When will my game ship?
Please see the Schedule and Shipping section under Story on the main project page. There’s a lot more information like estimated shipping costs based on location. But the short answer is that we hope to deliver at the end of May 2024.

How is this different from DragonRaid
Lightraiders is a big change from the original 1980s DragonRaid. We added a few things to the vintage boxed sets that went out to begin building a bridge between the two systems, but the changes are still significant.
Lightraiders is designed for accessibility as a Bible study curriculum for home groups and youth groups. As such, it has defined episodes that use specific verses, fit into a one-hour lesson block, and culminate in a specific Bible study. This means that while players have some freedom of action and different paths to choose, there are limits. It is not a full, freeform RPG.
More is coming! Advanced rules. Freeform adventures. Yes, this is DR2.0. Lightraiders is your foundation and your character will have endless ways to grow from there. Help us get going now, and stick with us for a long and fun adventure.
The game mechanics are significantly streamlined. The boxed set comes with basic rules. When the game ships out, we’ll release additional advanced rules online for those who want more realistic play, more battle options, and the like. For instance, in the advanced rules, dual wielding is a possibility, and dark creatures react differently to various weapon types.

Can homeschoolers use this as a Bible curriculum?
Oh yes. Lightraiders has been designed with homeschoolers and youth groups in mind. The boxed set will serve as one or two semesters of Bible curriculum, depending on how often you play (once or twice a week). The full system with the planned adventures and Adventure Journal expansion sets will fill six semesters when played twice a week.
Every episode fits into a one-hour time slot and employs specific verses. The episode ends with a Know, Grow, Go Bible study that examines those verses in the context of Scripture and asks, “What do we know from these verses? How can we grow from what we’ve learned? And how can apply these verses to be His hands and feet?”

Last Updated At: 04/23/24What 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.
