Project FAQ
The book costs are approx. $5-10 + shipping per book for books in the USA. This is collected by DriveThruRPG per book for printing (the actual price depends on the final page count). These books retail for $14.99 + shipping or more, so you save by backing us on Backerkit.
The deck costs are approx. $10 + shipping per deck for books in the USA. These decks retail for $15.99 + shipping, so you save by backing us on Backerkit. Please note that DriveThruRPG only prints cards in the USA, so international card backers may incur higher shipping costs, as well as VAT or other tariffs
The Shadowdark Bundle is a great reward tier and is substantially discounted from the retail PDF price.
Our non-US print hub is based in the UK, and shipments to the EU are now incurring VAT and brokerage charges, as well as delays. As our printer doesn't offer an EU based option, customers are incurring extra costs on top of routine printing and shipping.
See Backerkit's FAQ: https://www.backerkit.com/blog/a-more-collaborative-crowdfunding#Cross-Collab "Cross-Collab Campaigns: Crowdfunding campaigns where two (2) creators launch two (2) separate projects concurrently, each with its own independent concept and funding goal, but collaborate on an incentive (eg. an exclusive cross-collab reward) as well as project experiences (eg. collaborative livestreams) to cross-promote both projects across their combined backer audience. Backers must back both projects to earn the coveted cross-collab reward."
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.
