About
1985 Games is a tabletop gaming company that operates from Portland, Oregon, and is founded on a very simple concept, which is to design products to enhance creativity, immersion and fun at the table. Starting with our first Kickstarter in 2019, we went from one product line to a wide range of tabletop accessories, dice, terrain, books, board games and original worlds.
It all began with **Dungeon Craft**, a unique 2D terrain system that allows Game Masters to affordably construct engaging encounters without investing in complicated 3D terrain models. In addition to Dungeon Craft, we added Battle Maps, tabletop accessories, collectible dice, sharp-edge dice and products like VHS Dice to the roster, always trying to improve the tabletop experience.
Crowdfunding has been essential to our development as it allowed us to realize our ambitious ideas together with our supporters. Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass became our largest project so far, which was funded for over $2.6 million dollars from more than 23,000 backers. Our campaign setting evolved into a fully-fledged world that includes original characters, creatures, locations, stories, games and products. Available also on DnDBeyond.com the official digital toolset and tabletop companion for Dungeons & Dragons.
At present, 1985 Games has evolved from the product lines of accessories and collectibles into a platform that is capable of housing ideas and creating worlds. While developing the existing products such as Dungeon Craft and our expanding dice lines, we have also been exploring and expanding Obojima through the creation of tabletop games, accessories, collectibles and new experiences based on our new ideas.
We believe that great game companies do not just create products to sell, but something that people want to be part of. The community helped us evolve 1985 Games from one Kickstarter idea to an independent game company and we are only just getting started.
