Project FAQ
We are aiming to fulfill all pledges within a year from when the campaign ends, with an ideal timeline of October 2025. Digital rewards will be fulfilled sooner upon completion, and will be available via itch.io or DriveThruRPG (selectable after campaign ends).
We will be releasing all digital content through both Itch.io and DrivethruRPG, and as a digital download through Backerkit. You will be able to select where you want your PDFs to be stored after completing the pledge manager.
Yes, you will need at least ONE of them, but not both. The Core Book and Direct Action Quick-start Book are designed to operate from the same core ruleset, they just implement those rules differently. Any rules that are specific to EITHER of the two books will be included as part of the Adventure PDF, allowing you to play them regardless of which Book you have!
There will be limited Add Ons after the campaign to allow the purchase of multiple books, or individual One Shot Adventures, after the campaign. We've set up our Pledge Levels to be the absolute best value for money you could get. If we start offering individual parts of our bonus goodies at specific prices, we get into the muddy world of over-charging for things! Adding them to different levels adds all kinds of extra fulfilment costs. We're having to operate within a capitalistic system, and we'd rather not price-gouge over maybes and flexibilities.
This is our first TTRPG release, so we're not looking to run before we can walk, but we're definitely thinking about setting something up after the campaign. Honestly we love the idea people having fun with the system, hacking it and taking their own spin with it. The more people we hear from who are interested in creating games based on our system, the more we'll put in the effort to make it easy, so please get in touch!
There is, though it was only ever used for in-person playtests. We'll probably put it together afterwards if we don't hit our soundtrack stretch goal, but otherwise we'll be adding Lisa's Why We Fight soundtrack to every Bundle Pledge! Want to know more? Check out our stretch goals!
Shipping to the UK, EU, USA and Canada will all have any applicable VAT costs covered by the shipping fees. Please note that shipping prices are estimates based on current average prices, and these may change. Shipping is a complex beast, even without disasters, but we'll do our best to keep it as close as possible to the prices listed.
We know that times are tough and sometimes unexpected events mean your backing of a cool new RPG was perhaps not as financially doable as you once thought. We get it, we've been there. That's why we're happy to refund your pledge (minus third party fees) without quibble up to 2 months after campaign end. Just let us know, we'll sort the rest. Partial refunds after this point may be available on request, but will not be possible after 6 months, as funds have been allocated to production.

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.
