Project FAQ
The Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game corebook contains everything you need to play, other than some standard gaming supplies: pencils, maybe some scratch paper or a notebook, and some gaming dice (in particular, the Cypher System uses a d20, a d6, and percentile dice). Because it's an existing item, and we're crowdfunding new titles to go with it, we aren't offering it as a standalone item in this campaign. But all of the New to the Family pledge levels include the corebook--we included those levels just for you! (If you want only the corebook, you can order it right now via the MCG Shop: www.montecookgames.com/store) The other items offered through this campaign--the new books, Prop Set, dice, and so on--are extras that add to the immersion of the experience and make running and organizing your adventures and characters that much faster and easier.
Your pendant will be automatically added to your rewards. You don't need to do anything to make that happen. You'll get it with other rewards when they fulfill. (You get this special Jack's Fate even if you back at a PDF-only level--you'll have to pay for shipping at the time it fulfills, though.) You might also get the standard Jack's Fate pendant by backing at a pledge level that includes it, or as an add-on. That will be a standard pendant, and your special one will have the exclusive alt finish.
We’re making some cool things for this campaign, and we appreciate your interest in our non-game add-ons. While we don't have plans to include an add-on only pledge level, many of the items we're making will be available for retail purchase upon their release. (Those marked Limited Edition are likely to only be available through this campaign.)
We intend to make late pledges available following the campaign, and backers will be able to upgrade their pledges, and add add-ons, in the pledge manager. As always, to absolutely ensure you don’t miss out, our advice is to back the campaign even if it’s at a lower level than you want. This will ensure that you’re in the pledge manager, where you can make upgrades if you like, after the campaign closes.
The key titles offered through this campaign—Dig Your Own Grave, All Your Gods Are Dead, and Come Hell or High Water—will be available through the MCG Shop, finer game stores, and other places you buy TTRPG products. Some of the other items (such as the dice set) will probably be available through the MCG Shop, but not in stores. And a few (the witch jar and T-shirt, for example) are limited-edition items made just for this campaign, and will probably not be available at any other time. We can't provide a definitive answer for every item, so if there are items you want beyond the primary books, your best bet is to pledge for them—particularly since the deals offered through these pledge levels are fantastic!
We intend to keep the pledge manager open for at least a few months after the campaign closes.

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.
