Project FAQ
There was no AI used in the creation of The Poison Course. In fact, I created this one-shot before I'd even dipped my toe into what is becoming the AI vortex, and I haven't used it even now that I know how. Why would I? Creating TTRPG stuff is what I love, why would I offload that to an LLM? I wrote the scenario and, for better or worse, did the layout and zine design. The excellent Breanna Knoth (https://www.instagram.com/kn0th/) has contributed the art I've used so far, and even though there will likely be public domain art used for at least some of what's in the final version, I won't be using any ro-bits to generate anything.
At a cursory level this is a small campaign, and a crowdfunded one at that. So by way of a standard answer I'd like to say no refunds. But, if you are TRULY not satisfied please send me a message, and we can try to work something out. Also worth noting that while I'll be doing a number of test prints through the selected print-on-demand vendor, they ultimately print and ship directly to you. If you run into a problem with your physical copy feel free to send me a message and I'll help if I'm able, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to make any material impact.
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.
