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
Why did you make this new rule system for Fragged Empire when the core rules exist?
The core Fragged rules is very confident and proud about its crunch and depth and I think it would have failed everyone if I made some lame attempt to simplify those rules. RAG-TAG is my big step towards making a rule system for the setting that is confident and proud about it being rules light and heavy on the drama. RAG-TAG's target audience is to reach out to those who like the Fragged lore but may have bounced off the core rules because they like something lighter and more theatrical.
Why did you not use one of the existing rules-light systems out there?
I'm a creator at heart and I love to make new and original things; new settings, new game mechanics, original art, etc... RAG-TAG is partially me having fun as I try new things and give my take on a rules-light RPG.
What is the estimated delivery date?
I hope to have everything ready 1.5 months after campaign end (this gives time for funds to go through and the commission of a little more art).
