We Want Your Feedback!

Hey Everyone!
We’ve already heard some excellent feedback from our Discord community, and now we’re excited to open the door to everyone! Below you'll find the link to our feedback form for the first pass of test materials dropped in the previous update. We'd love to hear what you think!
👉 Submit Feedback Here
If you’ve downloaded the playtest materials from BackerKit but haven’t had the chance to dive in yet, now’s the time. Your insights on mechanics, layout, tone, or anything else are invaluable as we head into the next phase.
Playtest Modules Releasing Soon
Next week, we’ll be releasing early access playtest versions of Rhythm of Rebellion and Wintertide Lockdown to all backers receiving the modules. These will be downloadable from your BackerKit account when they go live (you'll receive an email then).
We won’t be collecting feedback on these just yet - this is simply the first look at the adventures in action. Take your time, run them with your group, and have fun. We’ll follow up later with a dedicated form to gather your thoughts.
Layout and Design Updates
Our layout artist is deep in the pixel mines this month working on Camp Spellbrook and Curse of Garnet Lake. These spooky, summer-camp inspired adventures are shaping up beautifully and will follow the same high standard of visual polish you’ve seen in our previous work. We are also finalizing the layouts for all monsters - which is by far the most complex layout in the book. We hope to be getting that in all of your hands as soon as possible. (Here's a very early preview!)
Meanwhile, final art and text revisions are underway for Caretaker’s Descent, which will round out the adventure modules of 80s Adventures with a tense, atmospheric crawl into madness and memory. More previews coming soon!
A Note on Tariffs
We’ve had a few backers ask about how upcoming tariffs might affect this project. The short answer is: yes, they will affect us - but we’re absorbing the cost. Our goal is to keep our promises without charging more or compromising on quality.
That said, if you’d like to support us beyond this campaign, we’d love it if you visited our main site and picked up something cool.
Thanks again!

Big Announcement! Choose Your Edition: 5.14 or 5.24
over 1 year ago
– Tue, Nov 19, 2024 at 11:30:44 AM
We’ve got exciting news to share, directly inspired by your excellent and detailed feedback so far. We’re making 80s Adventures available in two editions - one formatted for the 2014 version of the 5e rules (5.14) and another for the updated 2024 version (5.24). This means you get to choose the edition that’s perfect for your game!
We know every adventurer’s table is unique, so instead of forcing everyone into one edition or making a hybrid book of both rulesets, we’re letting you decide which version best fits your game. This way, you get the exact format you need to make your next adventure unforgettable.
This decision wasn’t made lightly. Producing two versions of the book will be an undertaking, requiring an additional pass through the entire text to ensure each edition is polished and fully compatible with the rules you play by. However, we believe this extra effort is worth it to deliver the best possible product for you.
Here’s How to Pick Your Edition:
We’re sending out emails with links to update your survey in BackerKit. If you’ve already completed your survey, simply follow the link in the email to choose your preferred edition. Alternatively, you can head back to BackerKit using your original survey link and update it there. If you haven’t filled out your survey yet, now’s the time!
Your selection will allow us to properly plan and deliver the books to match your expectations. We’re committed to ensuring your 80s Adventures experience is everything you’ve hoped for - and more.
This is also a perfect opportunity to snag additional add-ons, like our Synthwave Sunset Neon Dice or Retro Campaign Posters. Every add-on you pick up directly supports the additional work we’re putting into this project and helps ensure we can continue creating awesome content for your table.
More Playtest Materials Coming Soon!
We've just finished up some internal testing, which means more playtest materials will be on the way soon! Keep an eye on your inbox because you’ll soon receive subclasses and two full modules to dive into.
For now, all playtest materials will be formatted for the 2014 version. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts and see your stories come to life with these new materials. Your feedback is vital to making 80s Adventures the best it can be - and we'll follow up when the material gets released with surveys! Also the layout and art is looking amazing and we are so excited for you to see them!!
We’re truly grateful for your support and trust in us to make 80s Adventures a reality. Together, we’re going to create something incredible.
Thank you for being part of this adventure!
