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 do you ship the dice from?
All of our dice will ship from London, in the United Kingdom
How big are the super chonk liquid core dice?
These d20s are exceptionally large at 90mm+ in size. You can view images in the super chonk section on the main page for scale.
How come the dice have bubble in them?
The dice do not have bubbles inside them. They feature a liquid core instead. There are two layers between the actual dice and the encased liquid core. The liquid core sphere is where the liquid is contained. When you shake the dice, bubbles will form in the liquid. Water is a natural substance, so when it is shaken, bubbles will always form. However, it's important to note that the actual main layer of the dice does not have bubbles. It's the liquid core, which creates the galaxy-like effect, that contains the liquid and forms bubbles when shaken.
Are Wild Earth standard size?
Wild Earth Dice are slightly larger than the standard 16mm size, which gives them a more substantial feel and better showcases the intricate details of the inclusions and liquid core design elements.
Will my items appear as they do in the campaign page?
The products displayed on the campaign page are an accurate representation of the final product. All materials and production methods have been determined, and the prototypes shown are produced in the same way as the final products. Therefore, you should not expect significant changes in any colorways. However, as with any product, there may be slight variations. The images on the campaign page are shot under different lighting conditions and at different times of the day. This can affect the appearance of the product, such as variations in wood grain, shade, placement of inclusions, and iconography. Nevertheless, you can rely on these photos to provide a very accurate representation of the final product because they are, in fact, the final product. Will my items look like they do on the campaign page?
Do you plan to use a pledge manager after the campaign ends? If so, when do you anticipate it will become available?
We will be using Backerkit as our Pledge Manager. It will be opened two weeks after the campaign concludes. We will provide you with further details on this process through campaign updates. The pledge manager will be used to confirm your order, shipping address, and to pay for your final shipping and any due taxes. Additionally, if you wish, you can add more items to your order beyond what you initially planned during the campaign.

Will I be responsible for customs or VAT charges?
Please note that backers outside the United States may be subject to additional fees and/or taxes on purchases made outside their country, including pledges to this campaign. These charges will be assessed and collected in the pledge manager after the campaign concludes. This way, you'll receive your order like any other shipment, with no unexpected bills from your local customs office. International backers should keep in mind that they will be responsible for these fees in the pledge manager. We appreciate your understanding!
Hi there! Could you please tell me how I can select the design and colors that I like? Thanks!
This project is offering different reward tiers for sets of seven dice. The prices for one to four sets are already set. But if you want to support the project and pledge for something else, you can adjust the pledge amount accordingly and add ADD-ONS. Once the pledge manager is open, you can choose the specific items you want to pledge for and confirm your order. You can also add more items to your order and pay for any outstanding balance at that time.
Are these dice balanced?
Please note that our dice are designed for casual use, such as tabletop gaming, and are not intended for gambling purposes due to their lack of precision-balancing for perfect randomness. We take this matter seriously and want to ensure that our products are used appropriately. However, we want to assure you that the liquid core and other included elements will not significantly affect the balance of the dice, and they should still be random enough for most practical circumstances. We appreciate your understanding and compliance with our guidelines.
Is shipping free?
Unfortunately, we cannot offer free shipping. Shipping costs are not included in the pledge cost because there are several factors influencing it, such as the location being shipped to and the size of your order. Estimated shipping amounts are provided on our main Backerkit page, and final amounts can be calculated in our pledge manager after the campaign concludes.
Where do I select the items that I want?
Once the campaign concludes, we will send out an email with our pledge manager and you will then be able to select the dice you wish to receive. This will generate an order form for us, which we will use to fulfill you order with your selections.
Are there any uninked versions that I can get?
Unfortunately, we cannot offer uninked designs at this time, and all dice will be delivered as pictured, with the exception of the bonus reward set, which appears uninked here, but will be inked in silver upon fulfilment.
