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
How do I qualify for the special Stillfleet × Blackthorn Collab bonuses?
Back this campaign at the level of "Wacky Action Hog (the book)" or above AND back the campaign for Blackthorn at the appropriate level (determined by Spicy Tuna RPG). If you back both campaigns, you unlock: • 2 bonus micro-adventures (oversize postcards) • 1 free Stillfleet enamel pin
How do I qualify for the bonus scenario featuring Scruth-Scruth the Talking Chubcat!?
Back in the first 48 hours! We'll send everyone who backs early a free PDF with rules for playing as a delightful/annoying monster-gremlin-pet-lil guy, plus lots of ideas for weird side-adventures inside a perilously nostalgic mega-techno-dungeon. It's a great addition to the world of Stillfleet, so don't miss out!
Product details (sizes, materials)?
Enter the Nostalgitron is a comic book-size (168.3 × 260.4 mm), full-color, perfectbound (softback) book of 64 pages. The Scruth-Scruth bonus PDF is full-color and should be about 8 pages long. The bonus crossover postcard is oversize (139.7 × 215.9 mm), full-color, front and back. The acrylic standees are standard battlemap-miniature size (25.4 × 50.8 mm, with 1-inch bases), full-color. All paper products are printed using FSC certified paper.
Shipping details?
We will collect shipping fees after the campaign, closer to when we have the books printed and minis manufactured by Boda Games. Physical rewards will be shipped by Studio 2. We'll have more details on physical shipping costs as we get closer to actually sending out packages. PDFs will be sent by DriveThruRPG. We'll also add them to BackerKit, so you can find all of your BK rewards in one place.
Project timeline?
Development We are almost done with all project materials. The book is written, illustrated, and laid out. We are making some improvements and adding additional graphics in response to playtest feedback. The Scruth-Scruth side-episode is also written. The art for the minis is done. The enamel pins are already made. Fulfillment We will fulfill rewards as soon as we can. Our current deadlines are: • Send backers PDFs by July 3, 2025 • Send backers all physical rewards by March 3, 2026 We will update backers on the manufacturing and shipping timeline as soon as we can, once we're done with the campaign and have placed our order with Boda Games.
Can I get a refund?
If the campaign is still live, YES. If you can't figure out how to un-pledge (i.e., if there's a technical error), please email [email protected]. You can CC [email protected], and we'll make sure it gets out. If the campaign is not live, NO. Sorry, we need to know how many books to order from our manufacturer, so refunds are not allowed after the campaign ends.
