Why are you using Kickstarter for this project?
Kickstarter helps us fund the writing, design, art, layout, printing, and manufacturing for the full Roadside Encounters line. It also lets us gauge interest early, unlock more decks through stretch goals, and build the project alongside the community.

What is Roadside Encounters?
Roadside Encounters is a line of travel encounter decks for tabletop roleplaying games. Draw a card during travel and drop a meaningful moment into the journey, with very little prep.

What kind of game is this made for?
Roadside Encounters is system agnostic. That means it is designed to work with a wide range of tabletop RPGs rather than one single ruleset.

Does this only work for fantasy games?
The starting decks lean fantasy in tone, but many of the ideas can be adapted easily for adjacent settings. The core design is focused on giving GMs flexible travel encounters they can reskin as needed.

How do I choose my decks?
On Kickstarter, you choose how many decks you want. After the campaign, we’ll send a survey for you to choose which unlocked decks you want in BackerKit.

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.
