Does purchasing a physical item add-on include the digital version (PDF)?
Pledge tiers are designed to allow you to get both the physical and digital versions at the same time. However, physical item add-ons do not include the digital version. The PDF must be added separately.

What edition of 5e is this book designed for?
P.T. LaMarck’s Cryptid Codex is built using the 2024 rules update for Dungeons & Dragons 5e. The system remains fully backward compatible, so all monsters, items, and mechanics in the Codex work perfectly with the 2014 edition as well.

What’s included in each pledge tier?
You can see everything that comes with your pledge by visiting the Campaign tab at the top of the Kickstarter page. Each reward tier includes clear images and an itemized list of what’s inside.
Be sure to also check out the Stretch Goals section! As new goals unlock during the campaign, we’ll note which tiers receive those upgrades or added bonuses. This is the best place to track exactly what’s been added to your pledge as the project grows.

Will you use a pledge manager after the campaign ends?
Yes, for this project we’ve partnered with Backerkit pledge manager to handle shipping details, add-ons, and late pledges. This will go live a few weeks after the campaign closes.
Digital downloads will also be distributed through Backerkit.

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.
