How does the custom art work in the Artist's Muse and Queen's Favorite Pledge?
After the campaign ends, you will receive an invitation to the Pledge Manager to fill out your shipping information. Next, I will contact you to get a few photos of your custom art subject/s, this could be you, your partner, a family member, etc. You will also inform me of the title you want on your custom Calling Cards at this time. i.e. Lady ?, Lord ?, Honorable (Hon.)?
Illustrations may take 60 days to complete after I receive your reference images. After the Illustration is complete I will send you a digital proof. You will either approve the illustration or you may request changes at this time. you are allowed 1 revision.
Your illustration will then be produced as a punchboard token that you may drop into the player mat of your choice in the character space whenever you play Apistocracy. This custom character piece will not be sent to everyone, only you. You will be shipped your Deluxe set rewards at the same time as all backers. However, your limited rewards will be shipped separately and prior to fulfillment of the standard rewards. You will not be charged extra for the limited edition reward shipment. You will also receive a digital file of your illustration.

Will Apistocracy be published in other languages?
I would love to offer Apistocracy in additional languages. However, for the Kickstarter I am only able to offer the game in English. I am searching for publishing partners in other languages. If know of a potential publisher who specializes in your language Let them know you are interested in Apistocracy and send them my way!
The game is largely language independent. Also, I will be sharing a Spanish language playthrough by a content creator soon. If you know of a content creator creating playthroughs in your language please let me know and I will connect with them.

Will I be able to get the game as a Late Pledge in the Pledge Manager?
You will be able to get the game as a Late Pledge in the Pledge Manager when it opens. However, Prices will be higher for late pledges. Baking the project at the $5 “Wall Flower” tier ensures that you may take advantage of the Kickstarter exclusive pricing in the Pledge Manager. Also, you will receive a $5 credit toward your purchase there.

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.
