Project FAQ
Beyond using the base game design by Sen Foong-Lim and Erica Bouyouris; no. Talespinner Games, founded by the Rat Queens IP co-owner Kurtis Wiebe, has been developing this game adaptation since reclaiming the rights in 2024. This new campaign is under the banner of Talespinner Games and is an entirely new venture and an entirely new crowdfunding effort to bring a Rat Queens game to the market. As part of this new venture, Talespinner Games will be gifting a courtesy copy of the Core Game and Braga Expansion for original backers of the failed 2021 campaign by Ox Eye Media/Source Point Games and their affiliates.
No. There was a Rat Queens licensing agreement between Kurtis Wiebe and Ox Eye Media which was rescinded in 2024 due to breach of terms, failure to pay the license holder any of the agreed percentages and failure to deliver product by the licensee. Any issues, demands or questions about finances, missing money or refunds from the failed Rat Queens - To the Slaughter (2021) campaign should be directed toward Ox Eye Media/Source Point Games and any of their affiliates.

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.
