Goals

This is an all or nothing campaign, so if I don't reach my goal there will be no Food War. Together, we can make this campaign a success! Stay tuned to see what rewards we unlock as we build our community and reach our goals!

Shipping



On Backerkit, shipping is collected AFTER the campaign has ended. This ensures I have an accurate price for shipping.
  1.  If you add additional items to your pledge, you will pay the extra shipping for those items. 
  2.  If you choose the "Donation" package and opt to let me donate it to a Local Las Vegas charity, I will deliver it myself. If you want to send it somewhere you'll provide that information once the campaign has been successfully funded.
  3. For now, I only planning to ship to the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. If you are outside these countries, I suggest opting for the Digital packages or contacting me prior to pledging.
  4. You will receive notifications when the items are ready to ship. I hope to mail books in or before January, but if that changes, I will let you know. You will receive a notification when we are getting ready to ship so you can alert me if your information has changed.


Edit

Fulfillment

I plan to be delivering all of the physical rewards by August if not sooner! I have the printer and interior files done I just may be tweaking the cover with your help! Please check out the polls during the campaign to give your input on the game creation.
