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.

How is Campfire ideal for gamers with kids?
Campfire makes TTRPGs easy to learn and accessible. Our rules are written for a 7th-grade reading level and can be learned within five minutes, and we provide guidance on how to take shows, games or stories a starting player might already know and use those as the basis for stories and characters.
How is Campfire ideal for educators?
Experiential learning is on the rise, increasingly effective, and an exciting tool for educators. Campfire explains how to take a classroom subject and transform it into a game session. This technique of learning through games, not tests, and through experience, not mere recitation. Here's a Harvard study summary page on the subject: https://ablconnect.harvard.edu/role-play-research
How much of Campfire is complete?
All the text of Campfire is complete, including the story sheets, and a printer for the book, cards and case has been selected. The art will continue to develop throughout the Campfire crowdfunding campaign, but is estimated to be complete before the crowdfunding is over.
