Is this a core rule book?
Yes! You don’t need any other books to play this game. That said, it’s compatible with Dungeon Crawl Classics so you can pull spells, monsters, and adventures from DCC and it’s many settings/ sister-systems.

Do you ship outside the US?
No, but we are offering a Print-on-Demand coupon code for international backers.
Due to the complexity and expense of international shipping, we are unable to offer direct shipping in other regions.
After backers receive their books, Academia Arcana RPG should become available through Goodman Games and other retailers. If a backer is aware of a fulfillment partner in their region, please reach out to [email protected] with information.

How much will shipping cost and when will it happen?
Shipping will be charged during the pledge manager phase, after the fundraising campaign is completed. It is estimated around $10 for most backers. We expect products to ship by the end of January 2027.

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.
