Why a suite?
There are many tasks associated with running a roleplaying session, and we believe piling them on top of one another leads to an unpleasant workflow. We want to make a Suite of interconnected tools for that reason.

How are Tome and Lore compatible?
A lot of things you write about in Tome can also benefit from a counterpart in Lore. By setting up your Tome story as happening within a Lore world, you’ll be able to refer to a Lore detail within your story, and link a Tome page with its Lore counterpart.
Tome is made to allow you to focus on the story, whilst keeping the detail-rich Lore data just a click away.

Are Tome and Lore beginner-friendly?
Tome and Lore are both feature-rich, and we understand some things can look pretty advanced for beginners. However, we designed our tools to have a smooth learning curve: you can start with the basics, and learn how to use other tools as you go.
Your story and world can be amazing even without some of the fancier tools - those will be there if you need them later. When you do, rest assured: we worked tirelessly to make them as intuitive as possible!

Why isn't this a subscription-based service?
Our goal is to allow you to have access to our software without having to pay a fee every month. Owning your file on your computer also makes it accessible even when the internet is down, and guarantees everything you write will remain as confidential as everything else on your disk.
There are some upsides to having your files online, though, and we’re aware of them. Working together on the same project, sharing your work and accessing your files from any device is awesome, and we might create solutions for this in the future.

Can I use the Amsel Suite along with other roleplaying software?
Of course! The Amsel Suite is made to help you in your roleplaying adventures, and can be used alongside any VTT of your choosing, import any images you made, etc.

Will there be AI-based tools in your software?

Won't this software end up railroading my games?
Our tools are made with non-linearity and the need for going off the beaten path firmly in mind! When we worked on our features, we had many styles of play in mind, from highly scripted stories to low-preparation, high improvisation games, and everything in between.

Is the Amsel Suite compatible with my game system?
Our Software will be fully system-agnostic, and work with every rulebook, including your own!

What do the themes and icons do?
The themes and icons are in no way necessary to unlock features, they are purely aesthetic assets. The icons can be practical in that you can use them to designate certain things for yourself, but the feature list remains the same at all pledge levels.

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.
