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

Do you need Mörk Borg to play Vast Grimm?

You do not. Vast Grimm is a stand-alone game. But you will need the core rulebook, Skeleton Crew, or the online rules to use the expansion books in this campaign. Even though you don't need Mörk Borg for this game, I highly recommend you add it to your RPG collection. It is what inspired Ross and myself to make Vast Grimm!

What size are the books?

They are A5 size. Small enough to snuggle in bed and read without being uncomfortable.

Do you have a discount for retail stores

Yes, I love to support FLGS. There is a retail pledge level.

Can I just get a copy of the Skeleton Crew PDF?

This will be free for all backers!

How do I get in touch with you?

Where can I get the other Vast Grimm books?

Why the Horde logo at the bottom?

Because this is only a Creature Curation project, I wanted to include that for now while we navigate the asteroid field of how it should be handled.
