Only metaphorically, like in Hook.

No, nothing beyond minor typos will change in the book itself. This is simply a high-quality reprint, with new extras like maps and dice.

Slugblaster has some mature themes (like the parodying of drug PSAs), but is otherwise suitable for most audiences. No swearing, gory art, or direct drug references or anything like that. It would be appropriate for children old enough to watch something like the Spider-Verse movies.

The main risks are in delays and shipping. Delays because we try our best but we're also trying to make something really rad and shipping because, well, shipping is bad right now, and the costs for shipping may go up. Other than that, the core game is already 100% finished with just a few design elements to finalize - the box, what goes in it, and any Stretch Goals we may unlock and design as a result of this campaign. Mythworks is a veteran of over 15 crowdfunding campaigns so we're well versed in the trials and tribulations therein.

The world is chaotic and things are constantly changing when it comes to worldwide logistics. It's tricky. It sucks. There's no way to predict accurate shipping at the time of a campaign's fulfillment and rates continue to go up. We're charging for shipping after the campaign ends near fulfillment. We've learned a lot over the past few years, including the need to over-communicate and be absolutely 100% transparent when it comes to shipping. Here is exactly how we're going to handle shipping: 1. Announce Shipping Rates. We'll make sure you're well aware of the shipping rates by listing the full rates here as well as having them implemented on BackerKit. We'll make several announcements during the week and give Backers two weeks until we charge cards. 2. Wait Two Weeks. We'll announce once again the shipping rates again after one week. 3. Give Final 48 Hours Notice to Charge Cards. After the two weeks we'll give a final 48 hour notice that charges will be going out. 4. Charge for Shipping. Then we'll charge for shipping and push them through to fulfillment. We have warehouses in the USA, UK, and EU from where we'll be sending out goods. We're actively working on finding better partners and solutions for Canada and Australia/New Zealand, but rates remain very high for those territories.

For the USA, UK, and EU - no. We're based in the USA and have import EORIs et. all for the UK and EU. For Australia, New Zealand, and Canada - potentially, but we're working on partners with fulfillment centers in those territories to make sure that doesn't happen. In the past, these territories have sometimes been hit with VAT from packages sent from the USA, sometimes not - it really depends on who's inspecting at the time. For ROW - potentially as well, as we are shipping from various places around the world depending on the rates.

Bummer to see you go, but of course! Just write to us to let us know.

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.
