What does the opening Orcish blurb say?

Wouldn’t you rather translate it yourself?

Where can I find the Orcish Word of the Day?

For the last couple weeks, I’ve been releasing one Orcish word per day via Twitter (@mattvancil) and Instagram (/mattvancil) under the hashtag #Orcish. Some of them have cute little doodles. Some of them have not-so-cute doodles. All of them will be in the dictionary.

Is there anything I *shouldn’t* name a word after?

A lot of people have named a lot of words after the same few folks, and I’m running out of ways to twist their names into new vocabulary. You might want to think twice before naming something after J.R.R. Tolkien, Gary Gygax, William Shatner, or James T. Kirk. Also after a David or Jennifer—those names have been pretty much played out. But hey, it’s your word—I’ll do what I can to make what you want work.

Also: don’t be a jerk. Don’t use this as an opportunity to slam a person or group you don’t like. If it comes to it, I will veto anything I deem inappropriate.

I don't have a dictionary yet, dumbass.

Right, good point. Here’s what it says:

“Many bards have found themselves at the end of a spear, unable to communicate with the orcs snarling at them. Don’t let this happen to you! Pick up a copy of the Orcish Dictionary today!”

Will the cover feature new artwork, or use the same matte brown as the first edition?

The graphics featured in this campaign are taken from the cover artwork for the new edition. The new cover will have wraparound artwork with Wren and Rilk on the front and Grellnock and Yart on the back.

BackerKit FAQ

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.
