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
Is this book just for Dungeons & Dragons or can I use it in any setting?
Great question! The majority of the book can work with any setting. The only items that are Dungeons & Dragons specific are several of the magic item cards.
I pledged within the first 48 hours. How do I get my the special minis included?
At the end of the campaign we will double check the backer list to ensure that if you backed in the 1st 48 hours these minis are included in your rewards.
Will I be able to make a pledge, or upgrade my pledge, after the campaign?
We intend to make late pledges available following the campaign, and backers will be able to upgrade their pledges, and add add-ons, in the pledge manager. To absolutely ensure you don’t miss out, our advice is to back the campaign even if it’s at a lower level than you want. This will ensure that you’re in the pledge manager, where you can make upgrades to your pledge after the campaign closes.
How long do I have to adjust my pledge after I back this campaign?
We intend to keep the pledge manager open for at least a few months after the campaign closes.
When will my rewards be ready, and how will I get them?
Check the Timeline section of the main campaign page for info on when we expect to ship rewards. Make sure you read the Shipping section of the main campaign page. For NZ backers shipping will be coordinated straight from our store.
