Project FAQ
Just like our last campaign, digital rewards will be fulfilled in waves immediately after the campaign ends for beta testing and feedback. We have a Proofing & Feedback channel on our discord server, all backers are welcome to join in there and leave comments, questions, & recommendations! https://discord.com/invite/7xKRkHfDks
ASAP. We will have approximately 1 month for proofing & feedback before the final files go to the printer. Once I have a better idea of how many units to order they will be able to more accurately give me a time & cost estimate for printing & shipping. I'm optimistically hoping to have everything in your hands before Christmas 2024, but Spring 2025 may be more realistic.
No, you won't need any WotC books at all, but can use any ones that you wish. It is a stand alone system that is 5e compatible.
The 3 books are A5 sized (half the size of normal "big" D&D books), the core rules & GM guilde/adventure will likely be around 50 pages each, and the classes. ~80 pages. That will likely change a bit as the project nears completion.
Still finalizing, but likely going to use something similar to the Shadowdark license (very open, essentially do what you want, as long you don't claim endorsement).
Possibly in the future, but as a small team, having too much granularity can quickly become a big logistical problem. For now I'm trying to keep the offerings easy to manage on the back end so that printing & fulfillment goes smoothly.
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.
