Edit
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!
Hired by Afuri Milespan, occultist and merchant, the adventurers delve into a flooded tunnel system to retrieve a sorcerous four-armed silver idol. Within the desecrated fane they'll encounter the restless dead, obscura dévorer, vile cultists of Miijul the Dream-Eater, and more.
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.

WHAT IS DCC RPG?
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.
Edit
We also created Westlands, a 2D6 RPG based on Traveller and Sword of Cepheus, and have over a dozen adventures available for that system.
OTHER RPG PRODUCTS
This is our first DCC adventure, but not our first RPG product!

Edit
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.
