Anything labeled "Backerkit Exclusive" is only attainable by backing this campaign or by purchasing from a retail store that backed this campaign.
Essence20™ is a d20 based system. The core mechanic for resolving a roll is for the player to roll a d20 along with their Skill die (ranging from a d2-d20). The result of the d20 and skill die must exceed the difficulty of the test in order to succeed. Characters with a specialization in the skill being tested get to roll their skill die and all dice below it, and pick the highest result to add to their d20 roll, increasing their odds of success! What’s more, a max value roll on ANY die is a critical success, leading to more chances for crits and more opportunities for great roleplaying incorporating them.

We have carefully structured this campaign to get the best pricing possible for all our backers while delivering as many upgraded components as possible. Taxes work slightly differently in different countries, so depending on where you live, you will encounter slightly different fees during the post-campaign survey. US Backers—We are required to charge sales tax in some states. Each state is a little different, so you will see the specific tax rate for your state when you check out during our post-campaign survey and pay for shipping. EU and UK Backers - During the post-campaign survey, you will pay for shipping and applicable VAT. Our shipping charges are what we actually pay. These costs have risen recently due to changes in all of Europe involving Brexit. We are now shipping from two locations, one in the UK and one in mainland Europe. The costs you see reflect our actual cost to ship. Rest of the world—In the post-campaign survey, you will pay the actual shipping costs and will not be charged any other taxes or fees during checkout. We ship from many locations worldwide to keep costs as low as possible. If you have other specific questions about how shipping or taxes will work in the post-campaign survey, please contact us directly.
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.
