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.
Project FAQ
What is Monsters & Myths, and how does it stand out from other TTRPGs?
Monsters & Myths is a multi-world tabletop RPG system designed to take you across diverse, interconnected universes, each with its own mythology, themes, and gameplay challenges. Unlike traditional RPGs locked into one setting, our system uses a unified mechanic to seamlessly transition between worlds—be it a folklore-rich Caribbean island or a cyberpunk dystopia. It’s built for flexibility, creativity, and replayability, offering endless storytelling possibilities.
How will backers receive their rewards?
We’re focused on timely delivery. Core rewards are digital and will be sent out within days of the campaign wrapping to eliminate shipping delays and extra costs. Physical rewards, such as custom playing cards or rulebooks, will be fulfilled through experienced partners and are estimated to ship within 3 months of the campaign’s successful conclusion. Weekly updates during the campaign and biweekly updates post-campaign will keep you informed every step of the way.
What does the Fateweaver title mean, and how do I get it?
The Fateweaver title is an exclusive, honorary add-on that recognises your role as a backer in helping shape the Monsters & Myths universe. Backers with this title will be credited in the "Fateweavers" section of our [rulebook/website/credits] to immortalize their support. It’s a small but meaningful way for us to thank you for your contribution! (Note: This is purely honorary and does not confer any legal or intellectual property rights.)
Do I need special dice to play Monsters & Myths?
Nope! You don’t need any dice to play Monsters & Myths. The game uses a standard deck of playing cards to resolve actions and encounters. If you’re after a more immersive experience, we offer a custom deck of cards specifically designed for the game, featuring unique artwork and symbolism tied to the game’s world. But if you prefer to keep things simple, a regular deck of cards will work just as well. It's all about what makes the game most enjoyable for you!
What are modular worlds, and how do they work in the game?
Modular worlds are self-contained settings within Monsters & Myths, each with its own lore, creatures, challenges, and flavour. These worlds share a core set of mechanics, allowing players to transition between them seamlessly or even blend elements from multiple settings into a single campaign. For GMs, they act as narrative toolkits, providing endless opportunities to craft unique adventures while maintaining consistency across the game’s mechanics.
Is this your first crowdfunding campaign?
No. Our team has had two other successful campaigns—The Diary of The Stray Dogs: The Wounded on Indiegogo in 2022 and Alluhwi Comics Presents on Kickstarter in 2023. Both campaigns helped us hone our approach to delivering value to backers while building strong relationships with our community. With this experience under our belt, we're excited to bring Monsters & Myths to life with the same dedication and attention to detail.
I’ve never backed a crowdfunding campaign before. How does it work?
Great question! Crowdfunding can seem a bit intimidating at first, but don’t worry, it’s a straightforward process. When you back a campaign, you're essentially pre-ordering the product—whether it's a game, book, or something else—before it's produced. You'll choose your reward tier, pledge your amount, and once the campaign ends, we’ll work to fulfill all rewards. We’re committed to keeping you updated every step of the way. If you have any questions or concerns, we’re always here to help. Backing Monsters & Myths means becoming part of something exciting, and we’ll make sure you feel confident and informed throughout!
What are the shipping details for physical rewards?
Core rewards are digital and will be delivered within days of the campaign wrapping, so no shipping fees there! For physical rewards, we haven’t started production yet, but as soon as they’re ready, we’ll share product dimensions, estimated weights, and the shipping costs. Please note that shipping fees will depend on your location, and there may be separate VAT and customs fees, depending on your country’s regulations. We’re committed to keeping you updated every step of the way, and we’ll provide all the details you need once production is underway.
