Project FAQ
If you're unfamiliar with DriveThruRPG's print on demand, the booklet costs are approx. $6 + shipping per book for books in the USA. Of this, $3 is collected via Backerkit, and $3 is collected by DriveThruRPG per book for printing (actual price depends on final page count). These paperback books retail for more, so you're saving by backing us on Backerkit.
We will have PDF only available the day of release on the DriveThruRPG.com website. However, Crawl Club Publishing currently has an exclusive license with DriveThru for PDF sales. So we can offer the printed versions here with a FREE PDF when purchased. But we cannot in good faith provide the PDF alone for sale. We also believe that all good RPGs should be held in your hands as a physical product. So having both the physical, and PDF version of the book is a great way to get the best of both worlds.
We are aiming for March at the latest. This being said. The book is in editing currently and the content is written. So we're really close to having this zine ready for publishing. We just need to get everything polished and final layouts approved before we can get the zine in your hands. We are 100% a full go on this project. But every zine we can sell in advance will ensure the viability of future volumes being produced. Thank you!
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.
