What does the new Die of Barcane mechanic do?
The Die of Barcane Chaos unleashes wild, magical effects into the dungeon! Every Loot Card that’s played moves the die closer to activating, and the player who triggers it (after 7 Loot Cards are played) must roll to determine their fate! It’s a brand-new mechanic to an already fun game.

What’s your max player count with Heroes for Hire?
Heroes of Barcadia is a 2-6 player game. With the party pack expansion, you can have up to 8 players at once. The Heroes for Hire cups allow you to replace legacy characters with new characters. So the max (with the Party Pack) is still 8 to keep things balanced.

Does this game only work with alcohol or can I drink anything with it?
You can use whatever drink you like to play Heroes of Barcadia: Heroes for Hire! It’s a Liquid Life System that can be used with water, juice, or anything else that’s liquid. You don’t have to drink it either if you don’t want to! You can just toss your lost HP out.

Do you have to be 21 to play?
The box says 21+ for legal reasons, but the game itself doesn’t come with any alcohol, just alcoholic puns, and can be played with the whole family!

Will you translate the new content into my language?
Unfortunately, as a US publisher, we only publish our content in English. But if an international publisher wants to work with us, we’d be happy to work on localizing Heroes of Barcadia and Heroes for Hire. The process does, take a while, but until then, you can download the Google Translate app and use your camera to translate the text on the cards.

What is BackerKit? What is a Pledge Manager?
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!
Creators use our Pledge Manager to send out ‘Surveys’ to backers. These Surveys really help project creators with data management. Having backers fill out this survey allows us to align order data perfectly to integrate with their production and fulfillment partners to find out counts to produce rewards, and to reduce any issues when shipping.
The survey lets backers change the order information that they originally submitted, add more items, as well as edit their shipping address. Without the survey, every backer that wants to make a change would need to write in and have the data manually edited in a big spreadsheet, which is a headache.
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.

Will the Heroes for Hire and Die of Barcane Chaos be added to the Roll20 version of the game?

Do I need Heroes of Barcadia to use the Die of Barcane Chaos?

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.
