Project FAQ
Now that the campaign is over, you can manage your pledge in the BackerKit Pledge Manager: http://rtdt-2.backerkit.com Or https://www.backerkit.com/c/users/active_projects Your direct link to your survey should have been emailed to you. If you have not received it, be sure to check your spam folders and add backerkit.com or [email protected] to your approved senders.
All of the stretch goals from the first campaign are already incorporated into the game. There are no separate stretch goals.
There was a special sign-up on BackerKit for the advantage trackers, sent out to prior email list members, posted on social media, and generally publicized. We will match backers using their BackerKit email against that list. If you signed up for the trackers and back for at least one item offered in the campaign, you will receive the trackers for free, and they will automatically show up as part of your pledge in the pledge manager after the campaign is over. Alternatively, they will be available as an add-on for $5 in the pledge manager and are part of the Coffers 2 add-on in plastic. If you are unsure of whether or not you are receiving the trackers, please wait until the pledge manager opens, and we will resolve the issue at that time.
There is only one substantive rules change. When a fourth skull would be placed on a building, the building is destroyed, and all four skulls are removed from the game. In the prior version, the fourth skull was returned to the supply. In practice, very few games were ending in a loss as a result of the skull supply running out, and this simplifies the general rule. Other than that, we corrected a typo and clarified some existing rules. The new version of the rulebook will be available to download in pdf format, and the substantive rule change will appear in the Covenant rulebook.
As indicated on the shipping chart, some regions have VAT included in their shipping charges. For the following regions, VAT is included in the line that only shows as Shipping on the pledge manager. United Kingdom (UK) European Union - Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), Bulgaria (BG), Croatia (HR), Cyprus (CY), Czech (CZ), Denmark (DK), Estonia (EE), Finland (FI), France (Fr), Germany (DE), Greece (GR), Hungary (HU), Ireland (IE), Italy (IT), Latvia (LV), Lithuania (LT), Luxembourg (LU), Malta (MT), Netherlands (NL), Poland (PL), Portugal (PT), Romania (RO), Slovakia (SK), Slovenia (SI), Spain (ES), Sweden (SE)
We are working on scheduling a playthrough for some time during the campaign. We'll keep you posted.
You can cancel for a full refund at any time prior to the end of the campaign. After the campaign ends but before shipping starts, you can cancel your order for a 75% refund, which reflects the amounts taken by the various service providers and the additional expense we will incur in shipping the items you ordered to our warehouse for alternate use. We cannot promise a refund after shipping starts but will consider on a case-by-case basis.
Crowdfunding campaigns are notorious for fulfilling later than promised. Our last campaign was no exception, but we feel like a global pandemic was a pretty good excuse. That said, we are building in a very big buffer so we can avoid that in this campaign. We expect fulfillment to commence no later than July of 2023.
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.
