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
Are the 5E and DCC stats in the same book?
No, we will publish these as separate books.
Does the book include scans from the original Traps books?
No.
Are PDFs included?
Yes – see the Pledge Levels tab for full details!
Will the books include fully playable game stats?
Yes! You can choose between DCC RPG and 5E rules.
Does this include the classic art?
Yes!
Why should I buy this if I own your previous Grimtooth compilation?
This collection includes playable game stats! You can actually use this at your table with no conversion or guesswork – and if your players aren’t careful, characters may die!
Which traps are included?
The best ones! (And we'll get even more with the stretch goals!)
When is shipping charged?
Shipping will be charged during the pledge manager phase, typically a few months after the fundraising campaign is completed. Shipping will be based on weight.
How will international fulfillment be handled?
Our plan is to ship EU/UK destinations from a UK origin point, AU/NZ from an AU origin point, and CAN from a Canada origin point. VAT and customs fees will be based on your country’s negotiations with those origin points. We will accurately represent the nature of the commercial goods included in the package.
Where is my $10 discount for having backed one of your Kickstarters in the past?
The discount gets added at the pledge manager stage, so it's not immediately evident when you pledge. Once in the pledge manager, it will apply automatically. If for some reason you don't see it, let us know. (Some people back Kickstarters under different email addresses so that's the most common reason why it may not come through.)
