Where do you ship from?
We have dedicated shipping points in the USA and UK. EU orders are shipped in an EU-friendly way from our UK warehouse. We are getting quotes from a Canadian shipper to reduce the cost of Canadian orders, and looking for an Oceania shipper to help reduce the cost of orders for our ANZ community.

What’s a Cthulhu?
A monstrous alien titan that seeped down from space millions of years ago, and now slumbers in the tomb-city of R’lyeh until the stars come right and he lives again to ravage and destroy. Even now, his psychic dreams compel people across the world to worship him and work for his return. He’s part of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, a shared story-cycle of cosmic horror.

Who’s H.P. Lovecraft?
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1935) is perhaps the most influential horror writer of the 20th century. Arguing that the old horrors of ghosts, vampires and werewolves were no longer disturbing, Lovecraft looked to scientific revelations about the vast scale of space and time to inspire new horrors.

Wasn’t Lovecraft terribly racist?
Yes, absolutely. Mixed in with his horror of seafood and 18th-century architecture was a fear of anyone who wasn’t an upper-class white New Englander. But TRAIL OF CTHULHU is a 21st century tabletop roleplaying game that welcomes all players. We have adapted Lovecraft’s mythology to emphasize the common doom of all humanity equally.

If you always find all the clues instead of rolling to spot them, won’t GUMSHOE games always be a railroad?
Finding the clues is only the first step in solving a mystery – the investigators must still piece those disparate clues together to work out what’s going on, and then decide how to deal with the threat.

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.
