Does Magpie Games support the efforts of Kickstarter United?
Yes! We fully support the union and are following their lead on how best to aid them. They have not called for a boycott, but we are excited to assist them as they continue their efforts to make Kickstarter a stronger, better platform.

Will I have to be familiar with the Root board game to play the Root RPG?
Nope! While board gamers might already be familiar with the factions at war within the game, no experience is needed to get started telling your own stories of adventure within the Woodland. You can find a base version of the rules with the quickstart here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/288366/Root-The-Tabletop-Roleplaying-Game-Quickstart

Is there any difference in content between the standard and deluxe editions?
No, the standard and deluxe editions are identical in terms of interior content. The deluxe edition contains limited edition covers, silk bookmarks, and a slipcase, but all of the content is in both books!

Will the game be available in languages other than English?
We’ll be looking into translations after the Kickstarter campaign is over. Many of our games are available in additional languages, so it’s something we have experience with. Stay tuned for updates!

How much will shipping be?
We’ll be charging shipping through Kickstarter; your pledge includes the cost of shipping directly. After the Kickstarter is over, we will use the Backerkit pledge manager to collect address information and handle add-ons and pre-orders.

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.
