Can I add-on other LionWing TTRPGs?

The sidebar rewards say that each tier gets all unlocked stretch goals. How does that work for something like the dice bag that was unlocked?

Unfortunately, the text in the sidebar is somewhat inaccurate. While most stretch goals will apply to all backers, some will not (such as the dice or book upgrades, which wouldn’t impact the folks grabbing only the PDF). Once a reward tier is published on Kickstarter, however, it can’t be edited, so we can’t go back and change the wording. Thus, use this FAQ as clarification on the matter.

Is there anything exclusive to the Kickstarter?

Yes, the Ryude Edition and the Collector’s Box Set are exclusive to Kickstarter. These will be made-to-order, with a few dozen extra printed in case replacements are needed for any reason.

Will the GM Screen only have art on it or will it also have a handy quick rules reference? Given the plethora of rules to keep track of, a handy reference would be nice.

Yes, it will absolutely include rules references on the inside.

BackerKit FAQ

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.
