Project FAQ
Familiar Tales is a Tabletop Roleplaying campaign! With your support, we are creating an adorable game where small creatures go on big adventures in the land of Willowmere. Your patronage helps is bring this game to life, and will go to fund the creation of books, dice, gm screens, and more!
Another great question! We've actually completed two successful pin campaigns before, and you can check them out here - https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bookwyrm-games/fungal-familiars https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bookwyrm-games/pintober-witchworks-enamel-pins#top https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bookwyrm-games/huggle-bugs-a-pintopia-pin-and-plush-campaign#top In addition we've also run a successful crowdfunding campaign previously in collaboration with The Dungeon Artist to produce the Quest Chest. We also have an established digital presence at www.bookwyrmgames.com and we're at most of the Fancon and Comic Con conventions that happen in Western North America, so we're not going anywhere :)
If you back my campaign and the Wayfinders campaign before both campaigns end, then you will qualify for our special cross collab incentive. Link to the Wayfinder campaign: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/07680331-852b-4f2f-8fb7-898e8c19ca7a/landing?ref=home-page
We wanted to offer everyone the opportunity to to get everything they wanted from our campaign. We realize that times are difficult but we believe that everyone should have the chance to have beautiful and fun things in their lives, so we wanted to make our campaign a little bit more accessible. For this reason we have opened up a Pay Over Time option to allow you to split your payment into multiple installments! Backers who select pay over time will pay their balance in four monthly payments, beginning after the campaign ends. No additional fees or interest will be applied to your order. Subsequent payments will be charged monthly Some things to note - 1. Rewards will not qualify for shipment until you have paid in full. 2. Any partial payments made are not eligible for a refund. 3. You will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after you have paid in full. 4. Pay over time is only available for pledges $150 and above.
This one is a can of worms for sure! Shipping is VERY weird at the moment, especially cross border. Luckily, we ship stuff all over the world all year 'round, so we think we've got a pretty good handle on what it costs to ship things and we feel fairly confident in our projections. Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends, in order to get the most accurate numbers.
No problem! We're always happy to chat :) Please feel free to post a comment with your question and we'll respond ASAP. If you'd prefer to ask something privately, you can reach us at - [email protected]
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.
