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
What exactly is the LARP Passport?
It’s a pocket-sized journal designed specifically for LARPers to record, reflect on, and celebrate their in-game experiences. Custom templates enable you to capture your favourite highlights, memorable scenes, co-player interactions, character development, personal takeaways and more!
📜 What’s included?
The standard pledge “Starter Pack” includes a bundle of: 1x mini journal + 1 Sticker Pack (60+ custom designed stickers). You can always add extra items through Add-Ons or level up your pledge to get more bundles!
🤓 How many LARPs can I record in one Passport?
You can record up to 15 LARP experiences in full detail, plus keep a summary log of 20 more. There are also fun extras like a Hall of Fame, Bucket List, LARP Fail Checklist, and journaling pages.
🐣 Is LARP Passport suitable for new LARPers or just veterans?
Both! It’s a perfect companion for first-time players to reflect and grow, and a nostalgic keepsake for seasoned LARPers with years of stories to share!
🧝☢️🧛♂️ Is the LARP Passport made for all LARP genres?
Absolutely—the LARP Passport is made for any genre you can imagine! They were designed as out-of-character (OC) companion to your in-game adventures. Whether you're adventuring in a medieval kingdom, navigating a sci-fi galaxy, surviving post-apocalyptic grit, or anything in between, it's built to celebrate your unique story, whichever world you play it in!
🌺Can I use my own stickers, stamps, or decorations in the journal?
Absolutely! Customizing it is part of the magic—as this journal is meant to grow with your stories. Fill its pages with stickers, stamps, sketches, or anything that brings your character and adventures to life! And for those who truly want to leave their mark, check out the Legendary Pack pledge—it comes with a custom deluxe stamp to make yours (and others’) entries even more epic!
🏆 Are there any exclusive perks for BackerKit backers?
Yes! Aside from getting the items at a special discount as a thank you for early adopters, on top of that, anyone who backs in the first 48 hours receives free goodies - a bonus Sticker Pack for free!
✨ How does the custom deluxe stamp work?
After the campaign, we’ll reach out so you can send us your logo or design file. We’ll engrave it onto your very own custom stamp, packaged in a deluxe keepsake box. This special item is part of the limited Legacy Pack—crafted to leave a lasting impression.
🎁 Can I use this as a gift or for my whole LARP group/guild?
Of course, it's exactly what we had in mind with pledges: Faction, Guild & Legacy Pack were created with this exact idea in mind! Not only do you pay shipping only once, but you also get the bundles at a retail price!
What if I miss the campaign? Will it be available later?
Yes! After the campaign, you’ll be able to get the LARP Passport through Late Pledges on BackerKit still. We are also actively building a growing list of retail partners, some of which currently include LARP Box (US), Microcosm Publishing (US), and Les Artisans d'Azure (Canada). Follow our campaign updates to hear news on any new future partners we onboard!
What about the shipping fees, tariffs & taxes?
The shipping fees will be collected when you finalize your backing after the campaign has ended in the Pledge Manager, based on your location & final order - for estimates see Timeline & Shipping in our Campaign! All taxes and potential tariffs are already included in the shipping estimates - so no surprise charges later on!
How are shipping costs for U.S. backers calculated?
Our U.S. shipping estimates reflect the recently announced temporary tariff reduction—from 145% to 30%—effective for 90 days starting May 14, 2025. This significantly lowers the cost for U.S. backers during this window. If the policy changes, final shipping charges may be adjusted accordingly during pledge management. U.S. backers will receive updates about any changes post-campaign.
What is your refund policy?
All pledges are considered final once the campaign ends, as funds go directly toward production and fulfillment. If you experience an issue with your pledge (e.g. a damaged or missing item), we’ll do our best to help resolve any logistical challenges on a case by case basis. Just reach out and email [email protected]!
🌱 Is this product environmentally conscious?
Yes, we are glad to say that LARP Passport is designed with both durability and sustainability in mind! Bound in sturdy vegan leather and filled with FSC-certified recycled paper, this Adventurer’s Journal is crafted to last through countless quests while treading lightly on the world that inspires them!
