Smoke Test + BackerKit Survey Guide!
almost 3 years ago
– Wed, Dec 08, 2021 at 02:28:32 AM
Hey backers!
We’re happy to share that the smoke tests will go out within the next few hours! Only 5% of backers will receive a smoke test, so if you don’t receive one during this process, your survey will go out with the rest of the backers once we’ve confirmed everything is working as expected!
Below, we’ve included a guide to help you complete your surveys.
BackerKit Survey Guide
1) Select your country for shipping and click "Get Started". If you would like to upgrade to a higher pledge tier, locate the link under the "Get Started" button and click that instead. Please note that if you switch pledge levels, add-ons selected on Kickstarter will not be automatically appliedto BackerKit.
How to switch your pledge tier!
2) Please read the question prompts and proceed into the BackerKit "store" (Add-Ons section).
Important notes regarding Tarrasque and Mini tiers and add-ons!
If you're in the Tarrasque or 1 Set of Minis tier, you'll indicate your selections in the first section of the survey (1. Questions)
If you added a Tarrasque and sets of minis asadd-ons, you'll indicate your selections in the second section of the survey (2. Add-Ons) after the add-on page included as an image in step 3.
We know it sounds a bit confusing! It should be clear as you complete your survey, but we wanted to give folks an idea of what to expect.
3) Once in the store, you’ll see a list of the items included in your Kickstarter pledge to the right of the page. On the left, you’ll see the options for add-ons!
How things should look during Add-Ons (Selected Kickstarter add-ons are highlighted in blue)
4) Once you've selected all the items you want, click "Next".
5) Enter your shipping address and click "Next".
6) Confirm the provided information is correct, pay for extra add-ons, and click "Confirm"
Preview your selections here!
7) You will see this below once you have completed the survey!
And that's it!
Surveys and addresses will be locked closer to fulfillment so you’ll be able to make changes even after submitting your survey until we let you know otherwise! Payment for outstanding balances will be collected at a later date.
When the surveys go out, we ask that you complete it as soon as possible so we can make our orders with the production facility. The longer this step takes the longer we have to wait for the product! We’re looking to get 80% of the surveys filled before production starts so we can ensure we have enough for everyone.
Commonly Asked Questions on BackerKit Surveys
Can I upgrade my pledge through the survey?
Yes! When you get your survey hit the button below "Get Started". This will enable you to up your pledge tier in case you've decided you want a different deal!
My payment didn’t go through and I was dropped from the Kickstarter. What do I do?
Don’t panic! You should still receive the BackerKit survey and you’ll be able to pay for your pledge there.
I missed the campaign. When will preorders be open? They're now live!
BackerKit Smoke Test + STL File ETA

Hey backers! Thanks again for your overwhelming support and enthusiasm for this project. Now that the campaign is over, the real work has begun! We’re so excited to have you along for this journey with us.
In this update, we have news regarding BackerKit surveys and STL files!
Smoke tests next week!
We will be sending smoke tests next week to ensure everything with the surveys goes smoothly. A small percentage of backers will get their surveys and the feedback from that test will tell us if there are any errors or issues that need to be addressed before we send it out to everyone. When it comes back with no errors, we’ll be sending the rest out in batches next week! Keep an eye on your inbox!

The first 4 sets of STLs are just about done!
The team has been hard at work on the miniatures, and we are currently applying the finishing touches to the STL files for the Tarrasque and the first 4 sets of miniatures so that we can share them with backers! It won’t be much longer before they’re ready to distribute. In fact, once 80% of BackerKit surveys get filled out, we’ll release them to celebrate!

Kickstarter processes pledges
Kickstarter is going to begin to process payments for this campaign and the process can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks. When we get confirmation from them that this step is complete, we’ll send out BackerKit surveys!
BackerKit surveys go out!
Surveys will then be sent out to collect your shipping details along with your pledge and add-ons. You'll be able to upgrade your pledge or add additional add-ons with the survey as well! As we get closer to releasing surveys, we will have information on how to fill out your survey, as well as specifics for choosing your minis and the Tarrasque options. We ask that you hold your BackerKit questions until then! Surveys will be open until we start fulfilling, but to guarantee your order we suggest filling out the survey as soon as possible.
Digital Rewards
We will be sending you the digital files through BackerKit as rewards are completed. The PDF of the campaign setting has an estimated release date of Fall 2022!
Did you or a friend miss out on backing the campaign? It’s not too late!
We will be accepting late pledges for the books, box set and add-ons! Everything that's been unlocked (excluding Kickstarter exclusives) will be available for preorder.
