Project FAQ
Absolutely! Many players have successfully used the setting, lore, maps, spells, skills, and more to add a cozy twist to their regularly scheduled D&D/Pathfinder adventures!
Some of the most significant rule changes include a complete rework of the Harmony Magic system as well as expanded leveling/advancement rules. In addition to rules revisions and streamlining, the second edition also includes new rules, spells, and skills for tea pets and pet management as well as several expansions to the Verdant Isles world and to the village of Oakenbend. These expansions include new lore, locations, NPCs, pets, recipes, and more.
Yes, if you pledge for a physical book, we will send you the PDF copy of that book as well!
Yes, we release new content for Teatime Adventures in our bimonthly cozy games and fiction magazine, Cozy Companion. Several new adventures and lore pieces have been released through Cozy Companion which explore the Verdant Isles beyond Oakenbend. Subscribing to Cozy Companion is the best way to stay up to date with new Snowbright content.
Yes, with some minor modifications you will be able to continue using your first edition books with any new Teatime Adventures content that comes out. We know that some people have grown to love the first edition Harmony Magic tile laying system, however others have had a difficult time getting the system to the table. After listening to feedback from fans, the new Harmony Magic dice pool system was created. New Harmony spells will use the second edition system but can be adapted for backwards compatibility with the first edition system, and it is our hope that the new system provides more immersion and quicker Harmony casting for everyone.
Tea Pets can be integrated into your regular Teatime Adventures campaign or can be played standalone with just the Tea Pets book.
Cozy Companion is Snowbright Studio’s cozy games and fiction magazine. The magazine publishes bimonthly (6 issues/year) and includes new adventures and lore for Teatime Adventures, ink, and Time Tails. The magazine also includes features such as profiles of game cafes, interviews with game designers, and board game reviews written by cats. Backers who pledge for a subscription to Cozy Companion will have their subscription start after they complete the pledge manager and confirm their subscription information on our website. If you would like access to Cozy Companion sooner, please subscribe directly on our website.
Yes! Backers who pledge $1 or more will be able to add items to their order in the pledge manager after the campaign has ended.
A list of add-ons is posted on the campaign page. At this time, we do not expect any other items to be added to that list.
We are working with our partner, Friday Afternoon, to make tea available for individual purchase to the general public after all backer orders have been fulfilled. We cannot guarantee availability of blends or a timeline for this. If you would like to guarantee that you receive tea, we recommend that you pledge at the Tea Party tier.
To get the prelaunch Rains of Starsong tea bonus, you must pledge for at least two physical books ($50) or more (such as a box set tier). If you pledge for the Tea Party or Snowbright Star set, you will receive your full bag of Rains of Starsong tea from your box set pledge as well as your bonus amount from your prelaunch reward. This offer is only available for backers who signed up for the prelaunch notification prior to the campaign going live on Sept. 12. Your prelaunch bonus will automatically be added to your shipment.
We are currently anticipating that the plush will be approximately 8" based on conversations with one of our manufacturers.
Please make sure that you add Snowbright and BackerKit to your safe senders for your email. We send multiple reminders and often post on social media as well as surveys come out and wrap up. If you do miss the survey, and we have already locked surveys please email us at [email protected] for other options for setting up your shipment. We cannot guarantee that we can fulfill your pledge if you do not fill out the survey on time.
Please see the timeline listed on the campaign page. We expect to begin fulfillment by fall of 2024. We ship most packages from our warehouse in the southern United States. Your time to receive your package depends in part on your distance from our shipping location. When possible, we try to fulfill all pledge tiers at the same time, however if there are manufacturing delays on certain items we may split fulfillment. We try to send out PDF copies of products before physical fulfillment has begun so that you begin playing as soon as possible.
Things can get bumped around in shipping! Please take photos of the problem and email us at [email protected] right away. Delays in contacting us about damaged items make it much more difficult for us to address the problem with shipping carriers.
Yes! You will be able to change your address in BackerKit. If you need to change your address AFTER the pledge manager has been locked, please send an email to [email protected].
You may receive quite a few while the campaign is live! After that, expect monthly updates and special updates when there are exciting things to share!
Charging shipping and taxes during the pledge manager phase allows backers to make changes to their pledges, like adding extra items or upgrading to a new level. This also helps us ensure that we get the best pricing for shipping for our backers. We did include a shipping chart based on current expected shipping fees to give you a general idea of what you may be charged when shipping and tax is collected, but keep in mind that shipping prices can and do change suddenly.
We send PDFs through DriveThruPRG. The first thing we recommend is checking your spam folder for the email as sometimes notifications go there. If it's not there, please email us at [email protected] and we will help sort it out!
Most international shipments will arrive directly to your door without additional fees due on arrival. Most international shipments will also require VAT to be paid in advance via the pledge manager after the campaign. Snowbright does not use the term "friendly shipping" due to differences in interpretation of the term. For more information about shipping estimates for this project, please see the Shipping section on the project page or contact us directly at [email protected].
At this time, our project is not available for shipping directly to customers in your country if it is not on the shipping list. If you would like to see our products sold in your country, please contact your local game store and ask them to reach out to us or to their preferred distributor to request our games.
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.
