Project FAQ
With books or PDFs at hand, you only need 2 10-sided dice (d10), some paper, and a writing device (pen or pencil). It is recommended that you print the tiles and character sheets to have a more comfortable experience.
Once the campaign closes and we finalize the file, you'll receive an email from DriveThruRPG with a link to claim the game. After completing the process, you can view the game in your DriveThruRPG library and download it whenever needed. This also allows us to add extra files or update the main book as necessary, keeping everything organized in one place.
Don't worry, since all backers are eligible for the 2 Free Gifts, we will attach them to every digital delivery automatically.
No. You will have the opportunity to pay for the shipping fees later during the Survey/Pledge Manager phase. You are responsible for customs and other duties, which are typically charged when the package arrives in your country. Shipping charges advertised during the campaign are tentative and may change based on factors such as postal pricing fluctuations and other variables.
The following terms apply to the “Name‑in‑Game” reward offered to eligible early product backers. Eligibility This reward is available only to backers who make a product pledge (any reward level that includes at least one game product; “$1 support only” tiers are excluded) within the first 48 hours of the campaign. Eligibility does not guarantee that a backer’s name will be used; it only makes the backer eligible to opt in, subject to the terms below. Consent and Opt‑In Participation in the Name‑in‑Game reward is strictly opt‑in. After the campaign ends, eligible backers will be asked in the pledge manager and/or backer survey, or via direct email, whether they consent to participate. A backer is only included if they affirmatively indicate consent (for example, by selecting “Yes, I agree” to the Name‑in‑Game question in the survey or by clearly replying to an email with consent as instructed). Not responding, or selecting “No,” means the backer does not consent and will not be included. Not responding does not count as consent. Name Provided and Representations If a backer opts in, they may provide a real personal name (for example, their legal name or another real name that identifies them) to be used. By providing a name, the backer represents and warrants that: The name is accurate and belongs to them; and They have full right and authority to grant permission for the creators to use that name as described in these terms. We may, but are not required to, allow a preferred real‑world name (such as a pen name) so long as it complies with these terms and is not offensive, misleading, or infringing. Age and capacity By opting in, the backer represents that they are of legal age and have full legal capacity to grant the permissions described in these terms in their jurisdiction of residence. If a backer is under the age of majority, they represent that they have obtained all necessary consent from a parent or legal guardian, and that such parent or guardian agrees to these terms on the minor’s behalf. Nature of Use and Creative Control By opting in, the backer understands and agrees that: The creators have full creative and editorial control over whether, where, and how the name is used. The creators do not intend to use any backer’s name in a way that is meant to be defamatory or to promote hate, violence, or unlawful discrimination against any individual or protected group. However, the game world may contain fictional violence, conflict, villains, and morally ambiguous characters as part of its narrative, and by opting in, the backer acknowledges and accepts that their name may appear in such fictional contexts, provided that it is not used with the purpose of targeting the backer personally in a defamatory or hateful manner. The backer has no right to select, approve, or control the specific character, artwork, story, context, or product in which the name appears. Names may be assigned, at the creators’ sole discretion, to any type of character or entity, including but not limited to: Civilians and bystanders Allies, heroes, or supporting characters Monsters or supernatural entities Human or non‑human enemies or antagonists Other persons or creatures of interest The name may be used in any current or future games, expansions, supplements, or related materials connected to this project’s game line. Right to Reject or Omit Names The creators reserve the right, in their sole discretion, not to use any name that: Appears to be false, fictitious, or not a real personal name; Appears to infringe or violate the rights of others (for example, the name of a celebrity or trademark used without permission); Is defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate; or For any other reason the creators deem necessary or appropriate. In such cases, the creators may ask the backer for an alternative name or may omit that backer’s name entirely. Such omission does not entitle the backer to a refund, replacement, or additional compensation. No Guarantee of Inclusion The creators do not guarantee that every eligible and consenting backer’s name will appear in any published product. The creators may limit the number of names used, decide not to use particular names, or remove planned uses of names during development or editing for any reason, including but not limited to space constraints, content revisions, or changes in creative direction. Failure to use a particular backer’s name does not affect the backer’s entitlement to the other rewards described in the campaign and does not entitle the backer to a refund, replacement, or any additional compensation. Finalization and Changes Backers may request corrections to their submitted name only while surveys or pledge‑manager data remain open. Once surveys are locked and production work has begun, the creators are not obligated to change or correct names (including for spelling errors, changes of legal name, or other reasons). After this point, any requested changes may not be possible, especially for already‑printed or released products. Grant of Rights (License and Consent) By opting in and providing a name, the backer grants the creators a perpetual, worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license and consent to: Use, reproduce, display, and incorporate that name in connection with NPCs and related game materials for this project’s game line; and Use the name in associated promotional and marketing materials related to the game or game line. This grant of rights applies to any and all formats and media now known or later developed, including print, digital, and electronic formats. The backer agrees that this use: Does not create any ownership or authorship rights for the backer in the game, characters, or related intellectual property; Does not entitle the backer to any additional payment, royalties, credit, or compensation beyond the rewards described in the campaign; and Does not give the backer approval rights over the creators’ use of their name consistent with these terms. Privacy and Data Use The creators will handle backer information, including names and contact details, in accordance with: The terms and privacy policies of the crowdfunding platform and pledge manager; and The creators’ own privacy policy and applicable data‑protection laws. Backer personal information will be used only as necessary to: Administer and fulfill campaign rewards; Administer the Name‑in‑Game reward; and Comply with legal and platform requirements. The creators will not sell or license backer personal data as a stand‑alone mailing list or database. Backers may have certain rights over their personal data (for example, access, correction, or deletion) under laws such as GDPR or CPRA; any such requests will be handled in line with applicable law and platform requirements. Withdrawal of Consent Backers may choose not to opt in and will then not be included in the Name‑in‑Game reward. If a backer has already opted in, they may contact the creators to request withdrawal of consent before surveys are locked and production work using the name has begun. The creators will make reasonable efforts to honor valid withdrawal requests, but cannot guarantee the removal of names from products that have already been finalized, printed, distributed, or released. Entire Agreement for This Reward These Name‑in‑Game terms govern the use of backer names for this specific reward and are in addition to the general campaign terms, platform rules, and the creators’ privacy policy. In the event of any conflict between these terms and any informal description of the reward, these Name‑in‑Game Legal Terms will control.
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.
