Shipping costs will be calculated during fulfilment and vary based on your chosen rewards, their combined weight, and your location. To help you plan for this, we have provided some estimated shipping costs for various rewards on the main page. Note that these may yet change between the time of the campaign and fulfilment.
Hollows is a game about defeating big monsters in really spectacular boss fights. It's a natural fit for minis, no? Well... yes and no. Every monster Hunters fight looks unique, because it's the product of one person's rotten inner world. There's no such thing as a standard Entity. Likewise, with hundreds of Weapon combinations it's hard to make minis that reflect every possible Hunter. So while minis can add a lot to a game of Hollows, we strongly recommend using the ones you already have on your shelves. Plus, the component kit includes an Entity token and several player pieces you can use to represent anything and anyone in a fight.
The Hollows component kit is big. It includes: 1 tactical grid (screen printed on cotton) 6 d20s (enough for a whole group of players) 6 resin player pieces, styled to resemble wooden chess knights (with a little Hollows flair) 8 wooden Curse counters 6 wooden Capacity tokens, shaped like bullets 7 wooden Terrain tokens (double sided; sheltered terrain on one side, elevated on the other) 2 wooden Briar tokens for Staff users 30 acrylic Threat tokens 2 wooden Shotgun tokens 2 wooden Armour tokens 10 wooden Focus tokens 1 wooden Entity and Bleed token (two-part, fit together) 1 wooden Doom token 8 "assist" cards, with key reference information 60 wooden Resolve tokens 60 wooden Wound tokens What do they all do? That's answered in detail in our gameplay video on the campaign page, but the short answer is that these tokens give you everything you need for the smoothest possible Hollows experience. As much as we love the component kit, it's not essential. You can use whatever materials you have on hand as long as everyone's clear on what they represent, and we'll have print and play versions available (for free) as well.
Hollows is designed for roughly 4 Hunters and a GM. We include rules for scaling Entity strength up or down for a larger or smaller group. As well as increasing or reducing Entity Wounds and Resolve (both elements of their overall ability to withstand damage), the scaling rules let the GM add extra abilities, making the Entity significantly more dangerous.
The challenge coin (our magnificent Entity token, in metal) comes in the Conclave and Grand Malignancy pledges, or you can buy it as an add-on. https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/rowan-rook-and-decard/hollows/add_ons/6403/share

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.
