[SYSTEM] Do I need to play other titles to play this?
No, you don’t. Drakonym is a complete and self-contained experience. However, if you’ve played our previous titles, we’ve included tools to help you transfer your characters and continue their journey in this new system.

[SYSTEM] Will this system support Solo or GM-less play?
Yes. A full Solo Rulebook is included with this campaign, offering dynamic tools for hex travel, prompts, and dragonbonded journaling without needing a Herald or traditional GM. You DO NOT need the Core Rulebook to play Solo/GM-less but it is recommended to get access to all the core classes/paths/kin etc.

[SYSTEM] What makes this system different from other fantasy RPGs?
Drakonym blends narrative-driven play with tactical depth using a unique attribute + attribute dice pool system. It avoids traditional class arcetypes and supports class-path mixing, and centers emotional storytelling through its dragonbond system.

[SHIPPING] Why is the shipping so high compared to older campaigns?
Shipping rates increase each year, and these books are also far longer than older titles. With three full books included, the weight and class of each parcel essentially triples, especially with upgraded packaging for international durability.

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.
