What is World War Cthulhu?
World War Cthulhu is a line of settings and supplements for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. The first part was World War Cthulhu: The Darkest Hour, a World War Two espionage setting. Over the past year we’ve been hard at work on the wider World War Cthulhu setting, spanning conflicts throughout the whole of the 20th Century (and beyond…), and we’d like your help in making them a reality.

Why use Kickstarter for this project?
As a small company, our resources are very carefully allocated, and we want to be able to produce and support more World War Cthulhu settings quicker than we would otherwise be able to. Last updated: Wed, Jun 24 2015 11:45 am EDT
How well have you delivered your previous Kickstarters?
As a small company, our resources are very carefully allocated, and we want to be able to produce and support more World War Cthulhu settings quicker than we would otherwise be able to. How well have you delivered your previous Kickstarters? World War Cthulhu: Cold War is our third Kickstarter. The first, Cthulhu Britannica: London, is being sent out to backers at the moment, and everyone who has so far seen the finished project has been delighted with it. This project ran late, mainly due to the rookie error of adding too many stretch goals and add ons. We’ve learned from this, and won’t be making the same mistake again! Our second Kickstarter, for The Lone Wolf Adventure Game, is just about to ship too, and the PDFs have gone down very well indeed! In all cases we’ve let people know what was going on, how any delays had occurred and how long they might have added to the process. We understand that communication is very important, and aim to keep you completely up-to-date with progress, especially any set-backs. And now we’ve got even more Kickstarter experience under our belt, so we’re sure that you can back us with confidence. Last updated: Wed, Jun 24 2015 11:46 am EDT
What is the starting size for the core book and the supplements?
The starting sizes for the books are 224 pages for the core (which is hardcover) and 96-128 pages for the supplements (which are initially softcover). We’ll be boosting the page count as stretch goals. Last updated: Wed, Jun 24 2015 12:10 pm EDT
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.
