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
Has AI/GenAI been used in making Arlo The Artisan?
Absolutely not. Categorical NO. We do not use AI, and everything you see was thought, discussed, written, drawn, edited, etc. by humans and humans only (we still use computers, but no AI).
How much of the Pamphlet is ready?
The Art, the lore, the map, and the rules contained in Arlo The Artisan are ready. Some of the content in the stretch goals are far beyond just ideas, but not in a ready state. Depending on how the campaign go, we will get other professional involved to get an even better pamphlet for you!
When will it be ready and how much will shipment cost.
We are planning to have the rewards to you by summer, like we did with Notorious Style. In 2025 there are potential questions of tariffs being in place, which didn't exist last year and we might print in different geographies to accommodate the situation if it arise and avoid you to pay any extra taxes. We will charge postage when we are ready to ship it.
Will there be less typos in the pamphlet than in this campaign
Clément and I are both dyslexic, so we are on friendly terms with typos, they are like our little home imps. That said, the pamphlet will be reviewed and corrected by a professional editor before it reaches your hands.
