We've done our best to create a system that uniquely creates Card Game Anime style stories, and this required us to use mechanics that don't quite work with other systems. In Perfect Draw! the narrative directly impacts the card games by giving you Baggage and other opportunities to attain Advantage. Throughout the course of our development, we've spent a lot of time play testing and fine tuning the best experience we could! This is something we wouldn't have as much power to do if we made the game compatible with other systems. Certainly, if you're willing to be a bit of a game designer, there are ways that you could take some of our rules and integrate them with other games. However, we can't make any promises to the quality of the play experience or if things will balanced.

When we were playtesting the Card Game Combat and Card Creation systems, we realised that the game was already rather complex. Given the overhead of complexity that comes with making unique cards for your deck, we wanted to make sure the core rules where relatively simple. At the same time, we wanted to make sure players where being guided into exciting narrative moments and being forced into messy situations so they care about the upcoming card games. These are things we think the Powered by the Apocalypse framework does really well! Personally, I would refer to the game as more of a PBTA-Lite style game because while it uses some elements from both modern and early PBTA games, we happily scrapped or completely changed anything that didn't 100% work for the types of stories we were hoping to create. This is still a game that a PBTA veteran is likely to have a fairly easy time understanding the core rules of, but it is also one that refuses to fit the PBTA mold when it doesn't suit its needs.

As soon as the campaign is over! Or at least, you'll gain access to the prototype PDF as soon as soon as we can after the campaign is over and the funds have cleared. The game is already completely text, art, playtesting, and layout complete. All that's left to do is make edits, refine wording, and make any content that's been unlocked through stretch goals! Depending on the success of the campaign, we expect that the prototype will be updated for a month or two before being finalised. At which point, we'll release the final PDF and you should only be a couple days away from getting the notification that your physical copy of the book is on its way!

With a small team like ours and such a large project, it's easy for some errors to break through. If you've noticed anything, please feel free to direct message me here on BackerKit, make a comment, or send a message in our Discord (https://discord.gg/TCHRNdyKfR).

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.
