BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
Are you confident you'll be able to fulfill this?
Absolutely! Although this is our first project on Backerkit, it's actually our sixth crowdfunding project. All of our previous crowdfunding projects (launched on Kickstarter) succeeded, and we've already completed the fulfillment for the first four (The Baroque Tarot, The Naked Truth Tarot, The Baroque Tarot - Deluxe Edition, and The Chibi Tarot) (and our backers have been super happy with them, as you can see from online reviews and comments on Kickstarter), while the fifth (The Lady Pirates Tarot) is currently being manufactured. All that to say that there's little risk associated with this project, and it mainly relates to external factors (none of us saw the 2020 pandemic coming, right?).
What cardstock will you use for the deck?
The deck will feature 350 GSM art paper. If (or rather, when) we reach $60k in funding, we'll upgrade to 330 GSM German blackcore cardstock.
What finish will you use for the deck?
All of our previous customers and backers have loved linen finish, so we're going with that for this deck as well.
Can I get the companion book if I have the First Edition of the deck?
Absolutely. The companion book will feature entries for both the old and new versions of the edited cards, so you can (and should) get a copy even if you're not planning to grab the Midnight Edition.
How will tariffs affect shipping and other costs?
As you know, the situation's still volatile, and no one knows for sure how the whole tariffs situation is going to play out. Nevertheless, we're doing everything in our power to establish a logistics system that ensures fair shipping prices no matter where you are, just like we've done in our previous projects. No matter what, we won't simply push any extra costs on you.
Will you create new editions of The Naked Truth Tarot in the future?
The Midnight Edition will be the second and final edition of The Naked Truth Tarot. We believe in creating art that manifests our visions rather than treating our projects as ongoing revenue streams. This edition was born from an evolution in the creator's vision and in response to thoughtful community feedback—something we deeply value. With these refinements complete, we consider The Naked Truth Tarot's journey to be fulfilled, with no further editions planned.
Will you offer the First Edition as an add-on?
Only if it's a popular request (so that we can meet the MOQ of our manufacturer). If you're interested in grabbing a copy of the First Edition, do not hesitate to voice your opinion in the comments so that we can gauge interest.
How do I qualify for the cross-collab incentives?
Back this campaign and the Vibrating Tarot campaign before both campaigns end to qualify for our special cross-collab incentives.
