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
When will I receive my Calendar?
You will receive your calendar before September 2024. Yes we know crowdfunding is well known for always delivering late. Yes we know that calendars are rather time sensitive! No this is not our first time crowdfunding and fulfilling an international project. Yes we absolutely promise you will get this on time!! And you can check out our other projects for peace of mind.
Are the maps wipe clean?
No, the calendar is printed on glossy art paper, but it's not laminated and thus not wipe clean. We are including the digital maps which can be printed at home if you'd like more copies to amend :)
What size are the maps?
They are 12x12 inches, with a 1 inch grid.
What level are the adventure written for? And are they linked?
The adventures are all stand alone scenarios written for the maps in the calendar. We have made them fully playable as stand alone adventures, and also provided plot hooks and ideas on how to incorporate them into your ongoing campaign. The are written for a range of levels between 2 and 9, and we offer tips and advise on adapting the adventures for higher or lower levels. It is our intention with these adventures that they will be as easy to insert into your ongoing campaigns as they will be to run as stand alone scenarios.
Are the adventures easy to adapt to other systems?
Yes, the adventures can be easily adapted for other systems.
How do I get the adventures?
There is a QR code in the calendar which leads to the adventures and digital maps. As a Backerkit Backer you will also get sent a special code to access your digital content.
Will there be a pledge manager?
Yes. We'll be using Backerkit for our pledge manager survey.
Is there UK & EU VAT?
Yes, VAT will be calculated and charged in the pledge manager for backers in the UK & EU at the local rate.
