Is Perfect Draw! compatible with [D&D, BESM, GURPS, etc]?
We’ve done our best to create a system that uniquely creates Card Game Anime style stories, and this required us to use mechanics that don’t quite work with other systems. In Perfect Draw! the narrative directly impacts the card games by giving you Baggage and other opportunities to attain Advantage. Throughout the course of our development, we’ve spent a lot of time play testing and fine tuning the best experience we could! This is something we wouldn’t have as much power to do if we made the game compatible with other systems.
Certainly, if you’re willing to be a bit of a game designer, there are ways that you could take some of our rules and integrate them with other games. However, we can’t make any promises to the quality of the play experience or if things will balanced.

Why is this game Powered by the Apocalypse?
When we were playtesting the Card Game Combat and Card Creation systems, we realised that the game was already rather complex. Given the overhead of complexity that comes with making unique cards for your deck, we wanted to make sure the core rules where relatively simple. At the same time, we wanted to make sure players where being guided into exciting narrative moments and being forced into messy situations so they care about the upcoming card games. These are things we think the Powered by the Apocalypse framework does really well!
Personally, I would refer to the game as more of a PBTA-Lite style game because while it uses some elements from both modern and early PBTA games, we happily scrapped or completely changed anything that didn’t 100% work for the types of stories we were hoping to create. This is still a game that a PBTA veteran is likely to have a fairly easy time understanding the core rules of, but it is also one that refuses to fit the PBTA mold when it doesn’t suit its needs.

When will I get my book?
As soon as the campaign is over!
Or at least, you’ll gain access to the prototype PDF as soon as soon as we can after the campaign is over and the funds have cleared. The game is already completely text, art, playtesting, and layout complete. All that’s left to do is make edits, refine wording, and make any content that’s been unlocked through stretch goals!
Depending on the success of the campaign, we expect that the prototype will be updated for a month or two before being finalised. At which point, we’ll release the final PDF and you should only be a couple days away from getting the notification that your physical copy of the book is on its way!

I've noticed an error in the book or quick-play kit, what can I do?
With a small team like ours and such a large project, it’s easy for some errors to break through. If you’ve noticed anything, please feel free to direct message me here on BackerKit, make a comment, or send a message in our Discord (https://discord.gg/TCHRNdyKfR).

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.
