Goodman Games has placed XCrawl Classics RPG: Core Rulebook onto preorder.

In Xcrawl, players take on the roles of brave professional adventurers engaging in an live-on-pay-per-view death sport, The Extreme Dungeon Crawl League.  The Dungeon Judge, or DJ, builds up an artificial dungeon that is a lethal maze with traps, secret doors, monsters, treasure, and prizes.  The adventurers then try to navigate the dungeon as while the Citizens of the North American Empire tunes in every week to see who makes it out alive.

This game was originally announced back in 2020 and was crowdfunded last year, raising $236,000 from 1,592 backers (about $148 per backer).  The new book will ship once it is printed and will retail for $59.99.

Goodman Games' products were also recently featured at Free RPG Day 2024 (see "Free RPG Day Gets a Date").
