Project FAQ
On the campaign page, you can download the Absolute Power PDF preview, where it details what's new in Absolute Power and how it differs from Silver Age Sentinels. Absolute Power and BESM Fourth Edition use the same Tri-Stat System, except it's now cranked up to superhuman power levels: up to Level 10 for Attributes and Rank 24 for Stats. They are 100% compatible, though, with no conversion needed.
It's certainly possible. We try our best, but sometimes fingers have a mind of their own. Drop us a message if you see one; we appreciate the opportunity to correct our mistakes. Of course, it might be that you're noticing our British spellings (we are a Canadian company) and thinking they are actually typos instead of spelling variations. We get that a lot, too.
DIGITAL: Once the campaign ends on October 19th, BackerKit will charge backers’ credit cards for their pledges. Not all cards clear on the first attempt, though, and BackerKit tries a few times over a one-week (possibly two-week) period. Around the end of October, we will send a survey to all backers to collect pledge details (after all add-ons are considered) and give backers approximately a week to finalise their pledge. This takes us to early November. At this point, all backers who have completed their survey will be sent an email with DriveThruRPG download codes for their digital rewards. People who do not complete the survey on time will be processed in waves. We will then send out download PDF codes in these waves to backers, not daily as they come in. In other words, if you want your pledge rewards as soon as possible, please don’t delay completing the survey. PHYSICAL: At any point between when the BackerKit survey opens in early November and we close it (by the end of February 2024, most likely), backers can complete the survey and input their shipping addresses and pledge details. Once we close the survey, backers must email us directly to make any further changes to addresses or reward selection. If things proceed as expected, we will ship pledges to backers worldwide in approximately April 2024.
BackerKit FAQ
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.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
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.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
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.
