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
Where Can I Buy a Copy?
You don't need to, the full document is available for free here:
Do I Get Anything for Supporting?
We are not fans of closing content behind payments if we can afford not to. Your pledge will support us in cleaning up this class so that more people can enjoy it, but is by no means required. All pledges will be given access to our feedback channels, and our design notes document.
Are You Producing Physical Copies?
As much as we'd love to, this class is not nearly large enough to justify a physical print run. It's a dream for another day.
Why Don't You Use the Pathfinder Action Symbols?
The diamond action symbols of pathfinder are not available for public use without committing to one of a few licencing options. In short, doing it this way game us freedom to distribute this document however we wanted. We're committed to open gaming, and this seemed like the best way to do that.
