How do backers of the 2018 Kickstarter Campaign for The Mountain Witch claim rewards?
We have created a special pledge tier for print backers of The Mountain Witch 2018 Kickstarter. By pledging at that level, backers who supported the 2018 Kickstarter at the “Print Edition” and “Deluxe Box Set” reward levels will gain an at-cost hardcover copy of The Mountain Witch, along with a companion box that will include cards, dice, and tokens, as well as space to store the gamebook.
Backers will be checked against the Backer Report for the 2018 campaign; those who are not backers of the 2018 campaign but pledge the special reward level will have their pledges cancelled and refunded.

How was the $6 cost for the 2018 Mountain Witch Kickstarter arrived at?
The $6 cost for the 2018 Mountain Witch Kickstarter pledge level is largely our expected manufacturing costs plus our expected sea freight costs plus our guesstimate on tariff costs (all this is otherwise known as the landed cost). It’s a breakeven price point for us, which means we as the press gain no profit from those copies and Timothy Kleinert receives no royalty payments on them either.

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.
