Several goals which enhance the game are waiting to be met. These include but are not limited to: additional artwork, professional editing, a new type of player character ( the Clipper ), new sample adventures written by vtubers, and music composed by vtubers. That's all in addition to the print run. Since the rulebook will be released in as a PDF anyway, there's not really a way for this campaign to fail.

The answer is a little complicated, and I've expanded on it in the rulebook. In a nutshell, the name vtuber is not quite as universal as it might seem. Different languages each have their own preferred term. The word vtuber which literally is a condensed version of "virtual youtuber" implies a connection to the specific platform of YouTube. VStreamer at one point was the preferred term on Twitch because it invokes no specific platform. The two words do get used as synonyms though, and both work for our purposes.

Nope, the rules that I selected to use are more flexible and far more universal in character creation. This game uses a custom-tuned derivative of C.O.R.E. which is an open source TTRPG ruleset. The original C.O.R.E. rules, created by the hosts of the Dragons Landing podcast, are still available under a Creative Commons license for everyone to look up and use. VStream RPG uses it's own updated CC license, thus enabling the player to take anything from it, change it, and redistribute it as one likes. Enjoy creative freedom on your terms, not mine.

Creative Commons 4.0. CC-By. The full license is included inside the rulebook manuscript.

One ten-sider will be plenty.

No, we do not. We expect that vast majority of gamers who play this game to be doing so online. Custom dice -- while they may be cool -- but this specific game is not the best suited to use them. In order to keep this campaign fast and cheap, we have purposefully chosen to not complicate it with additional physical merch at this time. Dakis however, we could be talked into that.

this project does offer refunds to all backers who purchase the digital products -- for any reason or for no reason at all. Just reach out to the VStreamRPG Bluesky account, and refunds will facilitated. For any backers who purchase physical printings, refunds are available up to the time of shipping. After shipping, refunds will no longer be available.

You have have met me under different names. I'm known in gaming circles as the gamemaster, Fyberpunk or simply Zaoboem. I authored an article "The Court of Tarot" for The Rifter Magazine from Palladium Books. My contributions to the Cyberpunk Red gaming space on the fan creation side have been showcased as Creator of the Month in the Discord Server of JonJon the Wise. I created and run the fan discords for both Paleomythic and Shadow Scar game game franchises. (No endorsement implied, just explaining my experience there.) Among vtubers, I admin the clipping channel SktechyClipper. To indie writers, I'm the editor and novel writer Scott Zaboem. As an editor, I've worked on numerous indie and webnovels as well as the indie RPG Irradi8ed. I've even spearheaded a 700 page long collaborative charity book (which never did go to publication). In my first ever Backerkit campaign, I combine all three of these interests.

That's up to the participants. If all players want the session streamed or recorded, that would be fine by me. If they don't want that, it's equally fine with me to not do it. There are currently no plans to stream any such content, but that may be done if there is interest expressed.

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.
