Will the book be 2024 5e compatible?
Yes! We will ensure our creatures are balanced for current, up-to-date 5e games. We may include this in the book itself or include a 2024 5e ammendum.

I can't find X creature, where is the stat block?
Fiendish Forge is being created thanks to the System Reference Document (SRD 5.1), which was made publically available by Wizards of the Coast. We will be sure to include when you need to reference this document in the book, as referenced below.

Can I use a crafting or gathering system from a different book?
While we are unable to balance for every 3rd party book out there - we believe you can use materials and magic items within Fiendish Forge to easily homebrew compatibility with other crafting systems!

When will Day 1 rewards be available?
The Day 1 Fiendish Friend Pin will be shipped out with the rest of your physical products to help save on shipping costs. The Day 1 Digital PDF will be available once we’re at a finished (or near finished) state with the book. Our book goes through a lot of development and changes as we get feedback from our backers, so we want to ensure the Day 1 Digital PDF has the same quality.

Will I be able to playtest as a backer?
Yes! Every backer will get a “Fiendish Forge” backer role on our Io Publishing discord server! There we will be releasing creature packets for you to test and give your feedback on, as well as show exclusive previews of what we are developing for the book. The survey will ask for your Discord Handle and include a link if you wish to participate in our playtest. Please note: You must have gotten a Fiendish Forge Digital PDF or Hardcover book to participate in the playtest.

Can I upgrade my existing pledge?
You can switch your existing pledge to another pledge level. Please Note: Downgrading a pledge will not refund what you’ve already pledged to Fiendish Forge - but will give you a credit that you can use for other items.

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.
