Project FAQ
The platform is primarily intended for system designers, homebrew GMs, and worldbuilders who need a way to manage their original content, make it available to players, and want more tools at their disposal for managing their campaigns or running them digitally.
TTM has a lot of benefits for players and non-homebrewing GMs as well! Core system and rules support for cross-referencing and research, easy-to-search rule sets, campaign management, notetaking, VTT support, and play-by-chat support are all integrated into a single platform.
Technically, yes, although all features in place are fully functioning. We consider it to be in beta because we're not creating features and support.
We have a full guide here for anyone looking for answers: https://tabletopmirror.com/pages/6670ad020dfc477270174f31 In short, it's all about storage! All features are for everyone forever!
Absolutely not! No features of TTM require programming knowledge!
We're currently developing new and improved VTT functionality as a part of TTM, making it a one-stop shop for players so you don't need to use TTM and another platform. However, it is very easy to use the features of TTM alongside another VTT if you already have your campaign running there.
TTM is currently free, and we will *always* offer a free membership tier. However, building entire game systems or complex homebrew libraries requires a decent amount of storage space for our servers, so our paid membership tiers will unlock additional storage space for our power users and help offset operational costs for the platform as we continue to improve it.
Yes! We will never paywall any core features of TTM, only storage space.
No generative AI is used in any facet of Tabletop Mirror and never will be.
We’ll be using BackerKit for pledge management post-campaign.
Unfortunately, we cannot ship to some regions due to factors outside of our control. These regions include Afghanistan, Niue, Belarus, Sudan, Laos, Syria, Myanmar, Yemen, Iran, North Korea, Brunei, Ukraine, and Russia.
We'll fulfill any shipping requirements (t-shirts, dice, etc.) ourselves, with private logistics support.
We have all add-ons available as part of the campaign, and you will have the opportunity to increase your pledge and purchase additional items in the pledge manager.
We'd love to help! Please start a discussion with your question or message us on any of our social platforms or email [email protected].
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.
