If this campaign funds and there is interest from our backers, we'd love to create the rest of the series in this style!

Sorry, but this special edition of Leveling Up is exclusive to this campaign, and will not be available in book stores such as Barnes and Noble. Other editions of this book, such as a generic paperback, may appear in stores, but will not include the same designs, embellishments,, or treatments found in this book. Add-ons and other reward items marked "exclusive" to this campaign will also not be offered outside of this campaign. Additionally, this campaign reflects the best price for this collection that will ever be offered. Limited post-campaign copies of this set may be made available by the publisher at special events, like book conventions, but always at a higher price than the one made available during this campaign.

All signed Leveling Up books will include a special bound-in signing page that contains K. F. Breene's signature. So, if you purchase a set of three signed books, each book will include the signature page. For tiers that include a signed Born in Fire hardcover, your reward will come with a signed bookplate instead.

If you have a question of any sort, please feel free to leave us a comment on the campaign or reach out to our email, [email protected]. For those comfortable with Discord, you can also join and reach us here: https://discord.com/invite/vaultcomics

Hi there, thanks for asking, and yes of course. You can watch the entire hour stream here: [link to be posted after conclusion of stream]

All of the graphics in this campaign are mockups and not real products that exist (yet!) We commit ourselves to producing the highest quality final product to the specs we have mentioned for each item. With that in mind, some art, design, and product details may be improved upon for the final product. We will only ever *improve* the final product you receive. If for some reason we are unable to fulfill the item as shown and described, this will be communicated clearly in an update, and backers will receive a partial refund for any difference.

A suncatcher is a removable (non-adhesive) transparent, flat prism that is intended to catch the light and produce a rainbow effect. So, similar to a sticker, except it is fully waterproof, highly UV resistant, and able to be removed and re-positioned several times. The suncatcher item for this campaign is a sizeable 6" circle with a scalloped edge.

The Leveling Up sweatshirt is an ultra-comfy fleece crewneck sweatshirt, 80% US Cotton and 20% Polyester. The sweatshirt also features a relaxed fit with a side seam and rolled shoulders, and the purple tone is printed with low-impact dyes. Sizes available: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL.

Sure! The notebook is a hardcover faux-leather notebook with full wraparound printing, and comes with a purple elastic strap to keep it safely closed. It also features an interior pocket for storage, a purple ribbon bookmark, and the cover is waterproof! The dimensions are roughly 5.8 x 8.2" with 96 lined interior pages, perfect for jotting down dreams, notes, private thoughts, or anything else.

Hi! The character write-in reward is a highly limited custom reward, where K. F. Breene will write you into a future book of the Leveling Up series as a character or creature. You'll provide your name and other details that would make sense to include narratively. We can't 100% guarantee that we'll be able to accommodate specific details or character/ species choices; that will of course depend on the needs of the Leveling Up story. We're happy to check in with Katie about any specific questions you may have about this tier. Please just reach out to us at [email protected] and we will get you an answer!

If your reward tier already includes a Leveling Up Deluxe Set, any additional Leveling Up Deluxe Sets will include a discount as a bonus thank-you for supporting K. F. Breene's work. Please note, that you must be backing at a level that already includes the set in order to take advantage of the add-on discount. You can grab an additional set right here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/vault-comics/leveling-up-series-books-1-3-collector-s-edition/add_ons_index#top

If you noticed that our Pay Over Time amount is set to $90 while the site FAQ mentions a minimum of $150, that is correct. We have a lower Pay Over Time amount set for this campaign to better serve you, our backers! Enjoy the perk. --- Pledges over $90USD total are eligible for BackerKit's Pay Over Time feature. Pay Over Time gives you the choice to break your pledge into smaller payments spread over the 4 months after the campaign concludes. If you'd like to Pay Over Time, simply select this option at check-out. Your first installment will begin after the close of the successful campaign, and you will receive your Backer Survey once your final payment has been completed.

The estimated shipping ranges are both wide and reflective of a higher value simply because we are unsure about shipping conditions at the time of fulfillment. Shipping prices have raised quite a bit over the past few months and may continue to rise; the rates we've noted reflect that volatility. However, we will always strive to provide you the best possible value, and to lower shipping costs through bundling and other strategies.

To make sure that we offer you the lowest possible shipping price, we will be bundling ALL of your rewards and any add-ons (including any potential last-minute orders from the late pledge store) together into one package.

This campaign was run by Der-shing and Chris of Vault with support from the entire Vault team as well as marketing and backer support through our friends at Vala Marketing. We also thank Aethon Books for their general cool-ness. The campaign video was created by Lucia Retamales.

To get the sticker sheet bonus, simply back our project at any tier and back the Bonkers Romance: "Paranormal Romance Royalty" campaign (https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bonkers-romance/paranormal-romance-royalty/launch_party) at any physical tier using the same account. When we've confirmed that you've backed both of our campaigns, you'll receive an automatic bonus gift from our team and from theirs!

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.
