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
When are PDFs shipping?
Within two weeks of the closing of the campaign. It takes a few steps to verify everything on the admin side.
When are print copies shipping?
After all addresses and shipping costs are settled, proofs from the printer come back perfect, and the time to stuff and labels cardboard mailers is set, we will ship out your print copies. Likely 4-5 weeks after campaign close.
What's your next project?
Thanks for asking! We have two ready to rock! The Discovery of the Doomweaver by Marc Anderson is the first of six modules in a series. This will involve a unique innovation in adventure leveling designed to give Judges the most amount of adventure path flexibility and replayability. This is likely our Labor Day weekend launch. But even before that! We have a Shudder Mountains adventure for 3rd level launching on DCC Day. Look for The Secret of Kythe Hollow.

What if I change my mind and want a refund?
Of course, we aim to give you a great product for your gaming table at a great price, but if you change your mind for any reason, we will will issue a refund as long as the request comes before your adventure module has been sent.
