The date for each stream has not been set yet. We won't be able to firm up the dates until the BackerKit campaign is over, we get our Moonbeam realm spun up, and we check the calendars for each member of the panel. To give you a rough time frame: we're currently targeting September to initiate our realm.

Each roundtable discussion will be available on demand after the stream so if you can't make the date of the live event, you'll be able to watch the video when it's convenient for you.

The main component of this campaign is to fund the GM roundtables. But the other component to this campaign is an effort to foster a community hub where fans of our games can come together and share their own tips, advice, triumphs, and challenges. Where most streamers point their fans to two places -- their streaming platform (when they're live) and their discord server (when they're not) -- Moonbeam offers the capability of hosting both. So our hope is that our realm on Moonbeam becomes a place where fans of all of our various games can come together as well as an outlet for us to do things like these GM roundtables.

Running a live streaming platform comes with high costs, and Moonbeam believes in transparency. To ensure sustainability while providing significant benefits to you, they've developed Moonbeam+. Moonbeam+ is an optional monthly subscription with platform-wide perks, including: - Ad-Free Viewing: Enjoy an uninterrupted, ad-free experience across Moonbeam. - Increased Ad Revenue for Creators: Moonbeam pays creators ad revenue they would have earned when you skip an ad, plus a bonus. With Moonbeam+ you don’t have to watch ads, and creators earn more! - Increased Earnings for Creators: Creators receive a 5% payout bonus on any moonstones they earn. Yes, this means creators can earn 105%! - Early Features: Get early access to experimental features. - Additional Benefits: Enjoy a host of other exclusive perks. The number of months of Moonbeam+ you receive varies by reward tier. More importantly, those months don’t start to count down until Moonbeam enters our full launch phase—which means you’ll have these perks for the entire alpha and beta phases before the additional months kick in!

Moonbeam simplifies earning with moonstones, virtual goods anyone can buy on our platform. For every Moonstone a fan gives a creator, the creator earn $0.01. For instance, if a fan gives a creator 100 moonstones, the creator earns $1. This ensures that creators keep 100% of what they’re given with no hidden fees or gimmicks. So, how does Moonbeam make money? Moonbeam makes money by selling packs of moonstones at various prices, incentivizing bulk purchases for greater value. For example, you can buy 750 moonstones for $9.99 or 4,250 moonstones for $49.99. You can use moonstones for subscriptions, donations, tips, merchandise sales, and more. This means creators always receive 100% of their earnings, making Moonbeam one of the only platforms where creators can sell their merchandise without paying any fees or cuts to the platform.

Our confidence is high that this initiative will be successful. We have a close relationship with the Moonbeam team and we are not the only TTRPG company collaborating with them (Monte Cook Games and Gen Con being two other notable partners.) If, due to some unforeseen circumstance, we can't deliver via Moonbeam, we have plenty of experience hosting and producing streams and we will find an alternate way to make sure you get your rewards. We don't expect the need to rely on other platforms but it's reasonable to have backup plans just in case and we're not concerned. This endeavor is not particularly sophisticated.

We may eventually edit down each roundtable discussion and post excerpts to [insert other platform here]. But we will guarantee a MINIMUM of 120 days of exclusivity (from the date of each stream) for all backers of this campaign. Backers get first access, they get an exclusive viewing window, and backers who pledge for two upper tiers get the sole opportunity to participate in the post-show "fireside chats."

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.
