Project FAQ
Please refer to the estimated shipping table in the campaign. This has varying tiers of costs depending on what add ons are added to your pledge level. Any additional add-ons may increase this estimated shipping cost, due to the additional weight of the add-ons. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any queries on shipping.
Due to the fact that we are a small team of two people, there may be a delay in deliveries if the project goes really well. This is because we plan to be self-fulfilling as did on our Overgrowth, Forest Folk, and Pete's Plaice campaigns.
We will be using recyclable materials for packaging. We will be delivering to our local postal office, which is within walking distance to reduce unnecessary vehicle usage. The Zine, along with any pins, games, expansions and art prints are all manufactured in the UK, which means that there are no additional carbon footprint. Our card games printed on high-quality card to ensure durability of play. For those who are adding on the Forest Folk base game and Twisted Muse, Hope & Fear Forest Folk Duo of Expansions. We plan to reduce unnecessary packaging for the duo of expansions, as this will fit into the base game box.
We cannot be held responsible for any delays in shipping due to unforeseen circumstances. During our Overgrowth campaign in 2024, there was a month long postal strike in Canada, which meant that our Canadian backers were delayed in receiving their rewards. However, all rewards were made and shipped within three months of the campaigns completion. We will hope to do the same for this project.
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.
