FAQ: Disposable Bags of Meat: a TTRPG about surviving through sheer spite
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Backerkit Crowdfunding!

What is the difference between The Beast and The Mimic?

The Beast pledge gives you a print-on-demand coupon for a softback edition of Disposable Bags of Meat, fulfilled through Drivethru RPG. Actually buying the book will incur an extra charge from DTRPG for the book and shipping costs.

If you’re in a country we can ship to, we strongly suggest going for The Mimic, which gets you a hardback edition of the book.

Where Can You Ship To?

We’ll ship to most places globally.

We will not ship to active conflict zones (it’s really hard to get post into them). We cannot ship into the EU due to GPSR regulations. We don’t expect that to change by the time we send out Meatbags rewards.

How Will You Handle Shipping?

We’ll charge shipping once we’re ready to send out rewards. This both allows us to work out the most affordable option, based on the number of books we’re moving, and make sure we’re working with the latest information on shipping costs and import fees.

We currently expect The Colossus (the heaviest, and therefore most expensive pledge) to cost about £7 to ship to UK addresses, and £20 to the USA or Canada.

The more orders we get, the more likely it is that we can arrange a fulfilment partner in the US, which will help with all worldwide prices.

I'm in the USA, should I be worrying about tariffs?

At this point, no. Except for the dice, all our products are made in the UK or EU and books should be tariff exempt. We’re just going to cover the cost of tariffs on the dice.

How Do I Get the Free Quickstart and Character Sheets?

The PDF versions of the quickstart and character sheets are free. They’re included with every pledge level from Phantom on upwards. If they’re not in your pledge, you can add them in the pre-order store.

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.
