Frequently Asked Questions

This is an official Darkest Dungeon graphic novel, produced by Vault Comics alongside the developer, Red Hook Studio.

Yes, the material in the book is canon. The Darkest Dungeon OGN writer, John Lees, is working closely with Red Hook co-founder and Darkest Dungeon creator Chris Bourassa to ensure that the continuity, tone, and all lore in the story remains right in line with the intended vision for this series.

No, our project has nothing to do with previously run Darkest Dungeon crowdfunding campaigns. We'd be remiss not to acknowledge a previous major campaign set in the world of Darkest Dungeon. However, this graphic novel project is completely unrelated outside of our love for and relationship with the Red Hook Studios team. Vault won't be able to answer or help with any questions in regards to any previous campaigns, but Red Hook and Vault are collaborating closely to make sure that THIS campaign respects all of our backers completely. Vault has a great track record of producing titles for both the monthly comics and book/ novel market, and our team has run multiple successful crowdfunding campaigns in the past with a high degree of transparency and communication. Thank you for joining us here!

Content-wise, both Darkest Dungeon hardcover editions offered during this campaign will contain the exact same great comics and any extra interior page content unlocked during this campaign. Availability-wise, the Limited edition will only be available during this campaign and some select special circumstances (like convention appearances). This edition will also be far more upgradable than the standard edition. The standard edition potentially may be available in retail stores at some point to the general public. However, this campaign guarantees the lowest possible price of availability, and all editions in this campaign, regardless of standard or Limited, will be fulfilled in advance of any public sale of the book as thanks for your participation and support!

Some of our original product mockups show a version of the Standard Hardcover with a black title, and later ones show a more readable yellow color. The final look of this book is pending final production considerations, but regardless, this book will feature a gloss treatment and any upgrades earned during the life of the campaign.

If we unlock any bonuses during the campaign that apply to an item in your selected reward tier, it will be automatically applied to your reward stash on our end. You don't have to do anything else... enjoy!

We're including every dimension of these rewards that we're able. However, please keep in mind that we have multiple upgrade opportunities available, and these dimensions are not final: they can only get larger and better. Hardcover Books: minimum 6x10" dimensions Bookplate: minimum 3x4" dimensions Sticker sheets: minimum 5x6" dimensions Standees: minimum 6" height Enamel Pins: minimum 1.5" width

Funny you should ask that very specific question, and so frequently at that. As a matter of fact, the art shown in the rewards is not final. We plan to swap it out with a lesser, much more inaccurate version of the art. We're just kidding, by the way. Art is NOT final, but that is usually because we like to take one more polish pass. Suffice to say that the look and feel of all mockup rewards presented in this campaign will always be enhanced, never diminished.

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.

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.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

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.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
