I am concerned about the content of this game. Who should I speak with?
We stand by this credo: researched and inspired by history, the characters, world and situations in FLAMES OF FREEDOM are a work of fiction. This game was designed, developed and produced by a multicultural team of diverse identities, beliefs and orientation.
We took measures early in our process to prioritize Black, femme, Indigenous and marginalized freelancers to lead development in their respective areas. This includes numerous cultural consultants from the Indigenous nations we represent, accessibility readers to make FLAMES OF FREEDOM a great user experience, perspectives on sex positivity and how we treat trauma with maturity (and not as a throwaway ‘sanity’ mechanic). We have given all of our freelancers carte blanche to speak critically and openly about their experiences with FLAMES OF FREEDOM, if they choose to do so.
We’ll be featuring some of our developers in coming interviews throughout the Kickstarter. Watch this space.

Will FLAMES OF FREEDOM be compatible with Zweihander RPG & Main Gauche?
It sure will! As with every game powered by Zweihander RPG, while each game have its own special demands or unique qualities to meet its play style, FLAMES OF FREEDOM will be 100% compatible with the Zweihander RPG game line.

Do the shipping costs include customs charges (VAT/GST)?
They do not.
Depending on where you live, VAT/GST (“customs”) may be added to your order in Backerkit. After collecting these fees, our fulfillment partner SkuTouch will pay the taxes and file paperwork for you. This will ensure a seamless, zero frustration shipping scenario for worldwide backers. Although we do call this out in our Kickstarter under Customs & Taxes, we will add this to our FAQ to reduce confusion.

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.
