FAQ: Xcrawl Classics TTRPG Core Rulebook
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

Is XCC a complete game?

Yes! The Xcrawl Classics core rulebook is a stand-alone game. No other books are needed to play (though some dice, a pencil, and paper will definitely help!).

I’ve played Dungeons & Dragons before. Will it be easy to learn XCC?

Yes! XCC is based on the same core mechanics as D&D 5E: roll high on a D20, add attack bonuses to beat the opponent’s armor class, roll your damage die, make your saving throws, and so on. Of course, Xcrawl introduces new rules to capture Fame and Mojo, and also enhances the base play experience with many new innovations like spell checks, mighty deeds, and more.

What is Xcrawl Insider?

Xcrawl Insider is the magazine of Xcrawl! The first issue will ship a couple months after the main project is fulfilled. Xcrawl Insider allows the community to share their experiences and keep the fun alive, long after the basic project has been fulfilled.

Which pledge items are exclusive to this project and won’t be offered through distribution?

All the adventure modules in this project include foil printing on the covers. This edition is only offered through Kickstarter. In addition, several items in this project won’t be offered through distribution, due to various limiting factors. Retailers who wish to carry them should purchase them with the retailer pledge level. These special items include the mojo tokens, Xcrawl Insider, and the T-shirt.

How will the stretch goals be included?

Depending on how many stretch goals are cleared, they will either be integrated into the core rulebook or packaged together in a separate booklet.

Is shipping included in the pledge cost?

Shipping is, for the most part, not included. Xcrawl Insider includes a $5 base charge for shipping on each issue. All other shipping costs will be assessed at time of fulfillment.

What is the estimated shipping charge for the US?

Shipping charge for JUST THE XCC RULEBOOK will be approximately $12-13 in the USA. If you also have add-on items, that will increase the weight.

What are estimated shipping charges for international destinations?

Our plan is to ship EU/UK destinations from a UK origin point, AUS/NZ from an AUS origin point, and CAN from a Canada origin point, which will lower the final shipping cost. Details of this are still being finalized. As a worst-case scenario, international postage for JUST THE XCC RULEBOOK with a US origin point (which is unlikely) is estimated at approximately $30 for CAN/EU/UK, and approximately $45-55 for most other countries. That total does not include VAT or customs fees. As mentioned, this estimate is based on a US origin point, and we plan to actually ship from local points of origin.

Will I have to pay VAT or customs fees?

Our plan is to ship EU/UK destinations from a UK origin point, AUS/NZ from an AUS origin point, and CAN from a Canada origin point. VAT and customs fees will be based on your country’s negotiations with those origin points. We will accurately represent the nature of the commercial goods included in the package.

I’m new to DCC, tell me more about it!

Xcrawl Classics is based on the DCC rules engine. DCC RPG is a fun, fast-paced role playing game that’s easy to learn. You can download Quick Start Rules for free on the Goodman Games online store. Our online store also offers a First Time Fan Kit which is an affordable, easy way to get started with the game.

Can I pledge at the $1 level and get stretch goals and/or add-ons in the pledge manager stage?

If you pledge at the $1 level, you will be able to adjust your pledge later in the pledge manager stage. However, we can’t guarantee you will be able to get all add-ons or Kickstarter exclusives at that stage. We determine the print run based on the number of pledges at completion of the Kickstarter. There MIGHT be additional copies available if backers drop out or the printers overprint. If that happens we will offer those copies to the $1 backers. You will definitely be able to add the distribution edition in the pledge manager stage.

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.
