We will send out all digital content that is currently released (Salvage Union Core Book, Rainmaker, False Flag, and We Were Here First!) as soon as the campaign concludes. You will have the option to pay for split shipping if you want to get any released content you've backed (Salvage Union Core Book, Rainmaker, False Flag, and We Were Here First!) early. We are aiming to fulfil the entire campaign within a year of it concluding.

The Salvage Union Starter Set is designed as a stand alone box set that contains everything you need to start playing Salvage Union, including all of the core rules, and the "Reclamation of the Wastes" campaign designed to The Salvage Union Core Book includes even more content to advance your Mechs from Tech 3 to 6, as well as your Pilots into Advanced and Hybrid classes with access to legendary abilities, and much more.

The campaign will also be designed to segue into the three currently released Adventure Modules, We Were Here First!, False Flag, and Rainmaker, making it an excellent entry point into the world that can expand into the other adventures. The Starter Set splits the rules into several easily accessible booklets, covering the first two Tech Levels of play, making them easier for players to leaf through.

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.
