Project FAQ
We can't refund any pledges or ship any items, so please only pledge if you have tickets to The Convention and intend to pick up in person at The Salt Palace in Salt Lake City December 4-6.
Avoid stickers out of respect for the venue. These can be problematic in terms of damage to surfaces and also potentially seen as disruptive to the venue's policies. Also, please don't swap any homemade food or drink items.
When you swap items, expect that images or videos of your items could become public, including being posted in the WorldSwapper Discord server or on recipients' social media accounts.
WorldSwapping is an exchange between you and the person on the other side of the swap. No WorldSwapper organizers have control over the exchanges, the items swapped, or what becomes of your creative work. WorldSwappers accepts no liability or guarantee that swaps will occur.
You can absolutely still participate! In the past, "non-crafty" swaps have included: - resin ducks (from amazon) - glow in the dark "cremlings" (from amazon) - bookmarks (3d printed or regular 2d printed) - glowing "spheres" - 3D printed items If you want to participate, you absolutely can!
WorldSwapping is for fun, not for profit! Don't rip off another's creative concept for profit. All items should adhere to the Dragonsteel fan art policy, found here: https://faq.brandonsanderson.com/knowledge-base/can-i-make-fan-art-or-write-fan-fiction/

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.
