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
When will the book(s) ship?
My goal is by December, just in time for Christmas!
If I miss the campaign, where can I buy the books later?
Once the Backer's pledges are fulfilled, the books will be available through my website store. https://www.fracturedbrainstudios.com/
Are all of the books signed?
I will personalize any and all books if you want.
How do the Custom NPC and Creature pledges work?
You and I work out the details of the character and/or creature and I commission an artist to bring it to life. I will provide you with several artists to choose from, and based on the style you want, that artist receives the commission. Once complete, I'll write the character/creature into the book(s), place the art, and your creation becomes a permanent part of the game world. You'll receive a digital copy of the piece plus a personalized quality print with your order. The plege also includes the book (or books) you pledged for.
What about the Custom PC pledge?
You'll tell me what your Player Character looks like, choose one of the Dystopian Artists based on the style you like, and I'll commission the artist. You'll recieve a digital copy of the creation plus a personalized quality print.
Why is This Campaign Longer?
A few reasons. 1) I want to showcase it at the Tucson Comic Con in Aug. 2) Several people missed the last campaign & asked me if I could make the next one longer. So, I did. :-)
