A Step-by-Step Guide to Backing Fateforge on Kickstarter

On February 11, the pre-orders will open for the highly anticipated second printing of Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan (Deluxe Edition) and its new expansion Kin of the Wild!

Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan is a story-driven co-op action adventure board game for 1 to 4 players that respects your time. The pre-orders will go live on Kickstarter – a crowdfunding platform where you can support creative projects (by “backing” them) to help bring them to life.

Step-by-Step: How to join the Kickstarter campaign

2. Pledge on Kickstarter

What does pledging or backing a game mean? It basically means you pre-order a game on Kickstarter – a crowdfunding platform where you can support creative projects (by “backing” them) to help bring them to life. You pre-order the game on the campaign page, get charged when the campaign successfully finishes and will be asked for your shipping information when the games are ready to be sent from the factory.

Backing a game on Kickstarter means you get the game before it hits the local shops and often you get a lot of exclusives with it that you’ll never find in stores!

Once the campaign is live, choose a reward, or pledge level, from the right-hand side of the page.

A Kickstarter campaign usually offers different pledges. Every pledge level includes a list of items you’ll get if you pledge at that level. In the upcoming Fateforge campaign, you can decide if you would like to get the Fateforge base game, the new expansion Kin of the Wild and/or the all-in pledge, which includes all Fateforge products!

Click ‘Continue’, check the amount, and click ‘Pledge’.

You have now selected the game(s) you want to pre-order. Only at the end of the campaign, on March 5th, your credit card will be charged for your order.

We are one of the first creators to offer Kickstarter’s new feature that allows backers to split their pledge into 4 equal payments!

Here’s how you can take advantage of this option:

• You can access Pledge Over Time once you reach a $125 pledge minimum (Emperor’s pledge or any pledge with add-ons that reaches a $125 minimum)
  You will see an option to “Pledge in Full” or “Pledge Over Time”
  The first charge will happen when the campaign ends successfully, with the remaining 3 happening every 2 weeks.

We are excited about this enhanced flexibility for our community of backers. If you have more questions, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to the Kickstarter’s support team here.

A couple of weeks after the campaign ends, you’ll get an email inviting you to the pledge manager, where you can manage your pledge. In the pledge manager, you can confirm or upgrade your pledge level, pay for shipping, and confirm your delivery address. You can check out the shipping cost estimates and more information about shipping zones on the Kickstarter campaign page (under “Shipping”). Your accurate shipping cost will be calculated in the pledge manager after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

Once the campaign is finished, we will start mass production of the games. During this time, we will keep you posted about the progress with Kickstarter updates. You will receive these automatically in your inbox when you’re a backer. Once the games have been printed, they will be shipped all over the world and you will receive an email with your tracking number.

6. Enjoy the Fateforge adventure!
