Project FAQ
That's the million dollar question, isn't it? I have now done 2 projects with the workshop team who is producing these dice, and they are efficient and have great communication. Their general timeline is about 3 months, but I'm giving a VERY generous estimate of 1 year because you just never know with these things, and I'd rather fulfil early than late! That should put fulfilment no later than February, 2025. Ideally, it'll be much sooner, but this is the furthest goal post.
Nearly all rewards will ship from my studio in Ontario, Canada. At this time we are expecting the handmade hex trays to ship from Naturally Nerdy HQ in the USA to keep shipping costs as low as possible for everyone.
Yes. The UV-activated inclusions are made with resin, as are the rest of the dice themselves. The other inclusions are so light as to make virtually no difference to the overall balance of the dice. They're perfectly suitable to play at any gaming table!
If you'd like both of these great rewards, there are a few options for you. 1- you can back the campaign using 2 different Backerkit accounts. This way is simplest for me and also gets you double the stretch goal rewards/early bird bonuses (if you're backing in the first 48 hours of the campaign). 2- if you don't want to set up and manage 2 different Backerkit accounts (I get it, I do!) but you'd like both rewards, please send me an email to [email protected]. I will set up something custom to make it happen. I don't expect that many people will want this combo, but if it does come up a bunch I will make campaign-wide adjustments to account for that.
Nope! They only glow under UV light. I've had them glow a bit under bright sunlight, too, which was unexpected but very cool!
Generally speaking most commercially available UV lights are going to be UV-A and the vast majority emit much less UV light than being outside on a sunny day. Both the flashlight and the strip LEDs in the tray are UV-A lights. The flashlights are 365nm wavelength and the trays are approximately 400nm wavelength.

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.
