What is Monsters & Myths, and how does it stand out from other TTRPGs?
Monsters & Myths is a multi-world tabletop RPG system designed to take you across diverse, interconnected universes, each with its own mythology, themes, and gameplay challenges. Unlike traditional RPGs locked into one setting, our system uses a unified mechanic to seamlessly transition between worlds—be it a folklore-rich Caribbean island or a cyberpunk dystopia. It’s built for flexibility, creativity, and replayability, offering endless storytelling possibilities.

How will backers receive their rewards?
We’re focused on timely delivery. Core rewards are digital and will be sent out within days of the campaign wrapping to eliminate shipping delays and extra costs. Physical rewards, such as custom playing cards or rulebooks, will be fulfilled through experienced partners and are estimated to ship within 3 months of the campaign’s successful conclusion. Weekly updates during the campaign and biweekly updates post-campaign will keep you informed every step of the way.

What does the Fateweaver title mean, and how do I get it?
The Fateweaver title is an exclusive, honorary add-on that recognises your role as a backer in helping shape the Monsters & Myths universe. Backers with this title will be credited in the “Fateweavers” section of our [rulebook/website/credits] to immortalize their support. It’s a small but meaningful way for us to thank you for your contribution! (Note: This is purely honorary and does not confer any legal or intellectual property rights.)

Do I need special dice to play Monsters & Myths?
Nope! You don’t need any dice to play Monsters & Myths. The game uses a standard deck of playing cards to resolve actions and encounters. If you’re after a more immersive experience, we offer a custom deck of cards specifically designed for the game, featuring unique artwork and symbolism tied to the game’s world. But if you prefer to keep things simple, a regular deck of cards will work just as well. It’s all about what makes the game most enjoyable for you!

What are modular worlds, and how do they work in the game?
Modular worlds are self-contained settings within Monsters & Myths, each with its own lore, creatures, challenges, and flavour. These worlds share a core set of mechanics, allowing players to transition between them seamlessly or even blend elements from multiple settings into a single campaign. For GMs, they act as narrative toolkits, providing endless opportunities to craft unique adventures while maintaining consistency across the game’s mechanics.

Is this your first crowdfunding campaign?
No. Our team has had two other successful campaigns—The Diary of The Stray Dogs: The Wounded on Indiegogo in 2022 and Alluhwi Comics Presents on Kickstarter in 2023. Both campaigns helped us hone our approach to delivering value to backers while building strong relationships with our community. With this experience under our belt, we’re excited to bring Monsters & Myths to life with the same dedication and attention to detail.

I’ve never backed a crowdfunding campaign before. How does it work?
Great question! Crowdfunding can seem a bit intimidating at first, but don’t worry, it’s a straightforward process. When you back a campaign, you’re essentially pre-ordering the product—whether it’s a game, book, or something else—before it’s produced. You’ll choose your reward tier, pledge your amount, and once the campaign ends, we’ll work to fulfill all rewards. We’re committed to keeping you updated every step of the way. If you have any questions or concerns, we’re always here to help. Backing Monsters & Myths means becoming part of something exciting, and we’ll make sure you feel confident and informed throughout!

What are the shipping details for physical rewards?
Core rewards are digital and will be delivered within days of the campaign wrapping, so no shipping fees there! For physical rewards, we haven’t started production yet, but as soon as they’re ready, we’ll share product dimensions, estimated weights, and the shipping costs. Please note that shipping fees will depend on your location, and there may be separate VAT and customs fees, depending on your country’s regulations. We’re committed to keeping you updated every step of the way, and we’ll provide all the details you need once production is underway.

Last Updated At: 04/10/25What 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.
