Project FAQ
The Beast pledge gives you a print-on-demand coupon for a softback edition of Disposable Bags of Meat, fulfilled through Drivethru RPG. Actually buying the book will incur an extra charge from DTRPG for the book and shipping costs. If you're in a country we can ship to, we strongly suggest going for The Mimic, which gets you a hardback edition of the book.
We'll ship to most places globally. We will not ship to active conflict zones (it's really hard to get post into them). We cannot ship into the EU due to GPSR regulations. We don't expect that to change by the time we send out Meatbags rewards.
We'll charge shipping once we're ready to send out rewards. This both allows us to work out the most affordable option, based on the number of books we're moving, and make sure we're working with the latest information on shipping costs and import fees. We currently expect The Colossus (the heaviest, and therefore most expensive pledge) to cost about £7 to ship to UK addresses, and £20 to the USA or Canada. The more orders we get, the more likely it is that we can arrange a fulfilment partner in the US, which will help with all worldwide prices.
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.
