Troubled by dreams of a divine avatar, Afuri hires the adventurers to delve into a flooded tunnel system and retrieve a four-armed silver idol. A 1st level adventure, compatible with the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game.
The Dreamgod's Idol is an old-school 1st level DCC-compatible adventure. Hiwiski the Dream God slumbers still, calling through the dreamland for champions to save her!
We're releasing The Dreamgod's Idol in both PDF and print. Unlike our other Menagerie Press projects, we're handling print and fulfillment ourselves. We're also offering the Menagerie Press PDF and print bundles as options.
The Dreamgod's Idol is finished and edited. It will be available in PDF and print. We plan on using the same printer that Goodman Games recommends. Print copies will be shipped via media mail (US addresses only) to make our logistics easier. International backers who order physical prints will receive at-cost print-on-demand copies, printed and fulfilled via DriveThruRPG.
Dungeon Crawl Classics, or DCC RPG, is a fast-paced, open-feeling rules set allowing for epic game experiences without unnecessary tethers. It uses modern game-play while paying homage to the origins of role-playing and the fun that it inspired.
This is our first DCC adventure, but not our first RPG product!
Our Shadowdark work includes the Iron-Aged themed Celtic Shadows, the Shadowdark hardback megadungeon The Pits of Brund, the adventure collection Woeful Barrows and Other Places, Rats of Ul-Gol, and several Shadowdark classes (arcanist, berserker, duelist, magus). We're also collaborating with Antidote Gaming on an upcoming project.
Our D&D 5E Organized Play adventures include Chaos in the City of Splendors, Spears of Glip Dak: Four Adventures, Swords of the Moonsea: Five Adventures, Streams of Crimson, The Dark Hunt, The White Well, Blue Scales, Citadel of Vlaakith, Scales of Justice, and numerous other modules. Our non-Organized Play D&D 5E work includes Adûl, City of Gold, The Black Lotus of Thalarion, The Dream Prison, Ghoul Cove, Careless Adventurer's Guide to Hazards, Descent Into Mirefen, Temple of Misfortune, The Waxwyrm Bounties, and other publications.
We also created Westlands, a 2D6 RPG based on Traveller and Sword of Cepheus, and have over a dozen adventures available for that system.
Menagerie Press is collaborating with Monster Mage Games!
Monster Mage is releasing Dark Vermin, a tightly focused Shadowdark supplement about giant vermin. Dark Vermin is a 32-page book with 10 monsters, a mini adventure with maps, and paper tokens, illustrated in an OSR style.
If you back both Dreamgod's Idol and Dark Vermin, you'll get something extra from each of us:
From Menagerie Press, you'll get extra full-page digital color art and alternate DCC Dreamgod encounters inspired by Dark Vermin.
For US backers, we are printing and shipping The Dreamgod's Idol ourselves. This marks our first foray into handling our own logistics, and we're doing our best to get it right. For international backers, we're using DriveThruRPG for at-cost print-on-demand printing and shipping (see FAQ).
PDF and print-on-demand copies are fulfilled by DriveThruRPG. Backers receive a one-time code for PDF and/or print-on-demand (POD) copies. POD backers are responsible for a small printing and shipping fee, and DriveThruRPG prints and ships their books. This is the most cost-efficient method to get print copies to our backers.
The book costs are approx. $5-10 + shipping per book for books in the USA. This is collected by DriveThruRPG per book for printing (the actual price depends on the final page count). Each book retails for $14.99 + shipping or more, so you save by backing us on BackerKit.
Additional costs may be incurred from customers in the EU or customers impacted by UK shipping tariffs. Please check with your local post offices, as these situations vary by region and package details.
