Project FAQ
Because we've sold out, or are close to selling out! A reprint not only allows us to restock for the foreseeable future, but also allows us to make minor corrections the community has requested.
Each of the three books remain largely the same. There are a few corrected stats in Savage Foes, a few clarifications and simplifications in the GM Handbook, and some balance changes in the Player's Guide (many around choosing items from the Hero's Journey table rather than rolling, and around adding steps to skills rather than starting with a set die type). A complete list of all the changes can be found here: https://peg-rifts-for-savage-worlds.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/SWADE_Rifts_2p-proposed-changes.pdf Once the books themselves are available the official Updates sheet (a free download found here: https://peginc.com/savage-settings/rifts/) will also include the updates above.
Nope! We're going to reprint the original three books and the boxed set, this is just an opportunity for anyone who wants the book to be a part of it and get them before they're available at retail. As with all our reprints, all changes will be available as a free download on PEGinc.com. If you missed the book, or lost one, or just want the convenience of all the updates in print you're welcome to join in!
When the 2nd printing books begin distribution the PDFs for those books get updated on PEGinc.com and DriveThruRPG.com for those who already own them. At the same time the Updates file on PEGinc.com gets refreshed, and then any changed stats and rules are considered official. Until then, play groups can decide to implement the rules previewed here as they like, but the current printing stands as the "rules as written."
You will be charged for shipping in the BackerKit pledge manager after the campaign ends, close to when the physical products are arriving for delivery. International Pledges We've worked hard to make connections with regional shippers in UK (also covering the EU), Australia, and Canada to keep costs down. These partners handle filing most customs/ VAT/GST etc. We'll share the rates and details for these areas closer to the time for shipping. For all other locations internationally, shipping rates can vary. If you would like our staff to check your rate, please email us at [email protected]. There's always a chance we can work out a better deal to, say, Mexico, than what we're charging for South Africa!
We're thrilled that BackerKit offers the option to pay in installments on all Pledge Levels over $150. https://help.backerkit.com/article/805-pay-over-time However, if for some reason a backer cannot make all the payments they forfeit the pledge items. If you have any questions please email us at [email protected].
Nope. This is a simple reprint campaign. We do not intend to offer any stretch goals (what BackerKit calls Achievements) for this project. If you have any questions contact us at [email protected].
There are no digital-only Pledge Levels for this campaign. Anyone who pledges receives the equivalent PDF(s) for no additional charge. If you want a PDF of any of these products you can buy them right now at https://peginc.com/savage-settings/rifts/ The current Revised PDFs will be automatically updated to the Revised 2nd Printing closer to delivery to match the new books. You just need to look for the notification and download the file again to get the new version!
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.
