Do I need to know anything about tarot to play Divination?
Not at all! Everything you need to know about tarot for the game is built into the rules, and there is a lot of tarot symbolism that you’ll pick up intuitively simply by playing.
Think of the many RPGs that come with a large volume—or multiple volumes—of lore and worldbuilding and history more. You can choose how deeply to immerse yourself in that lore and be just as satisfied (albeit in different ways) at any level. The tarot element of Divination is the same. Learning the basics will be no different than learning the rules and mechanics of any unfamiliar system, and the deeper layers of tarot are there for you to explore as much or as little as you like beyond that.
This tiered approach is not just for players; Diviners, too, may customize their experience and learn only as much tarot as they are interested in learning in order to read the cards in the way that is most comfortable. The Guidebook contains a crash course on tarot that explains this in full detail.

How does the “shared Hero” thing work? Don’t I get to play my own character?
You absolutely get to play your own character—a fully formed, fully independent, fully realized individual, and probably one of the more unique ones you’ve ever played! You are wholly yourself, and you are wholly the Hero. And the same is true of your three fellow Aspects.
What makes Divination so unique and fascinating is the ebb and flow between the internal and the external. Aspects trade off controlling the Hero in the world, and the player in control at any given time is roleplaying the Hero, making decisions, interacting with NPCs and the environment.
But at any time, another Aspect could use a Power to interfere or to wrest control, or the focus of play could shift inside the mind to conversations between the Aspects. In real life these internal dialogues typically play out faster than we consciously realize, but in Divination you give literal voice to the Hero’s inner conflicts, competing desires, self-sabotage, and everything else that dictates their actions in the world.

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.
