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
Do I need to know Pathfinder 2E to play Hellfinder?
Yes, you need a good working knowledge of the Pathfinder Second Edition RPG to play Hellfinder, but the good news is that the core of the system can be read for free online. Just visit https://2e.aonprd.com/.
Why are the Packets sealed? Can I open them all right away?
Hellfinder is presented in a series of three sealed packets to preserve the core mystery of the game. You can open them early and learn the full scope of the game, but it is highly recommended that you wait to open the second and third packet until instructed to do so during the included adventure. If you are concerned about the hidden content and what it might contain, please read the content consideration section of the Hellfinder crowdfunding page.
How much will Shipping Cost?
While we cannot say with exact certainly until manufacturing is complete, current estimates put US shipping at somewhere between $14 and $20 dollars. Shipping in the UK will be similar. Outside those countries, shipping is likely to run between $20 and $30. There is a chart on the main project page with the current estimates. Final shipping will be calculated after the campaign and charged at the time of fulfillment. UK and EU backers will pay VAT in the campaign manager at that time.
Will the ongoing Tariff situation affect Hellfinder?
It is impossible to say at this time how the Tariff situation will impact this game. We have contingencies to print the game entirely inside the USA if the situation warrants it, but this will make fulfillment quite a bit more challenging and may delay delivery of the game. We are committed to being open and transparent throughout this process and should the tariff situation cause problems, you can expect to hear from us about our plans to work around it.
