Project FAQ
All items are delivered as codes that are redeemable on Drivethru RPG. You MUST have an account with Drivethru RPG to redeem the codes. For POD (print-on-demand) items, the backer must pay the shipping and basic print cost of the item. At the time of launch, the print cost for the Reference guide was $5 and the Owl Creek adventure was $2.50. These prices may change before the codes are received. Shipping is based on your locations, but Drivethru RPG has printers on most continents, making shipping prices reasonable for most.
Both the adventure and reference guide are complete, and test prints have already been ordered. If any adjustments need to be made after reviewing the test prints, there will be ample time to make corrections during the course of the fund drive and still deliver on time.
The PDFs and POD titles have already been uploaded to Drivethru RPG's system. Once the funding period ends AND Backerkit has deposited the funds, we'll begin sending out surveys to collect your Drivethru RPG email addresses for redemption. It usually takes about two weeks from the end of the campaign for the funds to be delivered, then another week to collect your emails.
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.
