BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
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.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

I Heard That Monte Cook Games is Working on a New Version of the Cypher System, How Will That Affect Six-Gun Doomsday?
Great Question! The good folks at Monte Cook Games were kind enough to discuss their plans with us for upcoming changes to the Cypher System, and the news is all good! The major changes announced for the upcoming "Cypher: Evolved" include genre based character creation to make it easier for new players to play Cypher, and a new damage system to use a wound track for damage instead of subtracting points from your ability pools. The good news is that these changes will have little effect on Six-Gun Doomsday. - Six-Gun Doomsday includes a simplified character building system - Character Profiles - to quickly create characters based on common tropes of these genres. - Six-Gun Doomsday uses it's own simple and dramatic damage system different that the original Cypher System or the upcoming Cypher: Evolved. We anticipate the full version of Six-Gun Doomsday will release early in 2026, while the next version of Cypher won't be until later, perhaps a year after that (that's our guess). We'll release the amazing adventure and setting of Six-Gun Doomsday to backers ASAP so you can play right away with all the really cool additions you will love. As a backer to this Six-Gun Doomsday campaign, once the next version of Cypher is released, we'll also get you an updated version of Six-Gun Doomsday at no additional charge to make use of any other cool options in the game! (for print on demand orders, this won't include shipping cost). Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions about this. Thanks, all!
What is So Weird About This West?
Before Doomsday, the industrial revolution that brought waves of wondrous devices enabling improved means of production also empowered a generation of inventors whose devices could be rightly described as curious and bizarre. Their creations were often astounding and occasionally dangerous. Average citizens scoffed at these newfangled machines which left them uninformed about new methods of production but equally safe from any of its accidental abnormalities.
When will shipping be charged?
Please note that all printed products will be fulfilled as Print on Demand. You will receive a credit on Drive-Thru RPG to order your books. Note that this credit does NOT cover shipping, so you will be charged for shipping on all Print On Demand orders.
When will my rewards ship?
We anticipate that the final version of Six-Gun Doomsday will be completed in early 2026. If we have any unanticipated delays we will communicate this through our community page and emails and we'll keep the schedule updated here and at https://shadomain.com/
