Project FAQ
Regolith Comics is a publishing branch of Regolith Publications, LLC. Both companies were started by author Tristan Vick to showcase his many creative projects. Created in 2020 during the height of the Covid pandemic, Regolith Comics allowed Tristan Vick to break into the Indie Scene with a string of hit titles. Alicia Carter & Robot is the hit series and flagship title of Regolith Comics. But we also publish Daughter of Wolves -- a werewolf vs. vampire vs. monster hunters set in a steampunk / ricepunk fantasy world, The Profane -- a vampire / detective supernatural thriller, and the upcoming cyberpunk series Blood & Chrome (title tentative). Regolith Comics has run 6 successful Kickstarter campaigns with numerous satisfied backers. This is the first time running a Backerkit campaign.
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
Yes! You’ll be able to add copies in the Pledge Manager after the campaign is finished.
All shipping fees will be charged separately, AFTER the campaign, during pledge management. The prices below are estimates. Actual shipping prices will be determined after production is finished and we're gearing up to send out the books. Also, if you add-on additional physical copies of the game to your order, your shipping cost may increase. Estimated shipping costs (for a single book): $10 USA $20 UK $25 Canada $30 International
Since Tristan Vick handles all his own projects -- e.g., creating the stories & scripts, hiring artists, keeping schedules, setting up crowdfunding projects, doing most of the graphic design, lettering and formatting the comics, finalizing print files, uploading to the printers, working with the print companies to ensure quality publications, ordering special perks/rewards, packing and shipping the books & etc. -- the average turnaround time is approximately 5 to 6 months. Expect 6 to 10 months to be on the long end of wait times. If the books have been published previously, wait times can be reduced to about 3 months. It all depends on the current rate of progress of each book and whether or not artists are meeting their deadlines. On occasion, life gets in the way and projects can get delayed and take a little bit longer. The longest wait so far has been for Daughter of Wolves 2 which took a full year because the colorist needed to take a long hiatus due to the death of a beloved family member. Most backers of crowdfunding realize there are longer than average wait times for indie books that lack a publishing house and a 12-person publishing team to get things out more quickly. However, Regolith Comics has fulfilled all crowdfunding projects to date. That alone speaks volumes about the dedication of Regolith Comics to meet its promise to produce and ship some of the best indie comics available today!
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.
