What Will The Hardcover Look Like? And the Printing and Shipping?
The Hardcover of Gubat Banwa will be around 400 pages long of Letter-sized Hardcopy in premium print paper. We will be working with the luminous Andreas Walters of Metal Weave Games for shipping and printing, so rest assured that we will be able to fulfill our orders!
We’re working with both a US and EU distributor so shipping costs should not be too high, but we will be able to have shipping estimates very soon. Please watch this space!
The shipping will not be through Print On Demand but rather through Metal Weave’s publishing services. We’ll look into if we’ll ever have Print On Demand after the Kickstarter!

Will the Kickstarter version of the game be mechanically different from the version on Itch/DriveThru?
TLDR: Same game, different layout, print and accessibility-friendly versions will still be available.
A: There will be two different versions of Gubat Banwa: The current minimalist and print-friendly layout, and the more visually dynamic layout as previewed on the Kickstarter page. The hardcover will only feature the latter.
The itch/DriveThru version will eventually get the newer PDFs, but that will come much further down the road.
Also- there is no difference between the “Basic” PDF and the “Premium” PDF.

Is there a way to get just the artbook or any of the other pieces from higher tiers on the Kickstarter?
TLDR: Soon!
A: We are in the process of setting up a pledge manager through Backerkit, which will allow for some measure of that to be possible. Stay tuned!

Is the text final?
Not at all! It’ll be worked on as Backers get early access to the newest versions. But the mechanics, rules, and designs are all done and crystallized.

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.
