What are the benefits of backing now versus buying Pathfinder Quest later?
Both editions—Standard and Deluxe—are available at a discount through the BackerKit campaign. MSRP will be higher when Pathfinder Quest releases in stores.
Also, Pathfinder Quest Deluxe Edition, as well as many of our add-ons, are campaign-exclusive, meaning they can only be guaranteed for purchase through this campaign. While limited stock may be available on paizo.com after the game has shipped, Pathfinder Quest Deluxe Edition will not be distributed to big box stores, Amazon, or game stores that did not participate in the campaign.

How will tariffs affect this project?
We’re keeping a close eye on tariff changes and are prepared to absorb part of the cost if rates shift unexpectedly to minimize the impact on our backers. Our priority is keeping things simple and stress-free for you. Whether that means sharing the burden, adjusting shipping schedules, or some combination of the two, we’ll handle the details to protect your experience the best way we can and keep you informed along the way.

How will international shipping be handled?
While all shipping costs displayed are estimates, Paizo is working closely with our international fulfillment partners to make sure your games arrive smoothly and at the best possible value, no matter where you live. Shipping, VAT, and other applicable fees will be collected via BackerKit after the campaign once the games are ready to ship.

When will Pathfinder Quest ship to backers?
We are targeting a fulfillment date of Spring 2026 for Pathfinder Quest.
The game is finished and files are at the printer—we will be using this crowdfunding campaign to set the print run and order our add-ons from partners, and then everything will be put into production as soon as the campaign ends.

Why are you crowdfunding Pathfinder Quest?
We’re excited to try something new, and we want to bring our community along for the journey!
This project marks a bold step beyond our usual RPG books and accessories, so we’re turning to crowdfunding to make sure we produce the correct number of copies, include our community, and keep Pathfinder Quest as affordable as possible for both Paizo and our fans.

How does Crown of the Kobold King tie into Pathfinder Quest?
Pathfinder Quest is set in Darkmoon Vale, the setting of the first published Pathfinder adventure! That adventure—Hollow’s Last Hope—alongside two other adventures set in Darkmoon Vale were updated to Pathfinder Second Edition for Paizo’s 20th anniversary.
If you want to learn more about the history of Darkmoon Vale and Falcon’s Hollow or play Pathfinder adventures that tie into the area, Crown of the Kobold is a great addition to your pledge!

What is the My Mini Factory campaign for?
We are running a concurrent campaign with our partners at Titan Forge and My Mini Factory for STLs of all of the heroes and creatures in Pathfinder Quest. If you, a friend, or a nearby library has a 3D printer, you can use the STLs from that campaign as miniatures for Pathfinder Quest or any tabletop roleplaying game.
The miniatures included in the Miniature Menagerie tier and the Titan Forge Miniature Add-Ons (Hero Pack, Time Dragon (Alternate Sculpt), Early Adventure Creatures, and Late Adventure Creatures) are high-resolution resin prints of these STLs, exclusively printed and bundled for our campaign.

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.
