How do stretch goals work? Are they free additions or do they have to be purchased?
Any non-physical stretch goals, such as unlocked gangs, new scenarios, and rules for companion models are free, and will be added to the rulebook as a result of becoming unlocked.
Physical stretch goals, such as unlocked models, will able to be purchased, either individually, or in gang boxes, as add-ons after the main campaign ends.
Some social rewards, such as the cookbook and the anthology fiction book, will be given out to all backers as free PDFs.

Will there be a Kickstarter exclusive model?
Yes! The Croyote griff companion will be a Kickstarter exclusive and once we’ve sent them out, there will be no more!

Is there a rules document I can read?
Lots of you have been asking about some rules for Gangs of the Undercity you could check out, and we’ve got them for you. A few caveats, first.
1) We want feedback! our 60+ playtesters have been looking at the game for months and so their eyes have adjusted to all the smaller formatting, layout, and grammar issues that may be present. But yours haven’t! If you see something that could be changed for the better, let us know! We want to get every bit of feedback in and have the best possible book when it goes live, so message us here on Kickstarter, or if it is longer, email us at [email protected]!
2) This is not the final version. That should be clear from the first point above, but keep in mind, this particular document is laid out by a volunteer (while our main layout artist is working on other things, etc.), so be generous for this beta version. There are things missing from this document, like companion models, gang creation, narrative mode, and most scenarios. We are trying to keep things as tight as possible in this beta release so we can help folks get a taste, not overwhelm them.
3) One of our design goals was to make this game accessible, both to those who haven’t played wargames before (we’re trying to rope in our RPG buddies!) and to those who’ve been playing a while (but might not want to learn a completely new and complicated ruleset). So we have relied, on purpose, on many standard wargame mechanics. But we also have innovated in places and worked to eliminate as much bookkeeping (during gameplay) as possible. So if something feels familiar, good! If something strikes you as fun and innovative, good! That’s the balance we’re after.
4) Enjoy!

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.
