FAQ: Ultramodern5, A 5E Universal Sci-Fi Sourcebook + Campaigns & Adventures
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Backerkit Crowdfunding!

Why not include the entire 5E system within UM5; why must we own the 5E PHB?

As the core UM5 book is over 380 pages, adding in the entire 5E SRD would make the final book expensive and unwieldy. As 5E SRD rules can be acquired for free, we are not asking you to spend more money.

What's the difference between the UM5 REDUX campaign in 2018 and this one?

Content-wise, nothing. One stretch goal will involve rebuilding of the core book in an effort to reduce file size, and we may update it to the errata if that’s the case.

Can I purchase just one adventure or is it all of them?

Yes, if you back for the Pledge Manager, you will gain access to purchase separate adventures. They are also available as add-ons (though it is more economical to get them all as a package.

Can I UPGRADE my pledge?

Why is VAT charged for EU and UK physical orders?

This is unavoidable thanks to revised rules to VAT that closed loopholes everyone was previously using.

Certain rewards are not available for add-ons; is this intentional?

Certain rewards, especially with Virtual Tabletops, are only available with specific packages and pledges.

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.
