Project FAQ
Please see the Schedule and Shipping section under Story on the main project page. There's a lot more information like estimated shipping costs based on location. But the short answer is that we hope to deliver at the end of May 2024.
Lightraiders is a big change from the original 1980s DragonRaid. We added a few things to the vintage boxed sets that went out to begin building a bridge between the two systems, but the changes are still significant. Lightraiders is designed for accessibility as a Bible study curriculum for home groups and youth groups. As such, it has defined episodes that use specific verses, fit into a one-hour lesson block, and culminate in a specific Bible study. This means that while players have some freedom of action and different paths to choose, there are limits. It is not a full, freeform RPG. More is coming! Advanced rules. Freeform adventures. Yes, this is DR2.0. Lightraiders is your foundation and your character will have endless ways to grow from there. Help us get going now, and stick with us for a long and fun adventure. The game mechanics are significantly streamlined. The boxed set comes with basic rules. When the game ships out, we'll release additional advanced rules online for those who want more realistic play, more battle options, and the like. For instance, in the advanced rules, dual wielding is a possibility, and dark creatures react differently to various weapon types.
Oh yes. Lightraiders has been designed with homeschoolers and youth groups in mind. The boxed set will serve as one or two semesters of Bible curriculum, depending on how often you play (once or twice a week). The full system with the planned adventures and Adventure Journal expansion sets will fill six semesters when played twice a week. Every episode fits into a one-hour time slot and employs specific verses. The episode ends with a Know, Grow, Go Bible study that examines those verses in the context of Scripture and asks, "What do we know from these verses? How can we grow from what we've learned? And how can apply these verses to be His hands and feet?"
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.
