Will this be compatible with One D&D/6e/the next version of D&D?
As far as I can plan for, yes! They’ve stated that the new system mechanics will be compatible with 5e, and as best as I can tell so far that shouldn’t affect most of the content in this book. If there is content that would be affected (most likely to be Histories/how to convert Backgrounds to Histories, and Advanced Trainings), I will plan to add sidebars or a section of its own to the book explaining how I would convert content if such a conversion is needed.
At the time of writing, the release date was accidentally leaked as May 2024, so there’s a good chance I’ll have the new system in hand before the book is completely finalized.

There wasn't an early bird specific tier - how do I know I'll be getting my reward?
BackerKit tracks when pledges occur, so as long as your pledge was in the first 48 hours and you pledged for a physical reward you’ll get the reward added in the pledge manager!

Why are you still making 5e supplements? WotC/Hasbro sucks!
Fortunately, it’s free to design for 5th edition! The SRD is out in creative commons, meaning I don’t have to rely on WotC to do the right thing with the game. I had some ideas that were best expressed first in 5e’s mechanics, so that’s where I’m starting. There are a lot of other amazing systems out there (I’ve designed some myself too), and I’m excited to expand or even convert my works into other systems in the future. A lot of people still play and intend to keep playing 5e with or without supporting WotC.

How come you're only shipping from the US?
In my first campaign, Injuries and Vile Deeds, I partnered with ShipQuest to handle some orders from their UK hub to reduce shipping costs for UK/EU backers. Unfortunately, this ended up causing a number of delays in fulfillment and added a number of additional expenses and stresses to the project. If there ends up being a high international demand for the project, I will look into other options for more localized fulfillment, but I can’t promise anything at this time.

How can I get help with my pledge?
Contact BackerKit’s support first as they’ll be the quickest to handle any issues that might arise. If there’s something they can’t help with, they’ll pass it on to me.

Injuries and Vile Deeds is already released - when will I get my PDF? When will my hardcover ship?
If you pledged for a copy during the campaign and have therefore already paid for your copy, you will have a download available as soon as surveys go out (that’s probably already happened if you’re reading this). If you purchased a copy of the hardcover+PDF after the campaign, you’ll get your PDF copy after I lock orders and charge cards. Hardcovers will ship alongside any other physical items you pledged for to reduce shipping fees.

How will you fulfill digital rewards?
I will provide digital rewards as downloads in BackerKit. I may also provide an option to download PDFs via DriveThruRPG

My country should have lower VAT for books - will I really have to pay the VAT shown?
Certain countries like the UK have 0% VAT on books. I will add a credit equal to the VAT difference to backers in these countries to ensure they’re not being over-charged after I lock orders.
If you don’t see this credit added after your order is locked, please email me at [email protected] so I can take care of it for you.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
