Will there be a Pledge Manager?
Yes! We will be using a Pledge Manager for the shipping, taxes and fulfillment of VoidSea. You’ll get an email to fill out a survey after the campaign finishes. Here you’ll give us your address and have a chance to raise your pledge tier and add more add-ons :)

Will the handouts be available digitally? Or are they strictly print?

If you purchase the handout add on, this will include a digital PDF version. The same is true for the item cards, mutation cards, and any other paper-based accessories.
-
All digital handouts are also included in the VTT Bundle and the Digital Asset Bundle.

How do I get add-ons?
Simple. After you choose a tier, you can add add-ons. If you don’t choose them, you can hit ‘manage your pledge’, ‘change your pledge’, and add them.
You’ll have another chance to increase your pledge and purchase add-ons when we send out our pledge manager surveys, so don’t worry about missing out.

Can I upgrade my book covers to Deluxe? Can I get the slip case?
Yes! Once the campaign ends and we move to our Pledge Manager, there will be a question asking whether you want to upgrade the covers for Voidsea or Salt, Storm, & Steel to Deluxe, and/or if you want to add a slip case.
The slip cases come with all three books (Voidsea, Salt, Storm, & Steel, and the Art Book), and the case itself comes in two flavours: Core and Deluxe. The Core slip case comes with all the Core covers of Voidsea and Salt, Storm, & Steel, while the Deluxe case comes with the Deluxe covers. There is only one cover option for the Art Book.

Nope. Nada. All our art is original. We have a whole art book showing the processes!

What can I expect to find in this Kickstarter? What’s the difference between the two books?
VoidSea is a campaign for 5e D&D (2014 and 2024 rulesets). It has two facets: a sourcebook (Voidsea) and an adventure book (Salt, Storm and Steel).
Voidsea contains: Player options (species, subclasses, and feats), a mutation system, reinvented naval combat rules, an arsenal of equipment for ships, a shipiary (a bestiary of ships),Harvesting and Crafting Lite rules, Kaiju Fighting Lite rules (with an original kaiju!), a hoard of magic items, a library of new spells, and a bestiary
Salt, Storm and Steel contains: 8 adventures, 40 random encounters for the high seas, a horde of monsters, A few spells, and MOAR magic items.
Furthermore there is an artbook that will contain all the art of the VoidSea and a player-GM facing softcover that will include a comprehensive guide on most of VoidSea’s key mechanics and new gameplay materials.
Additionally, there are 4 Adventure bundles, the Mimic Ship Miniature starting Kit, a plethora of dice, handouts, cards, and more products for you to check out.
More information on some of them can be found in separate FAQ threads.

Adventure Bundles FAQ
- What does each Adventure bundle contain?
You can find each Adventure bundles detailed components in the add-ons section and in the main campaign page.
In short, each Adventure bundle contains: 1 Boss- Kaiju mini, various Crew member minis, 1 ship mini, various miniature components, 1 Adventure booklet, 1 dice set, 1 card deck, maps, punchboards, handouts and all you need to run one or more VoidSea adventures.
All this is packaged into two boxes, a Crew box, and a Kaiju box. These boxes each correspond to 1 adventure (2 linked adventures total).
- Can I get only the boss miniature- only the crew miniatures from an Adventure Bundle?
No, the Adventure bundle contains both the boss miniature and its gameplay contents and the crew miniatures and their gameplay contents. To have such a big discount from retail prices, they are not being sold individually.
- Are the adventure booklets from the Adventure bundles included in the Salt, Storm and Steel Adventure book?
Yes, they are.
- Can I get an Adventure bundle’s digital version-equivalent somehow?
Yes and no. The easiest way to get everything digital is the Digital Deluxe tier. We haven’t offered more granular options because the savings on that are ridiculously good value: it doesn’t make sense to buy them piecemeal.
If you ONLY want STLs, than you can join the Add-on Tier and add the four bundles there for $80. But for $20 more you get EVERYTHING in the Digital Deluxe tier—all the PDFs, the mimic ship digital package, digital art assets, and a VTT

-Do the miniatures come prepainted?
No, none of the miniatures comes pre-painted, with the exception of the Mimic Ship in the Whalerman- Jaws tier.

All you need to do is select the $1 Add-on Tier and then select the below add-ons: The Mimic Ship- VoidSea Starter Kit, the Bloodlust Adventure Bundle, the Chtulkin Adventure Bundle, the Hivebloom Adventure Bundle and the Pyreforged Adventure bundle. These add-ons include all the miniatures, they also include more products, but it is the only way to get all physical miniatures at the lowest cost possible.
-Can I get only the boss miniature/ only the crew miniatures of an adventure bundle?
No, that’s not possible, each Adventure bundle includes both the Boss miniature and the Crew miniatures, as well as all their other gameplay components (booklet, map, dice, miniature components, cards, handouts).
- Do the physical miniatures come assembled?
Yes, the physical miniatures will come pre-assembled.

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.
