PDFs should be delivered in February with physical products going out in March

The shipping prices will be determined during the fulfillment phase. Currently the estimate for just Volume 4 is about $8 US and $25 for foreign backers (Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany). Add-ons will incrementally increase this amount as well.

The other volumes (1, 2, and 3) are available as add-ons in both PDF, just the monster pages, and as deluxe prints (coming with the dividers, cover inserts, cling stickers, and V1 & V3 binders).

The "Creeper Crop" is a special monster page that will be sent to backers who backed in the first 48 hours. For those getting a physical product it will be an actual page added on to your order. For non-physical backers it will be a PDF page sent to you. This monster is not part of the official Volume 4 collection and is only available through this campaign and directly from me at cons.

There are 10 monsters that I did not have the budget for putting into this volume. However, we have seen in the past that some backers are willing to donate part of the price of the artwork ($35) to allow me to generate these entries for everyone! Those kind enough to do this make the project better for all of us! Every backer that sponsors one of the 10 entries listed on the add-ons also gets to put a short dedication line at the bottom of the page.

I know where you are going with that question, and I'm right there with you! NO portion of this product was produced through AI. All writing was done by me, "Luau" Lou. All art was done by Santiago Iborra and Christopher Tupa (with bonus monster art by Morgan Hauth). Editing is being done by Emily Herring. Everyone (other than me) was paid what they asked for, upfront, out of pocket, prior to this campaign. I am a strong believer in the value of good art and wordsmithing!

BOY, let me tell you, about every amazing writer I approached has said "yes," here's the list- The Neon Lord, himself, Brian Shutter From "The Monster Man" podcast, James Holloway The "Dark Marshal" creator of Dark Trai... I mean Weird Fronteirs, David Baity Host of Rulez as Written and publisher of Dragon Peak Press, Stefan Surratt The Masters of the Long Con Press (and chuckle-heads from "The No-Class RPG Podcast"), Eddie Bartlett and Matt Gullett Publisher of Rugby-Melee Games, James Watson Publisher of Studio 9 and artist, C. Aaron Kreader Publisher of Parallel Dimensions (and fellow host of "This Ol' Dungeon"), Edwin Nagy And there are more industry folks still responding!!! I will let you all vote in who creates a monster for the project as we hit $5000 and every $500 after that!

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.

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.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

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.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
