What is the BackerKit pledge manager?
A few weeks after the Kickstarter is over, backers will receive a link inviting them to their pledge survey on BackerKit, a website that will allow them to add on items and pay for shipping, add-ons, etc. It functions much like a web store with photos and descriptions of each item. You will be able to enter your address and edit it before we ship the project. Nearly all large Kickstarter projects use a pledge manager as they greatly help organize, track, and fulfill orders.

If I pledge “No Reward”, can I upgrade my pledge in the pledge manager and/or access the add-ons?
If you pledge “No Reward”, you will have the option to upgrade yecour pledge in the BackerKit Pledge Manager. Maintaining your “No Reward” tier, however, will not give you access to backer priced add-ons or any exclusives.

Can I add items now to my pledge?
Add-ons are only active during the post campaign add-on store through BackerKit. If you would like to add money towards these items and towards shipping, you may manually add an additional amount of funds to your pledge via Kickstarter while the campaign is live.

What is the difference between the BackerKit backer add-on store and the BackerKit Pre-order Store?
The backer add-on store has backer discounted add-ons and exclusive items available only to backers. This is what backers will receive access to to add on items to their pledge and pay for shipping. The Pre-order Store opens a few weeks after the campaign to those that may have missed the campaign, but items are available only at the retail price and exclusives are excluded.

How do I know I am receiving the free first 48 hours incentive Head of Light Entertainment Sash?
As long as you pledge for a physical tier before 10am Eastern Standard Time on Friday October 21, 2022 then you will receive the sash!
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:09
If I change my pledge will I lose my Head of Light Entertainment Sash as an early backer?
No! The time you make your initial pledge is always time stamped with your pledge, so even if you upgrade your pledge tier we will always be able to associate you with the first 48 hour backer group.

I know about role-playing games, but I don’t know much about Monty Python. Will I enjoy this Programme?
Egads! How have you made it this far in life? If you are unfamiliar with Monty Python’s work, you might not get every single reference, but it won’t impede your ability to play the game.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:13

Prior knowledge of role-playing games is not necessary.

I don’t know much about Monty Python or role-playing games. Will I enjoy this Programme?
Gracious. What have you been doing with yourself all these years? Kill both swallows with one coconut with this game. Oh, you don’t know Monty Python, so that reference will not have landed…yet.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:13
Is this game based on or compatible with Dungeons & Dragons or some other rules system?
No. The game utilizes a new, proprietary, terribly exclusive ruleset.

How many players is this game for?
2+
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:18

Do I need the custom dice set to play the game?
The game requires all the standard role-playing game dice (20-sided, 12-sided, 10-sided, 8-sided, 6-sided, and 4-sided), but it also requires some less common ones: 30-sided, 18-sided, 16-sided, and 14-sided. If you don’t want to purchase the complete custom dice set, you can play the game with a standard set of dice and use a digital dice-rolling app for the less common dice when they are called for.

Do I need these tokens to play the game?
Tokens are not required for gameplay. You can track Merits and Demerits on character sheets or using any other bits and bobs you have to hand.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:18
What size are the tokens?
40mm octagons and 3mm high.

Do I need Fetchez la Vache! to play the game?
No, you can use a regular backgammon board. If you don’t have one of those, you can just roll again on the Dire Consequences table when Fetchez la Vache! comes up.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:18
Must I have the Fetchez la Vache! board and catapults in order to run Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme?
No, though studies have shown that catapults greatly increase learning outcomes.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:18
What is the size of the board?
Estimated size: Open: 17.13” long x 21.65” wide x 1.48” high. (43.5cm x 55cm x 3.75cm) Closed: 17.13” long x 10.83” wide x 1.48” high. (43.5cm x 27.5cm x 3.75cm)
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:26
Can I play Fetchez la Vache! on a standard backgammon board?
Yes. The game works fine on a backgammon board of any size, though if you plan to use dice catapults, you’ll want to use one with a playing surface of at least 12” x 24”…unless you are incredibly skilled with dice catapulting.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:26
Must I buy or own dice catapults to play Fetchez la Vache?
No. There are alternate rules for determining where the farm animals land if you aren’t keen on catapulting dice. You can also use a thumb-flick.
Last updated: October 19, 2022 07:26
Can I play regular old backgammon on the Fetchez la Vache! board?
Certainly. The set comes with standard checkers, two six-sided dice, and a doubling cube…everything you need to play backgammon.

Approximately 1.18” (30mm) tall.

Do I need the screen to play the game?

Why can’t I add the sash as an add-on?
Because the Ministry of Superfluous Sartorial Accessories says so.

Will the Programme be available in languages other than English?
We think so but can’t share any specifics yet. More to come through updates to our backers and the Exalted Funeral newsletter, which you can sign up for here: www.exaltedfuneral.com. As of now, Latin and Semaphore are priorities, and if you are wondering whether the English language version will be Americanised, we encourage you to give yourself a few raps about the head with something blunt and heavy.

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.
