Big Announcement! Choose Your Edition: 5.14 or 5.24

– 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!

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update for you this afternoon! We're excited to let you know that the BackerKit pledge manager is now live, and we've sent out surveys to all backers this morning! Please use the survey to select your rewards, confirm your shipping address, and finalize any add-ons for '80s Adventures. If you haven’t received the survey email yet, be sure to check the email account associated with your Kickstarter profile, and look in your spam or promotional folders. If you still can't locate it, you can use this recovery link to access your BackerKit survey:
You’ll have 30 days to complete your survey, so make sure to respond within that window. After that, we’ll lock orders to begin processing and manufacturing your rewards.
Quick Reminder: We do not monitor Kickstarter comments or direct messages on Kickstarter for support. If you need assistance, the best way to reach us is by emailing [email protected].
Thank you again for your incredible support, and we’ll keep you updated as we move toward the next stages!
Happy Adventuring!

Surveys Coming Soon & Preorder Store Now Open!

Funds Received & Pledge Manger Progress
We’re happy to share that we’ve received the funds from Kickstarter and are hard at work getting everything set up in BackerKit. Right now, we’re adding SKUs and making sure all the connections are correct so that any items you’ve selected as part of your pledge will automatically be in your cart and ready for you.
Once this is complete, we’ll send out a "smoke test" to about 10% of backers to ensure everything is working smoothly. After the test, we’ll start sending surveys to everyone.
We expect the full survey rollout to happen next week, so keep an eye on your inbox! As always, we’ll send a follow-up update once surveys have been fully sent out.
Once the pledge manager opens, you'll have plenty of time to complete your pledge: we plan on keeping pledges open for 30 days. After that, we'll lock orders, but you will still be able to change your shipping address at any point up until we begin shipping, so no worries if you move while the book is being made!
Preorder Store Now Open!
For those who missed out on backing the project during the campaign, we’ve got great news! Our preorder store is now open at:
Preorders will be shipped after all backers receive their pledges, but they have the same estimated delivery date of August 2025. So if you have any fellow adventurers who missed out on the campaign, let them know they can still be part of the action!
Thank you all for your patience and support. We can’t wait to get these surveys out and continue to bringing '80s Adventures to your tables!
Happy Adventuring, The Dice Dungeons Team
Thank You for a Tubular Campaign! What’s Next for '80s Adventures?
almost 2 years ago
– Thu, Aug 29, 2024 at 12:50:10 PM
A massive THANK YOU to every one of you who helped us totally rock this '80s Adventures campaign! Your enthusiasm and support have been nothing short of rad, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
All Stretch Goals Unlocked!
Inconceivable! Your tremendous support has helped us unlock the Expanded Bestiary as well as the '80s Adventures Quest Deck stretch goals! Now, with over 20 additional creatures and a digital deck of unique quest prompts, your '80s-inspired adventures will be even better! We couldn't be more thrilled to have unlocked every single goal.
If you’re not familiar with our Quest Decks line, head over to DiceDungeons.com to check out all 20 of our previous decks, each packed with quick and easy quest prompts to jump-start your campaigns. We can't wait to start writing the 80s themed deck!
We’re thinking about printing a physical deck - want to see it happen? Let us know in the comments!
Timeline and Next Steps
Now that the campaign has wrapped up, here’s what’s next:
Surveys: In about 2 weeks, Kickstarter will send us the funds from the campaign. Once we receive them, we’ll send out a rewards survey via BackerKit. This survey will allow you to select your rewards, choose any additional add-ons you want, and provide your shipping information. The survey link will be sent to the email associated with your Kickstarter account. Be sure to keep an eye out for it, and check your spam or promotional folder if you don’t see it.
Upgrades and Add-ons: While the surveys are active, you’ll be able to upgrade your pledge and/or add more items to your order. It's a great time to grab anything you missed!
Address Updates: You can update your address up until shipping begins (Expected Aug 2025) using your survey link. This ensures your rewards get to you without any issues.
Shipping: All rewards will ship around the same time. We’ll keep you updated on the progress and let you know when shipping begins.
Pre-Order Store: When surveys are sent, we’ll also open our pre-order store. If you have friends who missed out on the campaign, they can make a late pledge for '80s Adventures. Pre-orders will ship after backers receive their items, so let your friends know they can still join the adventure!
What’s Next for Playtesting?
We know some of you have been asking about playtesting, and we’re excited to share that we plan to open up a lot of previews and surveys following the launch of our pledge manager. While we don’t have exact details just yet - stay tuned - there will be an update with all the info around that time!
That’s all for now. Once again, thank you for making this campaign totally rad! We’re stoked to start bringing '80s Adventures to your D&D tables and will keep you updated as we move forward.
