The 'Get Mortalised' tier is for if you really just want to send me a big dollop of extra money as a tip. It's a play on the classic 'Get Immortalised' tier that other campaigns tend to have — instead of getting your name in the book, you get to be dead, unrecognisable, and forgotten! (Yay!) After the campaign, I'll contact everyone who pledged at this tier, and they can submit a short list of trinkets and possessions that their character would have. One of the corpses in the facility will be found with a submitted item of yours, and a few of your other items will show up in the 'room loot' table. I reserve the right to veto items, or ask you to resubmit.

Unfortunately, if the shipping weighs more than 200g, it stops counting as a 'letter', and starts counting as a 'parcel' instead — for this reason, I couldn't do add-on zines. 😔 Maybe next time!

If you back both Roach Motel and Eight Short of a Dozen at the physical level (or higher), you'll receive a free bookmark featuring illustrations inspired by both projects. The bookmarks will be packed and sent with your Eight Short of a Dozen pledge rewards (which will be sent after Roach Motel).

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.
