The Horror RPG Core Rulebook contains everything you need to play, other than some standard gaming supplies: pencils, scratch paper, or a notebook, and some six-sided dice (approximately 12 per character, 6 in one color and 6 in another color).

No. If you don't already have a copy of the Horror RPG Core Rulebook, you will need to purchase the book as part of this campaign. If you can't purchase the rulebook or don't wish to, you can also get the rules via Free League's Year Zero Engine Standard Reference document (YZE SRD): https://freeleaguepublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/YZE-Standard-Reference-Document.pdf

The appendix of the book includes all of the pre-generated characters for the Can You See Them? scenario (and The Diner scenario book has its own set of pre-generated characters) along with agenda cards. You are free to photocopy and print those pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. That said, if you get the CYST Card Pack, you won't regret it. This high-quality card set makes it easy for your to quickly distribute and organize gameplay for the Can You See Them scenario.

This is our first Backerkit campaign. Although we've had success with Kickstarter, we felt that we should start relatively simply. Our goal is to finish the pledge manager in early February and immediately issue the digital rewards, followed by the physical rewards only a few weeks later. A big part of this is demonstrating our ability to create high-quality products that we can get into your hands fast to build support for future products. We also omitted adding too many stretch goals as we didn't want to slow things down with creating new content or add-ons.

Currently, no. The add-ons are rewards offered to enhance the game and may not be as effective standing on their own. We might offer them in the future as products you can purchase separately via our website and other platforms on which we sell our products.

We intend to make late pledges following the campaign, and backers will be able to upgrade their pledges and add add-ons in the pledge manager. To ensure that you don't miss out, our advice is to back the campaign even if it's at a lower level than what you want. This will ensure that you're in the pledge manager, where you can make upgrades if you like, after the campaign closes.

The game is designed for "cinematic" play, which means it is a self-contained story with pre-generated characters. Typically, the game will take between 3-4 sessions. The book gives details on how to run it for a longer campaign.

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.
