Project FAQ
We've decided to do a second kickstarter campaign for Agents of Fate for a myriad of reasons. Back when Agents of Fate initially got funded we honestly at underestimated the costs of production and what it was going to take to fully realize the game at its full potential. Not only that but an old member of the team had screwed us out of half of our budget and we had multiple team members leave the project leaving us to pick up the pieces. Then at the start of 2025 we were in discussions of selling the game off to a publisher who would be able to fulfill the promises of the first Kickstarter, but some mal-practices and broken promises later and we were again left holding the bag. In short, we want nothing more than to be able to give Agents of Fate the best chance at getting in players hands and hearts so we can do right by the people who supported us before whilst also hopefully improving the quality of the book with even more content than before.
I've now run 2 crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter and they both were successes! However, as I've taken time to reflect on their performances, I decided that BackerKit felt like a much better fit for my kind of projects as they are much more personal and artistic and a lot less corporate. In addition it felt wrong for us to run a second campaign for Agents of Fate on Kickstarter, so I decided to run this campaign here as a partial experiment!
The Second Run not only serves as a chance for us to get the funding to make even BETTER rewards for initial and new backers, but also for new backers to get a chance at them as well, so don't worry! PLEASE NOTE: If you are an initial backer of the first Kickstarter campaign you will STILL RECEIVE your rewards even if this one does not fund. This is just a chance for us to fulfill those promises faster while also hoping to expand the content in the physical print!
-Improvisational, fast-paced role-play -Easy-to-plan, single-session structure (with pre-written Missions!) -Dozens of pre-written characters and pages of worldbuilding -Follow in the footsteps of your favorite action protagonists!
We currently plan to ship to the following countries and regions: -Brazil -Canada -European Union -United Kingdom -United States
Agents of Fate 1.0 contains almost everything we aimed to achieve at the base launch of the first Kickstarter. This includes the full rules set, multiple pre-written missions, 30+ characters, etc. However, what we weren't able to accomplish were some of the backer rewards (specifically extra missions and illustrations) as well as some loftier goals like alternate game modes and new missions. The Reloaded Edition will add all previous and new backer rewards as well as new art, missions, and hopefully modes!
If we hit the $10,000 goal we will not JUST be porting over the original game. We will also be adding new art work, new agents, 2 new missions, some balancing and gameplay options, as well as some typo and grammatical fixes across the initial version!
No, absolutely not. While this campaign has the potential to give new backers access to the same rewards as our first campaign, the entire focus of the RELOADED campaign is to EXPAND the contents of Agents of Fate in a second release. This is an expansion or deluxe edition, not a replacement.
As of right now we are currently hoping to gather everyone's pledge reward information and compile the digital copy of AGENTS OF FATE RELOADED by October 2025 with the physical releases being printed and distributed by Spring 2026!
Shipping fees are collected AFTER the Backerkit campaign ends!
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.
