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
Is this a stand-alone RPG?
Not quite. This is best used best alongside the wonderful Cy_Borg by Johan Nohr and Christian Sahlen of Stockholm Kartell, though the base rules of Mörk Borg will work almost as well. This supplements or replaces the character creation and combat sections of any 'Borg-style book. I have a full hardcover book in the works that will, in fact, be a stand-alone game, compatible with Mork Borg and Cy_Borg.
If you have an upcoming hardcover, why should I back this?
Great question! This book will make a fantastic "player's handbook" to hand out while the GM is using the core book to run the intro adventures, manage combat with enemies, or look up loot tables, We all know the pain of rolling up a new character mid-adventure, after all. But the real answer is that the hardcover isn't ready yet, and I want to get my passion project into your eyeballs sooner rather than later.
Will this be accessible to audiences outside of North America?
I can't guarantee any international shipping pricing, but all such costs will be handled after the campaign via a BackerKit survey. I can say, however, that I will have quick-and-very-dirty in-game conversion information for the savage imperial units that this game uses into your more "civilized" metric units. If you're so superior, with your fancy base 10 measurements, why do you want this game, anyway? Just kidding, you're great!
Does Wasteland Degenerates use AI content?
No. Hell no! Matthew and I are committed to promoting human creative content from human artists. Generative AI images were generated using plagiaristic methodology and reliance on it takes jobs from real, talented creators like us. As an aside, before I learned about the content-stealing, I played with a LLM to get ideas for random tables, but it came up with nothing interesting, at all, As Immortan Joe would say, "MEDIOCRE!"
