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
Fullfillment
Fulfillment will be through DrivethruRPG
How am I going to submit NPC, Locations, and Monsters?
During the survey phase, there will be questions about the NPC, Location, and/or Monster. If there are any questions from the team then we will reach out through email. Grimwood Games reserves the final say over all content included in the book. While we will make every effort to incorporate contributions, all submissions must comply with copyright laws and fit within the creative vision of the project.
Timeline
This will be longer than Ironbound. I am about 60% of the writing is done. I will need to finish the writing so I expected 3-4 months writing than it will be pushed to the editors. I am really hoping for a November or December digital release then January for the physical projects.
How do I qualify for the cross-collab incentives?
Back this campaign and the “Monsters & Myths” campaign before both campaigns end to qualify for our special cross-collab incentives.
