Project FAQ
YES! In fact, I really enjoy running "solo-journaling" TTRPGs as a duet game with my kid. When a prompt comes up in the game, we chat about it, I help him with writing, and we play together. I've also seen this be played on a stream with the group chat giving suggestions AND I made this with the intention of being available for a classroom assignment too where students can journal separately then compare their story paths.
You can play the game with just the journal - the journal includes everything you need to play from character sheets to the mechanics explination to the story. The slides are a companion to the journal, and they do not include character sheets or an up front mechanics explination, so you will need the journal still to use the slides effectively.
Right now, we plan to have all physical rewards in the mail and all digital rewards fulfilled by June 2025 or earlier.
Shipping, tax, and any other potential country-specific fees will be charged later for a few reasons. 1. Saves on shipping cost: Products are being created as print-on-demand per order and then shipped together. This means that if you order a bundle then also order some physcial add-ons, instead of shipping spearately and charging for shipping multiple times, I can combine the shipping cost to save you money. However, I'll need to look up what that combined shipping cost is for your particular address, and that's best done after the campaign when I can see what your full order is. 2. Allows for accurate shipping cost: Shipping costs, especially international shipping costs, can change drastically over time. Because this project will ship several months after the end of the campaign, it is necessary to calculate shipping cost at a time closer to shipping to make sure the amounts are accurate and can actually cover getting the game to you. 3. Allows for research and accuracy: There are A LOT of different rules and intricacies between countries, and I don't want to mess anything up! Charging tax and shipping later gives me time to research how to ship to and meet all the rules of different countries to ensure that your rewards get to you and aren't held in customs or for other reasons because of inadequate tax or fee considerations.
For the reasons stated above (like shipping requirements changing over time), I cannot give an EXACT number for what the shipping for any location will be, however, it is possible to estimate for some common locations. Here is a range of estimates based on what DriveThruRPG (our printer) and USPS would roughly charge today (July 2024) for these rewards. Low end = more typical for US, MEX, UK, and EUR High end = more typical for some regions in CAN and countries outside of US and EUR Journal only ~ $6 -$20 Journal + Card Deck ~ $10 -$15 Replay Hero Bundle ~ $15 -$20 Boxed Set ~$25 - $60 These are estimates, and I'll calculate the final number based on all of your rewards to save the most that I can for you on shipping. For tax and any other fees for your country, you will be charged based on location. In the US, this will follow state sales tax rules. Outside of the US, it will follow the particular international rules for your location.
You can request a refund within 2 weeks of the end of the funding campaign. The project ends on August 7, 2024 which means you have until August 21, 2024 to request a refund. After that date, we cannot provide a refund unless it is to refund damaged or lost rewards during fulfillment. Failing to provide your shipping address, not paying for shipping, or not paying for tax will not warrant a refund.
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.
