Latest Updates from Our Project:
80s Adventures Has Left the Printer!

Hi adventurers!
We have big news update to share! The printing for 80s Adventures is complete, including the core books, modules, deluxe materials, posters, and art pieces. The full shipment is now packed and on its way to us.
The Shipment Is On the Water
At this point, we are just waiting for the shipment to arrive so fulfillment can begin here at Dice Dungeons.
Sea freight can unfortunately be a bit of a waiting game, especially once customs processing is involved, but based on the current timeline we expect orders to begin shipping within the next 60 days, hopefully sooner if customs moves smoothly.
As we continue to see progress on the shipment and get closer to fulfillment, we will eventually lock orders for shipping from our facility. Before that happens, everyone will receive a 48 hour warning email from BackerKit letting you know your order is about to lock.
If you already know you need to update your address, now is a good time to do so through your BackerKit account. You can either log directly into BackerKit or use your original survey link to make any needed changes before orders are finalized for fulfillment.
We are incredibly excited to finally get these books into your hands!!
Final 48 Hours for Roadside Encounters
We also wanted to mention that our current Kickstarter campaign, Roadside Encounters, is entering its final 48 hours.
Roadside Encounters is a system-agnostic travel encounter card series built to help GMs create memorable journeys, roadside events, and quick adventure hooks during overland travel. If you’ve enjoyed Quest Decks or our previous projects, we’d love your support on this one as we head into the final stretch!
Thank you again for sticking with us through this journey. We truly appreciate everyone who has continued to support us along the way.

80s Adventures Books Are Printed!
about 1 month ago
– Tue, Apr 28, 2026 at 07:50:20 AM
Hey adventurers,
We have a big production news for you!! All of the books are now printed, including both the 2014 5e version and the 2024 5.5e version. The adventure modules have also been printed.
This is a major milestone for the project. After a long stretch of approved files sitting in the printer’s queue, we’ve finally reached the point where the core printed items are physically produced and just waiting to ship.
There are a few remaining print items (the deluxe boxes, posters, and art pieces). Those are currently expected to finish in about 15 days. Once those final pieces are complete, the full shipment will be prepared for freight and loaded onto a ship headed to us.
The Final Stretch
With pallets of finished books, it is incredibly exciting to see 80s Adventures as a real, printed thing after all the writing, editing, art, layout, proofing, and production work that went into it.
The next major update will be when the remaining printed items are finished and the shipment is on its way. Thank you again for your patience and support. We are thrilled to be this close, and we can’t wait to finally get 80s Adventures into your hands.

Lapel Pins Are In, Waiting on Print Production
3 months ago
– Thu, Mar 19, 2026 at 12:11:20 PM
Hey adventurers,
This will be a quick check-in update on where things stand with 80s Adventures.
Books Still in the Print Queue
There has not been a change yet in the production status of the books themselves. The files remain approved, locked, and sitting in the printer’s production queue. At this stage we are simply waiting for the project to move through their schedule and begin the full production run.
Once printing begins there will be two major milestones we will report on:
Confirmation that the books have entered active production
Freight departure once the finished books leave the printer
From there the books will ship to us via sea freight before fulfillment begins here at Dice Dungeons.
Lapel Pins Have Arrived
On the physical rewards side... the lapel pins for the campaign have arrived! These came in from the manufacturer recently and are now here with us. They look fantastic in person and we’ve already started staging them with the other fulfillment materials so everything is ready once the books land.
Where Things Stand
At this point everything on our side is prepared and waiting for the printer to begin the production run. As soon as we receive confirmation that printing has started or we have freight dates assigned, we will share that information immediately.
We know the waiting stage between final files and manufacturing can feel slow, but we are firmly in the last stretch of the process now. Thanks again for the patience and support. We’re looking forward to getting 80s Adventures out into the world.

