the Blue Fox Tabletop campaign for their 'Deck of Wonderous Items - Expansion Set DnD Item / Lore Cards' These incentives will automatically be added to your cart at the end of the campaign. Please note, anyone who does not back a physical pledge level during the campaign, but adds a copy of the Kindred Spirits game in the add-ons post campaign in the pledge manager, will not receive the promo cards for FREE.
Simply back a physical pledge level in 'Capture powerful energies using your Kindred Spirits', alongside supporting 'Deck of Wondrous Items - Core + Expansion DnD Item/Lore Cards' before the end of the Pocketopia campaign, to receive the exclusive 'Animal Attraction' promo cards, which can be used with the Kindred Spirits game. These will automatically be added to your cart at the end of the campaign.
All games have been made here in the United Kingdom. For every transaction, we plant a tree with our partner Just One Tree. We will be walking to our local post office with the parcels for fulfilment to ensure that we are not increasing our carbon footprint. We may re-use packaging for parcels to reduce unnecessary waste.
We cannot be held responsible for any delays in shipping due to unforeseen circumstances. During our Overgrowth campaign in 2024, there was a month long postal strike in Canada, which meant that our Canadian backers were delayed in receiving their rewards. However, all rewards were made and shipped within three months of the campaigns completion. We will hope to do the same for this project.
Shipping will be calculated based on the total weight of your purchased items. However, we will look to reduce shipping costs wherever possible.
The campaign is due to complete at the end of May 2026. We will issue out the BackerKit pledge manager surveys in June, which will then charge for shipping, as this is not included in the campaign. The quicker that all Backers complete these, the quicker we will be able to fulfil the shipment of your items. We would hope to begin fulfilment in August 2026, which we are carrying out ourselves.
No, our previously released games, which are listed in the add-ons & also in 'The Complete Ludus Vulpes Collection' pledge, are already created. The Kindred Spirits game is being created in the United Kingdom and we will be sending the files to print, once the campaign has successfully funded. We do small print runs to ensure that we do not over burden ourselves or put ourselves under financial strain.
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.
