Project FAQ
Both editions—Standard and Deluxe—are available at a discount through the BackerKit campaign. MSRP will be higher when Pathfinder Quest releases in stores. Also, Pathfinder Quest Deluxe Edition, as well as many of our add-ons, are campaign-exclusive, meaning they can only be guaranteed for purchase through this campaign. While limited stock may be available on paizo.com after the game has shipped, Pathfinder Quest Deluxe Edition will not be distributed to big box stores, Amazon, or game stores that did not participate in the campaign.
We’re keeping a close eye on tariff changes and are prepared to absorb part of the cost if rates shift unexpectedly to minimize the impact on our backers. Our priority is keeping things simple and stress-free for you. Whether that means sharing the burden, adjusting shipping schedules, or some combination of the two, we’ll handle the details to protect your experience the best way we can and keep you informed along the way.
While all shipping costs displayed are estimates, Paizo is working closely with our international fulfillment partners to make sure your games arrive smoothly and at the best possible value, no matter where you live. Shipping, VAT, and other applicable fees will be collected via BackerKit after the campaign once the games are ready to ship.
We are targeting a fulfillment date of Spring 2026 for Pathfinder Quest. The game is finished and files are at the printer—we will be using this crowdfunding campaign to set the print run and order our add-ons from partners, and then everything will be put into production as soon as the campaign ends.
For this campaign, Pathfinder Quest will only be printed in English.
No. All of Paizo's game products are written and developed by humans, with art commissioned from human artists.
We’re excited to try something new, and we want to bring our community along for the journey! This project marks a bold step beyond our usual RPG books and accessories, so we’re turning to crowdfunding to make sure we produce the correct number of copies, include our community, and keep Pathfinder Quest as affordable as possible for both Paizo and our fans.
Pathfinder Quest is set in Darkmoon Vale, the setting of the first published Pathfinder adventure! That adventure—Hollow's Last Hope—alongside two other adventures set in Darkmoon Vale were updated to Pathfinder Second Edition for Paizo's 20th anniversary. If you want to learn more about the history of Darkmoon Vale and Falcon's Hollow or play Pathfinder adventures that tie into the area, Crown of the Kobold is a great addition to your pledge!
We are running a concurrent campaign with our partners at Titan Forge and My Mini Factory for STLs of all of the heroes and creatures in Pathfinder Quest. If you, a friend, or a nearby library has a 3D printer, you can use the STLs from that campaign as miniatures for Pathfinder Quest or any tabletop roleplaying game. The miniatures included in the Miniature Menagerie tier and the Titan Forge Miniature Add-Ons (Hero Pack, Time Dragon (Alternate Sculpt), Early Adventure Creatures, and Late Adventure Creatures) are high-resolution resin prints of these STLs, exclusively printed and bundled for our campaign.
Yes! For adventurers using screen readers, we've created a separate, plain text version of the page which can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JMvNNq0QqSP6nLkbBd9xpfyzlMs2rGVdvoZ-ERpZdg8/edit?usp=sharing
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.
