Will changing my pledge now affect my ship date? / Will changing my pledge from a 2020 slot to a 2021 slot change my ship date?
No, we will be tracking people by their backer numbers and thus their original tiers - no matter if you change your pledge now during the campaign or on the backer kit survey later. As long as you do not cancel your pledge, your backer number will be retained even if your new tier says 2021.

How do I pick what dice I want? / When Will I pick what dice I want?
You will pick via backer kit survey after the campaign has ended. Currently all 20 designs are unlocked, you will be able to pick from any of those 20. Duplicates are A-OK.

Why is the ship date so far away? / Is the ship date when you start shipping or end?
I have people who I’ve trained at two resin factories that are hand pouring these dice ahead of time, and am sourcing a third, so we will BEGIN fulfilling in January 2020 (some designs will be fulfilled more quickly than others), but our ability and the speed at which we are able to scale production will depend on how much money we raise, as well as how many dice need to be fulfilled.
If demand is high enough, I would like to establish my own facility, which will be dedicated to this 24/7. I am setting the fulfillment date deadline far away because I would rather beat that goal and deliver early than deliver late and disappoint people.

Can I add more sets of dice or more enamel pins to my pledge?
Yes, you can add more via backer kit once the campaign has ended. You may add more sets of dice (from the unlocked designs) and enamel pins so you aren’t locked into the exact configurations of the menu if you need more granular control. Please understand that this will affect your shipping costs.

Will you have single d20s / d10 sets / d6 sets / other sets for pledging?
No, at this moment we’re not ready to offer different sets and singles. In the future when the store is established we want to look into offering singles and other types of sets, but to keep things manageable we aren’t able to do so for this kickstarter.

Can we get these in different ink colors / Uninked?
We cannot offer different ink colors, but we can offer uninked dice. It will be the same price as inked dice and you can choose whether or not you want inked or uninked dice after the Kickstarter concludes via BackerKit. (Merlot and Black Prismatic Shard will be the only exceptions, they will come inked only)

If we pledge in the first day and change our pledge later will we lose our Day 1 Pledge Rewards?
No, as long as you don’t completely back out of being a backer, your number order will be saved so you can feel free to change pledge tiers. Day 1 Pledge Rewards will not be lost, but you if you downgrade your pledge you will lose bonuses that depend on how much you’ve pledged if you downgrade past their qualifying tiers (applies to both day 1 bonuses and regular bonuses). I.e. You can not pledge for 4 sets and then downgrade to 1 set and expect to keep the reward from the 4-set pledge.

If we pledge a lower amount the first day, and up our pledge later can we qualify for higher bonuses?
Yes, if you raise your pledge you will qualify for the corresponding tier’s bonus rewards. This applies for regular rewards through out the campaign AND Day 1 Pledge rewards if you pledged in the first 24 hours as long as you do NOT cancel your pledge or pull out of backing. We can not track your day 1 status if you cancel your pledge.

Are the bonus rewards only for the exact tier they are unlocked on?
No, the bonus rewards apply to the tier they qualify first for as well as every tier above it EXCEPT for the Feast (20-set) tier in which the d20 is replaced by the full 7-pc set.
Last updated: December 06, 2019 13:05
If we don’t pledge on the first day, is there anyway to later buy the Day 1 pledge rewards?
No, these rewards are exclusive, so please pledge on the first day for the Day 1 pledge rewards.

Will we be able to get multiples of the Day 1 Pledge Rewards D20s?
No, this reward is limited to one per backer.

I looked at the chart but I did not see ____ design that I saw on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook, will that design be in the kickstarter? Can I buy that?
As much as I would absolutely LOVE to offer every single dice I’ve experimented with on social media in this Kickstarter, it would stretch my resources irresponsibly, as every technique requires intensive research and quality control.
If we can expand enough from this campaign, I hope to be able to offer more of those experimental designs to you. I am so deeply touched that you like those sets enough to remember and ask for them, so I hope to expand into more designs in the future. Thank you again for your support!

Resin!

How big are these dice? What size are these dice?
The dice are a little larger than standard/common dice but not much larger. Here are the exact measurements (diameter unless noted): D20 -21mm D12 -19mm D10/D% - 28mm (from tip to tip vertical) D8 - 28mm (from tip to tip) D6 - 16mm d4 20mm

Are these dice balanced?
They are balanced enough for casual game play. The inclusions for these sets of dice are lightweight and do not change the overall balance of the die significantly. However if you require precision casino level dice for high stakes playing, these will not fit the bill. For everyone else, they will roll fine.

Why are the Dice $48 / set? I thought these were mass manufactured in factories and all mass manufactured dice I’ve seen are way cheaper! Only handmade / metal / gemstone dice are that expensive!
Dispel Dice designs can only be hand made due to the sharp edges and inclusions that are integral to the designs. They are not automated or machine produced. I have sourced facilities where I will personally be training teams of people who can pour, paint and polish our unique dice by hand. As such, the dice are priced in such a way to allow me to utilize these economies of scale, while accounting for the fact that each set will be hand polished, finished and painted by a person.
The way we make these dice is extremely labor intensive, and nothing at all like how most companies make dice. It requires a lot of judicious quality control to make sure that we are able to maintain those crisp, sharp edges and beautiful inclusions.
After the Kickstarter, the price of a set will be raised to $60 / set. The debut price of $48 / set is to thank everyone who is willing to take the plunge with me and help accelerate Dispel Dice’s growth. Again, we thank you for your understanding and support.

Will there be any kind of limitations for how many dice or pledges you will take?
No. :D

Will you ship to my country?
We will be providing a shipping chart for people to reference, but these will be estimates to general zones. We will charge exact shipping costs after the Kickstarter concludes via BackerKit.

Do shipping costs include VATs, duties, import taxes, tariffs or customs fees?
No. Our shipping costs do not include any of the above fees. All of these vary based on your country’s individual rates and it is your responsibility to know them ahead of time. Please understand that we have absolutely no control over these fees.

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.
