When will shipping costs be collected?
We plan to calculate and collect the shipping costs once the campaign ends via Backerkit. This is because we can’t calculate costs until after we know how many people ordered physical books and shipping at that time.

When will I get the game?
Ideally, the digital version will be ready by the end of March. (We’ll let you know if something changes.) The physical production is a moving target, but we’re shooting for sometime in April. Again, if that changes, we will notify backers immediately.

What system does Guillotine: Crown of Blood use?
Guillotine: Crown of Blood is based off the TTRPG Armour Astir, and shares many of the mechanics. However, there are some notable differences: namely, the 10 unique playbooks for Guillotine incorporate aspect of design from other PBTA classics such as Monster of the Week and include martyr moves inspired by Heart: The City Beneath, allowing you to give your PC a dramatic and impactful fate when their arc has reached an end.
Likewise, this game shares a lineage with Powered by the Apocalypse games such as Apocalypse World, Monster of the Week, Monsterhearts, and Blades in the Dark. While it doesn’t share mechanics with these games, it is more or less a PBTA game, and we were thinking of these games when we wrote Guillotine.

How will the physical edition be printed?
It will be a hardbound book, digest sized with sewn binding and a page count of about 125. These are subject to change as the printing process has yet to begin but we will keep you informed of any changes to these plans.

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.
