BackerKit Surveys are now Live!
over 1 year ago
– Mon, Jun 09, 2025 at 08:55:57 AM
Hey backers!
Thank you so much for your patience over the past week as we get BackerKit set up for the campaign!
We're pleased to announce that BackerKit Surveys have been sent out to all backers as of this morning! If it doesn't show up in your email inbox right away, give it til tomorrow before contacting support.
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 applied to BackerKit.
2) Please read the question prompts and proceed into the BackerKit "store" (Add-Ons section).
3) Once in the store, you’ll see a list of the items included in your Kickstarter pledge on the right side of the page. On the left, you’ll see the options for add-ons!
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, provide a payment method, and click "Confirm".
Please note: Due to limitations using PayPal, it is not currently enabled as a payment option for this project. We are looking at making it available closer to when we’re charging cards for outstanding balances due to add-ons and shipping costs. Backers who intend to use PayPal as their payment method should be able to complete their surveys then.
7) You will see this below once you have completed the survey!
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.
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.

Smoke Test & BackerKit Guide!

Hey backers!
We’re happy to announce that the smoke tests for BackerKit have been sent out, which is one of the last major steps to bringing the BackerKit online!
Only 5% of backers will receive a 'smoke test' email with their survey, 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!
When the surveys go out, we ask that you complete your survey as soon as possible so we can make our orders with our production partners. We’re looking to get 80% of the surveys filled before mass production starts.

The Humblewood: Beyond the Canopy campaign has ended!
Seeing the excited comments, suggestions & kind words has brought us a lot of joy as we saw the campaign grow with your support!
We raised over $550,000 - unlocking a sidequest for you to explore, a menagerie of new NPCs, new miniatures, and a spread of VTT options for our online enjoyers!
We can't thank you all enough for your support on this project, and we can't wait to get this into your hands.
===
What’s Next?
Kickstarter processes pledges (2-3 Weeks)
Kickstarter is going to begin to process payments for this campaign and the process can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks. During this time, we'll continue to accept late pledges to the campaign!
When the initial pledge processing is complete...
We’ll send out BackerKit surveys!
Surveys will then be sent out to collect your shipping details, along with your pledge selection 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 add-ons.
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.
