How much will shipping cost?
Shipping costs will be calculated during fulfilment and vary based on your chosen rewards, their combined weight, and your location.
To help you plan for this, we have provided some estimated shipping costs for various rewards on the main page. Note that these may yet change between the time of the campaign and fulfilment.

Why no minis?
Hollows is a game about defeating big monsters in really spectacular boss fights. It’s a natural fit for minis, no?
Well… yes and no. Every monster Hunters fight looks unique, because it’s the product of one person’s rotten inner world. There’s no such thing as a standard Entity. Likewise, with hundreds of Weapon combinations it’s hard to make minis that reflect every possible Hunter. So while minis can add a lot to a game of Hollows, we strongly recommend using the ones you already have on your shelves.
Plus, the component kit includes an Entity token and several player pieces you can use to represent anything and anyone in a fight.

What's in the component kit?
The Hollows component kit is big.
It includes: 1 tactical grid (screen printed on cotton) 6 d20s (enough for a whole group of players) 6 resin player pieces, styled to resemble wooden chess knights (with a little Hollows flair) 8 wooden Curse counters 6 wooden Capacity tokens, shaped like bullets 7 wooden Terrain tokens (double sided; sheltered terrain on one side, elevated on the other) 2 wooden Briar tokens for Staff users 30 acrylic Threat tokens 2 wooden Shotgun tokens 2 wooden Armour tokens 10 wooden Focus tokens 1 wooden Entity and Bleed token (two-part, fit together) 1 wooden Doom token 8 “assist” cards, with key reference information 60 wooden Resolve tokens 60 wooden Wound tokens
What do they all do? That’s answered in detail in our gameplay video on the campaign page, but the short answer is that these tokens give you everything you need for the smoothest possible Hollows experience.
As much as we love the component kit, it’s not essential. You can use whatever materials you have on hand as long as everyone’s clear on what they represent, and we’ll have print and play versions available (for free) as well.

How many players will Hollows work for?
Hollows is designed for roughly 4 Hunters and a GM. We include rules for scaling Entity strength up or down for a larger or smaller group.
As well as increasing or reducing Entity Wounds and Resolve (both elements of their overall ability to withstand damage), the scaling rules let the GM add extra abilities, making the Entity significantly more dangerous.

How do I get the challenge coin?
The challenge coin (our magnificent Entity token, in metal) comes in the Conclave and Grand Malignancy pledges, or you can buy it as an add-on.

When will I receive my books?
Production’s going to take a while on this project: we’ve got a lot of books to make, and a lot of accessories to perfect. We’re scheduled to ship everything out by the end of June 2025. We’ll update you if that changes.

Can I buy individual scenario softcovers?
Sadly, no. We’re only creating them for the boxed set. On the other hand, the boxed set is pretty great value.

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.
