BackerKit Surveys Have Begun To Launch (PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST)!
5 days ago – Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 12:51:13 PM

Hi everyone!

We are pleased to tell you that our BackerKit surveys have begun to go out! Thank you for your patience as we prepared them.

PLEASE NOTE: BackerKit will send surveys in waves over the next two days, so please allow up to 48 hours for your survey to be processed and sent to you. If at that point you still have not received one, first please check your spam folder, and check that the email you used on Kickstarter is the email account you're checking.

If that doesn't work, you can click the link below to enter the email address associated with your survey and BackerKit will send you a new one:

Please note, if you use an Apple ID with your email address, a different email could be generated for you for security reasons. If you need this email changed, just click here to direct message us so that we can help! (must be logged in to your Kickstarter account for this link to work).

If you need to modify or upgrade your pledge in BackerKit, see something that doesn't look right, or have any other issues/questions,  just click here to direct message us so that we can help! (must be logged in to your Kickstarter account for this link to work)

Surveys will remain open for about 30 days, then we will lock orders and charge for shipping (you can still modify your address if needed). 

Once locked we'll have proper order numbers so that we can begin going into production on items, and we'll be able to distribute digital rewards shortly thereafter!

Additionally, if you or someone you know missed the Kickstarter and wants to still get in on the action, we're accepting late pledges here!

Surveys Being Tested!
8 days ago – Tue, Jun 09, 2026 at 08:43:22 AM

Hi everyone,

BackerKit has reviewed and signed off on our surveys, so we have begun doing a "smoke test", which is where we send surveys to a small group of backers to make sure there aren't any issues before sending them out to the larger group.

Assuming there are no hiccups or issues reported during the test, we plan on launching surveys to the wider group by this Friday.

We'll do an update when this happens, so stay tuned!

Surveys Launching Soon
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 15, 2026 at 03:41:09 AM

Hi everyone,

We are finalizing a few things with the BackerKit surveys and they will begin to go out in the next week or two.

We'll do another update when they do launch so everyone is aware, and this won't impact the fulfillment date, so we appreciate your patience!

Thanks!

Action Philosophers: Modernity Bites Kickstarter Has Concluded! A Thank You From Fred And Ryan + Details On Late Pledging And Post-Campaign Surveys!
2 months ago – Thu, Apr 09, 2026 at 12:02:43 PM

Thanks you so much for your support, guys! That means the story of philosophy has at last a satisfactory conclusion and we won’t leave people hanging to find out what happens at the end like that George R. R. Martin guy. THE NORTH REMEMBERS, GEORGE! 

– Fred & Ryan

----------------------------

Post Campaign Details:

We at Rocketship Entertainment would also like to say thanks to everyone who made this such an awesome campaign to be a part of!

There are a lot of questions coming in now that the Kickstarter is over, so let's dive in:

Q: I missed the campaign - can I still pledge?

A: Yes! We have Late Pledges turned on! If you go to the campaign page you'll see this at the top above the title. You can still go select rewards as if the campaign were live.

Q: When will the BackerKit surveys be going out?

A: We are aiming to have surveys launch around the week of May 11th. When surveys do go out, they will go to the email address you have associated with your Kickstarter account. We'll do an update officially announcing when they have begun to go to everyone. It's worth noting though, that it can take BackerKit up to 48 hours to process all surveys fully. If at that point you still have not received one, please check your spam folder, and check that the email you used on Kickstarter is the email account you're checking.

Note For Apple ID Users:

Please note, if you use an Apple ID with your email address, a different email could be generated for you for security reasons, and as a result, you might not receive an email to your survey. If you need this email changed, please click here to direct message us so that we can help!

Q: What's the purpose of the survey?

A: We use these surveys primarily for two reasons:

  • To collect shipping payments and addresses for all our backers, so that we can eventually send their pledge rewards.
  • To provide backers with the ability to modify the reward tier they selected or get a last chance to add-on items. 

Q: How long will I have to complete my survey?

A: Our goal is to get as many surveys completed by backers as possible, so we give around 30 days from their launch to allow everyone proper time. If you need more than that, it's ok. :) 

Q: When will my order arrive?

A: As noted in each reward tier, estimated fulfillment is set for February of 2027.

With fulfillment timelines, please be mindful of the following, which is noted on our FAQ:

The delivery dates associated with each reward are based on our anticipated production schedule. They are not guaranteed and, as they are described, are ESTIMATES. Once we finish surveys and all add-ons are locked we go into production on those items and will provide campaign updates throughout the process. Should dates shift, which is not uncommon, we will provide new estimated delivery dates in updates. Please note, that no date provided should be considered a locked and promised date until we have the books at the warehouse and until such time all estimated dates are subject to change.

With that said, Rocketship Entertainment has never had a funded Kickstarter that did not end up getting fulfilled, and you can view the status of all our projects, both in-production and fulfilled in the link below:

Q: Who can I talk to if I have questions, requests, or issues with my order?

A: If you have questions about your order, click here to DM us! Please always direct message us here on Kickstarter. We can't perform customer service on social media or in the comments section of the campaign page.

Thanks!
