Witch Pleas Publishing educates through shared stories. From tabletop roleplaying games over Discord, to storytimes and seminars in libraries or tales traded around the Campfire, we believe the best stories are the ones that give us all a voice. Collective creation is our passion and our purpose. We’re a team of dice rolling, online chatting, virtual reality designing storytellers who’ve brought our talents together so that others can develop their talents for tales. We realize this mission by publishing experiential gaming products that teach through doing, not just viewing. Our tabletop roleplaying games are inspired by authentic folklore and classic fiction, shaped through scrupulous scholarly research, and designed by award-winning creators. Our introductory games offer learning through gaming to beginners of all ages, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and social problem solving. Our journals and zines give marginalized voices a forum to be heard, collecting articles, essays, and fiction from scholars focused on alternative experiences and communities.
Our shipping estimates, based on shipping costs at the end of 2024, are: - $20 for Canada and Mexico - $30 for the rest of the world (EU, AUS, etc.) Those have held fairly consistent for the duration of 2024, and we expect them to apply to 2025.
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.
