Is this tied to a certain 1980's science fiction book?

No, this is a dark fantasy adventure and doesn’t have much connection besides the name. There’s only so many good evocative titles for a giant pokey thing that impales something. We dig that book though too.

What is an auric homunculus anyway?

Believed to be another creation of the cult of Mammon, these creatures appear as horned infants with the lower bodies of serpents. Their flesh and scales are golden, their eyes rubies of impressive size, and their fangs sharpened diamonds.

Unlike most other currencies, Auric Homunculi are sentient and actively resist being carried or spent. They cannot speak but cry, bite, and attempt to crawl away from their bearer unless restrained. They are usually stashed inside jars or soundproofed boxes.

A live Auric Homunculi is worth 100,000 gold pieces. A dead Auric Homunculi rots away and is worth nothing.

BackerKit FAQ

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.
