Support "The Fungal Realms" Backerkit to bring this 8-bit inspired RPG adventure to life. With retro pixel art and imaginative gameplay, this project offers a nostalgic journey for tabletop enthusiasts and new players alike!



Welcome to 8-Bit Adventures, where nostalgia meets tabletop innovation! Inspired by the beloved pixelated video games of the 1980s, this tabletop role-playing game brings your favorite 8-bit Adventures to life in a whole new way. Join us and dive into the 86-page "Fungal Realms" sourcebook, a universe where pixelated graphics translate into campy gameplay and unique character development.

Inside the Rulebook
  • New Mounts: Tired of the old-fashion "horse?" In the Fungal Realms, you can cruise around on a Dino or a Go-Go Kart!
  • Three Playable Species: Fungal Realms adds three playable species: Caplings, Cloaklings, and Gorilloids.
  • 10 3D Printable Miniatures: We've commissioned miniatures for 9 of the critters in The Fungal Realms!
  • 10 New Magic Items: Equip your heroes with amazing magic items to keep them hopping through the game!
  • 11 Locations: Included in the sourcebook are the outlines for 11 locations in the Fungal Realms
  • 12 Story Hooks: Keep your campaign going with twelve themed mini-adventures
  • 20 Iconic Monsters: Whether you're fighting off the Shellback Legion or the undead Boneclatter, there are ample adversaries in this book!
  • Optional Rules: A good 8-bit adventure would be nothing without a few optional rules to make your game really stand out and feel like you're playing in your favorite video game. 



In this case, 8-Bit Adventures is a tabletop role-playing game that incorporates familiar mechanics of D&D 5e, but designed in a way to capture the essence of classic video gaming. Players can explore vibrant worlds ranging from the mysterious Mushroom Forests to the treacherous Pixel Peaks, each teeming with unique creatures like the Stompkins, Shellback Troopers, and the mighty Gorilloids.


We're revising this 8-Bit Adventure setting with a new layout and art to build upon the amazing original series. Through crowdfunding we hope to bring the community of retro game enthusiasts and tabletop gamers together to roll some dice! Your support will help us refine the game mechanics, expand the creature and lore compendium, and produce high-quality materials that embody the spirit of arcade games and the adventure we all felt in the early days of 8-bit adventures.



  • Early Access: Play this revisited "Fungal Realms" before its general release!
  • Special Editions: Get your hands on collector’s edition rulebooks, dice sets, and more with unique 8-bit designs.
  • Create with Us: High-tier backers can vote on new characters, monsters, or quests that we will feature in the final product.
  • Community and Recognition: Receive early updates through our Discord server and get your name in the credits as a thank you for your support.





Nothing sets a game apart these days better than a table fully of minis! With this Backerkit, you can get get an entire ARMY of shellbacks, the Shellback King, stoneshells, undead shellbacks, and more!

In the event we reach our STRETCH GOAL to go to print with these books, shipping prices will be determined when we package everything up for fulfillment. The reason for this is quite simply: shipping prices are notoriously finicky. We couldn't put a price on that cost right now and guarantee it would be valid by the time we're ready to ship. You can estimate media rates will range between $7-10, depending upon the package you purchase.

Right now, the plan is to have a SHIPPING ADD-ON for you to purchase during fulfillment. That way, if you don't to get the physical copy by paying the shipping cost, just don't add the shipping ADD-ON.

Our Vision

With 8-Bit RPG, we aim to blend the simplicity and charm of 8-bit video games with the depth and versatility of modern tabletop RPGs. Whether you're reliving your childhood or experiencing this genre for the first time, the 8-Bit RPG offers a unique, engaging, and nostalgic adventure for everyone.

Join Us on This Retro Quest
We invite you to help bring this pixelated dream to reality. Your support will not just relaunch our game—it will ignite a community and revive a cherished era of gaming history.

Pledge today, and let’s create something extraordinary together!
