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
Why the Reloaded/Second Run Campaign?
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.
Why the move to Backerkit?
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!
What does this mean for Backers of the first campaign?
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!
What are some highlights of Agents of Fate?
-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!
Where do you ship?
We currently plan to ship to the following countries and regions: -Brazil -Canada -European Union -United Kingdom -United States
What's new about Agents of Fate RELOADED
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!
What will we new in the base game of Reloaded?
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!
Is the Reloaded Campaign a Retread of the Initial Campaign?
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.
When can you expect your copies?
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!
How do Shipping Fees work?
Shipping fees are collected AFTER the Backerkit campaign ends!
