Project FAQ
The Sleepy Hollow corebook is estimated to be between 140 to 160 pages, packed with rich lore, character archetypes, rules, and everything you need to dive into the eerie world of Sleepy Hollow. The chapbooks, which delve deeper into specific aspects of the setting such as folk magic, encounters, and additional scenarios, are estimated to be between 40 to 60 pages each. These chapbooks will provide additional content to enhance your game, offering focused material that complements the corebook.
The print-on-demand (POD) cost for the Sleepy Hollow books is estimated to be around $10 for a softcover version and $15 for a hardcover version. This pricing ensures that you can choose the format that best suits your preferences and budget, whether you prefer the flexibility of a softcover or the durability and collectability of a hardcover edition.
We’re aiming to have the Sleepy Hollow corebook and chapbooks ready for release by mid-October, about two weeks after the campaign ends (if not sooner). We’ll keep you updated on our progress and any changes to the timeline as we move through production, at this stage it is just ensuring the print quality is fantastic.
Our goal is to bring Sleepy Hollow to life with the support of our backers. If the project is not fully funded, we will carefully evaluate our options. While our primary focus is on ensuring a successful crowdfunding campaign, we are committed to delivering Sleepy Hollow to our fans. If necessary, we may explore alternative options, such as traditional distribution. However, your early support is crucial to helping us achieve the full vision for this unique setting.
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.
