Project FAQ
During the creation of Huckleberry, we worked with two sensitivity consultants who specialize in race, Indigenous topics, LGBTQ+ themes, and disability. Our team has done our very best to ensure that we are respectful of all peoples, regardless of culture, lifestyle, or skin color.
The costs of U.S. tariffs has been factored into each pledge level's pricing and will not be an additional cost. We've done our best to diversify the manufacturing of Huckleberry's rewards to avoid the higher tax burdens. Most of the rewards are being produced in the US, EU, and UK. As the tariff situation is ever-evolving, we will communicate if any new problems arise.
Yes! We are partnered with a UK distributor for fulfilment to both the UK and the EU. The costs of VAT has been factored into each pledge level's pricing and will not be an additional cost.
Until 3 months after the campaign ends, you can cancel your pledge for a 90% refund. This amount reflects the platform and service fees already deducted from your pledge. After 3 months, refunds are not guaranteed and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. This is due to funds being already allocated to manufacturing, supplies, labor, and fulfillment.
Yes, Huckleberry's core PDF is complete and available now on DriveThruRPG. This campaign is to raise funds to create physical books. A print run of Huckleberry's scale requires offset printing to make financial sense, which has a large minimum order and equally hefty cost. It's a big risk for a company of our size. Running a crowdfunding campaign allows us to minimize that risk, while also gauging interest so we can print the correct amount of books.
Huckleberry: A Season of Avarice is now included in the $20 PDF Only tier.
Currently, the bounties that make up A Season of Avarice are laid out in US letter size for their digital release. Combined, they are around 120 pages. We will be reformatting them to A5 before going to print so that both Huckleberry books will fit the same footprint. I estimate this will add an extra 25-50% to the page count. A good bet would be around 180 A5 pages.
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.
