Backers at the ALL-IN pledge levels get early access to the text content of Cypher Decoded. This will consist of text documents. We’ll deliver them as soon as the text is complete and presentable (meaning through the early stages of editing, but not necessarily proofed or finalized). We expect to deliver these documents several months after the campaign closed—mid 2027, most likely. Although this draft will not be formatted or laid out, it’ll have all the information you need to the new options in play.

Probably, but we aren't ready to guarantee or offer it just yet. We're well into the process of developing VTT support for Cypher, with Roll20 as the first supported platform. (In fact, we may have some news to share about that during this campaign!) Until that process is complete, we aren't ready to commit to the scope or timeline of VTT implementations for Cypher supplements.

Cypher Character Options adds more breadth—particularly in the genres and types offered—but not really many optional rules or ways to take Cypher in a whole new direction. Cypher Decoded includes even more new types and genres, but is mostly about new options and ways to customize Cypher.

At the time of the Cypher: Faster. Easier. And Even Better! campaign we weren’t sure if we’d make the Cypher Bestiary (not to be confused with Cypher Bestiary II, being funded through this campaign) available to the general public—or if so, when. As promised during that campaign, we’re making a premium version for those backers—it’s at the printer right now! And good news: we’re also making a standard version, available as an add-on through this campaign and also, in the months to come, for sale through the MCG Shop, your FLGS, and everywhere you buy RPGs.

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.

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.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

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.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