Test Prints Approved and We’re in the Print Queue
4 months ago
– Thu, Feb 05, 2026 at 11:37:26 AM
Hey adventurers,
We’ve reached a major production milestone and wanted to share a snapshot of where 80s Adventures stands as we move into the final stages.
Test Prints Approved
Our test print copies have arrived, been reviewed in hand, and officially approved. We carefully checked color accuracy, paper stock, binding, trim, and layout consistency across the books and modules. Everything came back exactly where it needed to be, so no changes were required. With that approval complete, the files are now locked and cleared for full production.
Both Softcover and Hardcover are amazing to hold, with the high quality stock and binding.
Subclasses are extra fun to see on the page!
Guide to Neon Dragons
We've also just released the PDF for the Guide to Neon Dragons. If you are receiving the softcover booklet you can now find the PDF version in your digital download on Backerkit!
Print Queue Status
We are officially in the printer’s production queue. Our printing partner is currently shut down for their scheduled holiday break. Our project is already queued and ready to move forward as soon as they return and resume operations.
Freight and Shipping Considerations
Once printing is complete, the books and modules will be shipped to us via sea freight. Due to the weight and volume of printed goods, this is the only practical option at this scale. Sea freight is reliable, but timing can be volatile depending on port congestion and scheduling, so we are building that variability into our timeline rather than assuming best-case transit windows.
Fulfillment Timeline
Based on our current position in the print queue and accounting for freight transit, we expect the first shipments of physical items, including the books, modules, lapel pins, and other physical rewards, to begin arriving to us in March. Fulfillment will begin as soon as items start landing.
All fulfillment for this project is being handled in house by our team. With freight variability accounted for, our current expectation is to have all backer orders packed and shipped between April and May of 2026.
Getting test prints approved is one of the most important milestones in the entire process, and it means we are firmly past the point of revision. From here, it’s manufacturing, freight, and fulfillment. We’ll continue to share updates as we receive production and shipping dates.
Thanks, as always, for your patience and support. We’re very close now, and we can’t wait to get this project into your hands.

Hey adventurers,
We’re back with another major update, and this one delivers on several of the biggest pieces of the project. The digital rewards are now moving into their final phase, printing prep is underway, and we’re ready to share some solid progress across the board.
The 2024 Digital Edition Is Now Available
The fully updated 2024 Rules Edition of the 80s Adventures book is now live in BackerKit for all eligible backers.
This version includes:
All revised layout updates
All edits and corrections gathered from community feedback
The final polished rules version designed for your table

And alongside it…
The VTT Token Pack Is Live
The full VTT Token Pack is now available in your BackerKit digital library. This pack contains every creature, NPC, and icon needed to bring the adventure modules into your favorite virtual tabletop.
With this release, both versions of the core book, all five adventure modules, and the VTT Token Pack are now fully available digitally.
Soundtrack Released
We’re also releasing the official 80s Adventures Soundtrack today in BackerKit.

Whether you want ambient tension for a stealth op or full synth-wave heroics for the big showdown, the full soundtrack is now ready for download.
If you’ve been waiting to bring that classic 80s atmosphere to your table, it’s all available in your digital rewards library right now.
Printing Update
We have officially chosen our printing partner and are finalizing the last layout adjustments needed to prepare for production. We’ve moved the project firmly into the printing and production stage. Currently our printer is producing the sample prints, once we confirm it is correct we will get in queue for the production run. Once we have a firm date for printing, we will give a more accurate time frame for delivery of physical pledges.
Fulfillment Timeline
Our current plan is Q1 2026 fulfillment. We will have a more exact date as soon as our printer gives us the exact timeline for the production run.
Holiday schedules can slow communication slightly, but we don’t expect major setbacks at this time. As soon as we have a confirmed place in the print queue, we’ll share it immediately.
Accessory Production
All accessories tied to pledge tiers (including dice sets, fanny packs, and other physical add-ons) are complete! Dice, pins, and more are en-route to our shop and will be ready to ship as soon as the books arrive!
Thank you for sticking with us through the production phase. The digital content is now complete, printing prep is moving ahead, and we’re eager to show the first test print samples as soon as they’re ready.
