Is Nightfell Compatible with 5E 2024?
Yes. Since Nightfell is designed for 5E (2014), it can also be used alongside 5E 2024 products, as they share the same core system. However, keep in mind that Nightfell continues to follow the design standards of the 2014 edition, which may lead to some imbalances when mixing classes, feats, or similar features with their 2024 counterparts.
All of Nightfell’s original mechanics, such as Soul Points, Grim Weapons, and other unique rules, remain fully compatible and can be applied seamlessly to 5E 2024.

How much do Nightfell’s original mechanics impact the system? Do they make the game deadlier compared to standard 5E (2014) modules?
Nightfell introduces several unique mechanics (mainly found in the Corebook) that enrich the experience without overturning the core 5E system. Players don’t need to relearn the game or study large amounts of new material since these rules are designed as seamless additions rather than replacements.
They do raise the overall challenge level and reinforce the sense of dread and oppression that defines the setting, immersing players in a survival-horror atmosphere. The mechanics are easy to learn and implement, yet powerful in shaping the grim and perilous tone of the world.

Do I need existing Nightfell books to play The Witches’ Path?
No. The Witches’ Path is fully playable on its own. You can use it as a supplement to expand your existing Nightfell campaigns, or integrate it seamlessly into any 5E game.
The book is designed to bring the dark art of witchcraft into 5E, making it an excellent resource for anyone who wants to explore the theme of witches at the table, even outside the Nightfell setting.
Having other Nightfell books can certainly enrich the experience adding more lore, monsters, and mechanics from the setting, but they are not required to enjoy or run The Witches’ Path.

How is the Special Edition dice set composed?
The Special Edition Dice are a set of two metal-plated d8 lunar dice. In the bag you’ll find a Numbered Die and an Unnumbered one.
Numbered Version: 8 faces featuring the moon phases and corresponding numbers (1 to 8). Unnumbered Version: 8 faces depicting just the moon phases for an even more immersive atmosphere.
This goodie is a deluxe collectible and a useful instrument to track lunar phases while adventuring in Nightfell’s world.

Will the Deluxe Items be reprinted, or are they limited edition?
The Deluxe Items, such as Tome of Witchcraft, Tome of the Moon, and the Special Edition Dice Set, are strictly limited edition and will only be produced once. Once they sell out, they will never be reprinted, making them true collector’s pieces.
If you want to secure these rare items, the crowdfunding campaign is your best chance. For example, the Tome of Shadows from a previous campaign is now completely unavailable and highly sought after. Don’t miss the opportunity to claim these before they’re gone forever.

Can I change the rewards in my pledge level?
Unfortunately not, pledge level rewards cannot be changed. If you wish to add more items, you can do so by means of the add-on.

Under what conditions am I eligible for the Early Bird reward?
You are eligible for the Early Bird bonus only if you secured a pledge with physical items within the first 48 hours of the campaign. This includes:
Pledging at a tier that already contains physical items within the first 48 hours.
Backing with a digital-only pledge (or the €1 “Watcher of the Eclipse” tier) and adding physical items within the first 48 hours.
You are not eligible for the Early Bird reward if:
You add physical items to your pledge after the first 48 hours.
You only pledged for digital content and did not select any physical product within the Early Bird window.
⚠️ Please note: Due to a system error, the Early Bird reward may currently appear as added to some pledges that do not actually qualify (for example, digital-only pledges). This will be corrected later during the pledge manager. As originally announced, the Player’s Journal Early Bird gift is reserved exclusively for backers who included physical products in their pledge within the first 48 hours.

Refunds Policy
After the crowdfunding campaign has ended, refunds will be granted at the discretion of Grim Moon Studio. Please note that a 10%+ fee will be retained from the total pledge value to cover administrative costs and a portion of services already rendered. Grim Moon Studio is a small, independent company, so we reserve the right to evaluate refund requests on a case-by-case basis. This is to protect our business and ensure our ability to deliver the project on time and within budget. Therefore, please carefully consider your decision before requesting a refund. Once the campaign has concluded and funds have been allocated to production, refunds can result in financial losses for our company, as funds may need to be reallocated.

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.
By confirming this survey, you acknowledge that this is a crowdfunding project, not a retail transaction.
Funds collected are directly allocated to production and development.
Orders and pledges are considered final and non-refundable once the survey is submitted, except in exceptional or force majeure cases.
Digital rewards will be delivered via BackerKit, and physical rewards will be fulfilled according to the project’s production timeline.
By completing this survey, you agree to these terms.
