Project FAQ
Every adventurer worth their salt has companions to help them along the way! We've collected up a small group of fungi inspired creatures to bring with you on your journeys. This project offers our Fungal Familiar friends in full colour enamel pin form.
Great question! This project is part of Pintopia 2, an amazing Backerkit community building event encouraging artists to collaborate and create together. In order to receive 2 free pins you will need to back our campaign as well as the campaign by Dungeon Artist which you can find via the link in our campaign story section!
Another great question! While new to Backerkit, we've actually 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 :) The designs are complete and ready to go, we just need your help to get these pins made!
As a thank you to everyone who finds us early and helps get us going, we'll be offering some digital rewards! Anyone who backs within the first 48 hours will receive downloadable digital wallpaper art for each of the Fungal Familiars! These are customized to work for phones and computer screens.
Shipping is weird at the moment, and that moment has stretched into three or more years if we're being honest. We think we've got a pretty good handle on what it costs to ship things though through our main business, so we feel fairly confident in our projection of around $19 CAD ($14 USD) to pretty much anywhere in North America. Elsewhere is likely to be slightly more, but we're going to do our best to keep the numbers down! Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends, in order to get the most accurate numbers. We expect it's likely that the cost will go down from what's been suggested here, but we're being cautious!

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.
