Digital RPG distribution

DriveThruRPG

Back it on BackerKit. Open it on DriveThruRPG.

BackerKit Crowdfunding now delivers your DriveThruRPG titles automatically. The instant a backer pledges, your title lands in their DriveThruRPG library — no links, no codes, no manual fulfillment.

From a creator

"We're thrilled about the new BackerKit DriveThruRPG integration! As the leader in RPG PDFs, DriveThruRPG offers incredible tools and publisher support. At Evil Hat, we use them for every BackerKit campaign—from PDF delivery via CodeBank to global print-on-demand. We can't imagine crowdfunding without both platforms and will definitely use this for our next project!"

How it works

Three steps. Then it runs itself.

Set it up before you launch and never think about digital fulfillment again.

Connect DriveThruRPG

Generate an Application Key in your DriveThru account and paste it into BackerKit once. We link it to your publisher account — that's the whole setup.

Add it as a reward

On any pledge level Instant Access Reward, pick “DriveThruRPG” and select your DrivThruRPG Product

Backers get it instantly

The moment someone pledges, the title appears in their DriveThru library and DriveThru emails them. You do nothing — no exports, no spreadsheets.

Why it's better

Digital rewards, the way they should work.

No more zero-cost discount codes or copy-pasted URLs. Real delivery, straight to the library.

⭐️

Lands in their library

Titles deliver to the backer's DriveThruRPG library across all DriveThru sites

🔄

Update files anytime

Push an updated PDF on DriveThru and every backer automatically gets the new version. No re-sends.

✅

Free to use

The Title Distribution API costs nothing for standard digital titles. No per-delivery fee.

0️⃣

Zero backer friction

Backers don't set anything up in advance — a DriveThru account is created from their email automatically.

Built to scale

Whether you fund 50 backers or 50,000, every pledge is fulfilled the same way — the second it lands.
