Are you actually Irish?
Yes! Emmet, our founder and the lead designer of Beyond the Woods, was born, raised, and currently lives in Ireland, and Old Oak Games is an Irish registered company. We work with writers, artists, and creatives from all over the world, but at its heart, Old Oak Games is Irish.

What is a Hexcrawl/West Marches game?
Hexcrawl or West Marches style games are a more old-school or classic form of tabletop RPG. Rather than the GM/DM`/Narrator driving the story, the players are the ones who choose where the adventure takes them. Games are usually played on a map with hexes (hence hexcrawl), with players starting in a relatively safe town or city and venturing out into the unknown to investigate rumours or seek out treasure. They tend to focus on exploration, discovery, and survival rather than combat.

Are you changing the Legend in the Mist rules?
Beyond the Woods expands the options for Legend in the Mist with new Theme Kits, Ways of Magic, and Challenges, and also introduces new rules for hexcrawl and West Marches style campaigns and journeys. However, Beyond the Woods doesn’t change the core rules of Legend in the Mist and it is designed to work in harmony with all the existing content.

What happens when the Kickstarter ends?
When the Kickstarter ends you will receive a receipt for your chosen Kickstarter pledge. Please check this to ensure your pledge has been collected successfully as we will not be able to fulfill failed customer pledges. A short time after the campaign ends you will receive an invite to the Backerkit Pledge Manager, which you can use to manage your pledge, add your address, and add additional items before confirming your pledge and paying for shipping.

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.
