Do you ship internationally?

Yup! Of course, just because we’re shipping internationally doesn’t mean it’ll happen fast. So, if you’re outside the US, it’ll probably be a bit of a wait.

If I get the Deluxe Hardcover, are you also going to send me the normal hardcover?

Nope, if you pledge to get the Deluxe Hardcover, you’re getting one copy of the book, with the fancy Kickstarter cover instead of the normal one.

Is Dark Matter going to include any new content from that which is released on the Patreon?

For those of you not in the know, we’ve been developing Dark Matter for nearly two years now over on the Mage Hand Press Patreon, and we’ve even recently released four chapters from the book over there. (The original release had all seven chapters, but we’ve fully revised the book since then.) The final version of Dark Matter on the Kickstarter will have new material, improvements, and fixes that won’t been seen on Patreon.

Why does it cost so much to ship to me? What do you have against [my country]?

For the shipping prices, I’m afraid they’re about accurate – these are the prices we was quoted by the US Post Office; other shipping services were similar. Since this is our first Kickstarter, we didn’t want to take any risks in undercharging the amount of shipping, since we can’t be too sure about things like customs or processing fees popping up unexpectedly.

If this Kickstarter goes well, we’ll look into using international shipping fulfillment services on our next project, both to bring down prices and secure a more stable rate.

Does this have anything to do with the old TSR system, Dark*Matter? What about the show Dark Matter?

Nope, Dark Matter is a wholly original property. We think we’re in the clear in terms of trademarks, but we’re still hashing it out with our lawyer if we need to add a subtitle to the book to avoid any complications.

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.
