The Catalogue of Chaos is a collection of unpredictable, impractical, and occasionally dangerous magic items for D&D 5e. This campaign is funding Edition 3, a softcover book containing 30–40 brand-new magic items, illustrated and fully written for tabletop use. Some items won’t appear in the future hardbacks, making each preview book a unique collector’s piece.

Depending on your pledge level, you’ll receive Edition 3, previous editions, PDFs, a T-shirt, or even a custom artwork commission. You can also add on extra books or a special TTRPG called "Everyone is Jeff." Backers at £1 or higher will also have their name included in the “Chaos Champions” section of the book.

We are offering a special Early Bird Bonus for backers who pledge in the first 48 hours of the campaign. This will include an exclusive digital PDF featuring 2 original monsters—complete with full stat blocks, lore, and unique abilities—alongside 2 short adventure encounters that showcase these creatures in action. These encounters are written to be dropped into any 5e campaign with minimal prep. This content will not appear in the main Vault of Monsters Book, coming later this year on Backerkit making it a true early backer exclusive and a first look at the tone, style, and danger of what’s to come. If you back within the first 48 hours, you’ll automatically receive this bonus digital content when rewards are delivered.

Once you’ve selected a pledge tier, you can add extra items using the Add-Ons section. Available add-ons include: Preview Edition 1 (Print) – £25 Preview Edition 2 (Print) – £25 "Everyone is Jeff" (TTRPG) – £5 Catalogue of Chaos T-Shirt – £20 After the campaign ends, you’ll be able to confirm your add-ons in the BackerKit Pledge Manager.

We aim to begin fulfilling digital rewards (PDFs) in August, and print books will ship shortly after that. If there are any unexpected delays, we’ll keep all backers updated through project updates.

Shipping will be charged separately after the campaign through the BackerKit Pledge Manager. This allows us to calculate the most accurate rates based on backer locations. Estimated shipping costs for physical rewards: UK: ~£6 per book EU: ~£10 per book US: ~£12 per book Australia: ~£15 per book If we get more backers than expected, we may be able to negotiate better shipping rates.

Backers outside the UK may be subject to VAT or import duties, depending on local tax laws. We’ll collect any necessary VAT after the campaign through the pledge manager to comply with international regulations.

The Editions are limited-run printings, so once they’re gone, they won’t be reprinted. The magic items from Editions may appear in future hardbacks, but some will remain exclusive to these smaller editions. If you miss the campaign, there may be a limited chance to order through BackerKit Late Pledges, but we can’t guarantee stock.

At the £500 "Grand Arcane Patron" tier, backers can commission a custom piece of artwork depicting any item in action. This artwork will be signed, framed, and included in the future 100-item hardback edition. This does not include designing a new magic item but if you're looking to contribute an item idea, we may introduce community voting stretch goals in the future!

Yes! You can change your pledge level anytime before the campaign ends by clicking the “Manage Your Pledge” button.

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.
