Project FAQ
Dragons not already listed are outside the scope of this campaign, sorry! As for what I might make in the future, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up and then never deliver, so assume anything is possible but not much is probable given the cost! If there is a particular dragon you absolutely have to have please check out the custom level.
All of the information related to this reward is compiled on the trello made especially for this purpose. Here are the most important cards: What we will and won't hatch: https://trello.com/c/oQDVW113 General Incubation Information: https://trello.com/c/algd00pj
All stickers, keychains and buttons that were made for Comet & Friends are campaign exclusive. They will not be for sale again after this! Consider adding anything you know you want on the Add-Ons tab, it's the best way to nip any chance of forgetting in the bud and you won't be charged until the campaign ends.
All plush are made of new material, with 100% polyester fabric and stuffing. Standard size plush are 20 inches, jumbo are 40 inches. Jumbo dragons come unstuffed and with a belly zipper. All of them come with a soft rubber coated wire in the wings to help maintain shape. Certain extremities (fins, ears, wings,) have squishy foam for form. All the details on these dragons are fabric or embroidery. They will come with hang tags and tush tags. These are not visible on the prototypes, so keep that in mind!
Ideally by hand, in cold water, and using a mild, bleach-free detergent! For plush that can't be unstuffed, try to submerge as little as possible and only scrub the area that needs it (spot clean.) For plush that can have the stuffing removed, it is also best to unstuff them before washing and replace soiled stuffing instead of re-using it. In either case, let them dry in a place with actively moving air and ideally low humidity. I use floor fans for this purpose.
I plan to put EVERYTHING made on the backerkit in to making plush. That means increasing the order size for these 5 designs, developing more designs I think you'd like, and keeping Lairbrew's plush-related side of things operating! I'm always happy to be making more cuddly dragons and am always looking at new projects.
What: https://www.etsy.com/shop/lairbrew It's a little ttrpg fan shop run by me since opening in Jan. 2020! Lairbrew started with just 25 stickers of a single design, but now on Etsy alone we have over 3.3k sales and have maintained a 5 star review average since opening. Check out our reviews if you want an idea of how I handle my business (or if you just want to see cute photos of my plush in their new homes!) Most of our business is conducted online, but we just started doing shows this year! Who: Hi! I'm October (they/them,) a queer and disabled creator and the artist behind these plush designs! Coppers are my fav dragons and bard is my fav class. I started making a lot of art once I started playing TTRPGs, especially once I became a GM. Now I wear all the hats that keep Lairbrew going!
All shipping charges will be calculated based on your address and pledge items. It will be collected in addition to your total pledge amount during pledge management. Shipping materials and handling are both free, and I make no profit on shipping! International backers are responsible for additional fees associated with location, such as VAT. General Package Information: Both standard and jumbo sizes ship in tear-resistant polybags by default. Particularly large orders will be shipped boxed. Balled paper is used as void-filler. Standard size plush ship fully stuffed, and jumbo size plush ship unstuffed. Packages with only buttons, stickers, or keychains will ship in a padded envelope. All packages ship from IL in the US. Packages will come with tracking. Your plush will probably arrive with the wires in the wings a bit bent out of shape, and stuffing might shift in stuffed plush. A good massage should fix both problems! In case of trouble: If you have a problem with your shipment, contact [email protected] and it'll be taken care of! There are no refunds, returns, or exchanges, but if you got the wrong package, have a missing item, or accidentally received a b-grade item, it will be made right with replacement. I'm happy to fix mistakes with no fuss so please don't be nervous about reaching out! I will not replace packages that go missing in the post or are damaged by shipping. I pack items with sufficient protection and send them out with tracking, which is the best I can do. Please consider insurance for your package if you are concerned with these possibilities!

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.
