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
Will World's Largest Dungeon be in 5th Edition 2014 or 2024?
World's Largest Dungeon has been in development for over 18 months, and is developed for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (2014). We will issue a free 2024 Conversion Guide PDF to all backers. This PDF will include guidance to beef up the encounters and bosses for balanced 2024 play.
What about Tariffs?
We are prepared for Tariffs. We planned ahead. Our campaigns and fulfillment plans were developed with awareness of the current volatility with tariffs and potential tariff changes, and we've already taken proactive steps to mitigate risk. Tariffs are a challenge, not a roadblock. We are still moving forward with our planned crowdfunding launches and print runs. 1. We're industry veterans. We've weathered past global disruptions, from COVID to container shortages, and delivered. We’re applying that same resilience and experience here. 2. Diversified production. We work with a variety of partners across multiple countries to reduce reliance on any single region, including China. We can and will produce this game even if the current high tariff with China remains in place. 3. We’ll keep you informed. If tariffs ever do affect a specific item or project, we’ll let you know early and clearly. You’ll never be in the dark. 4. We'll split the bill. We commit to paying 50% of the tariffs if it comes down to it. 5. Lastly, we're implementing a no-questions-asked refund policy. If, for some reason, you are hit with a fee you don't want to pay, you won't have to. We commit to fully refund any pledged amount upon request, minus 15% for platform and credit card fees. Your trust is everything. We’re committed to honoring your support with quality products, on-time fulfillment, and full transparency: tariffs or no tariffs.
