Project FAQ
A short-form version of Carved from Brindlewood, the system used for Brindlewood Bay, The Between, Public Access, The Silt Verses RPG, and others.
No. These games are made by people who love the act of making things.
No. The goal of this campaign is to fund the print editions and to rebuild the games as a set.
Not for these! The rules for these games are effectively the same as The Gauntlet’s other Carved from Brindlewood releases, without the long-form campaign components. There’s not much to pare down for a preview: All three are quick to start and quick to play.
We're focusing on whiteboard software like Figma's Figjam, since it does the core things a game like this benefits from and is easier for a small publishing group to manage technically. If our Figma playspace funds, you should be able to pull the assets from it into the VTT of your choice.
Plus One Exp has a robust retail program currently working with almost 200 Friendly Local Game Stores around the globe. In order to avoid locking up your funds, and to avoid platform fees, we encourage retailers to sign up for our retail partnership program by emailing [email protected] and pledging $1 to follow along. You will receive all benefits stretch goals unlocked or included in the campaign for your wholesale purchases.
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.
