What does it mean that I get the book at cost through DriveThruRPG?

In order to keep shipping cheap and bring the best value to you we are using a print on demand (POD) service called DriveThruRPG. Once the book is ready to be printed, you will get a special link to order the book at cost through DriveThruRPG. They will print their book at one of their print shops in your region and ship it directly to you. You will pay whatever costs DriveThruRPG would normally charge us plus shipping, we won’t make any money off your transaction with them.

Support free or pre-supported? The page mentions both, which is it?

Minis are pre-supported, terrain is designed to be printed support free.

We design some of our minis to print support free and estimate about 25% of the minis won’t require support. Regardless, all minis come with a pre-supported and support free version of the file. Terrain is 100% support free and doesn’t come pre-supported.

What if I don’t have a 3D printer but want the minis?

Even if you don’t have a 3D printer there are a lot of ways you can use the STL files to get minis. There are many online services like Shapeways that will print your files for you, or you can look at places like Etsy where people specialize in printing tabletop roleplaying miniatures.

Can I sell the minis I print?

Backing any of the Kickstarter rewards gives you a license to print the STL files for personal use.

At a later date, we will release details on our licensed seller program that will allow you to sell prints of our models. We plan to make this a fair program based on trust that charges a % commission on sales with no upfront fees.

You are not permitted to share or sell the STL files in either case.

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.
