BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
Does this work use Generative AI?
No. All creative and other work done on this project was ultimately done by a human. Computers were used throughout the process, but the presence of generative AI was neither welcome, nor permitted.
Will my physical rewards be made by the PRC?
No. The RPG will be printed by DriveThruRPG, which has facilities in the United States and the United Kingdom. To the best of my knowledge, any book selected as an add-on will be printed in the United States. I will similarly be ethically sourcing any other add-ons or incentives.
How will foreign shipping work?
Digital rewards will be available worldwide. Backers will likely be responsible for their own shipping for physical copies of the worldbook. Any books or other physical media selected as add-ons will be only available in the United States.
My God, who is that artist?
His name is Ben Fleuter. He's a great guy and an excellent artist. I'd recommend him for commissions, except there's already a line out the door. You can check out his webcomic Sword Interval here: https://bfleuterportfolio.tumblr.com/. You can also check out his portfolio here: https://bfleuterportfolio.tumblr.com/ And, of course, his Patreon is here: https://www.patreon.com/derelict
