About the book:

Goodman Games is proud to present Xcrawl Classics RPG core rulebook, the exciting game of livestreamed Xtreme Dungeon Crawling! In Xcrawl, professional adventurers team up to challenge manufactured dungeons for fabulous prizes with the whole event streamed live on spell phones.

Xcrawl Classics is a complete RPG with new classes, spells, monsters, and more suitable for populating your Xcrawl campaigns. Enjoy creating improbable encounters not found in a standard fantasy setting that players will never forget. Triumph over parachuting velociraptors, karate dragons, and more for fame and fortune! Xcrawl Classics is 100% compatible with Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, meaning it’s a snap to use material for one game in the other.

Welcome to Xcrawl, a fantasy world where the most popular sport is livestreamed Xtreme Dungeon Crawling! Professional adventurers team up to challenge a Dungeon Judge, or DJ, in a manufactured dungeon with the whole event streamed live on spell phones Empire-wide!

The DJ builds a dungeon inside an arena with all the classic elements: horrific monsters, lethal traps, enticing treasures, magical hazards, secret doors, puzzles, and more. The DJ forces strategic thinking by manufacturing improbable EYE GEAR situations that simply could not be discovered in a standard fantasy setting: warhorses with trapped exploding saddles, hang-gliding velociraptors, jello golems bursting through brick walls, and goblin go- kart races.

The players crawl their way through the DJ’s dungeon, winning battles, collecting fabulous prizes, and powering up with magic treasure – while plugging their sponsors, posing for the camera, and taking selfies for the audience!

Successful crawl teams become superstar influencers, rich on endorsement deals and riding the celebrity lifestyle. Unsuccessful crawlers die in the dungeon as yesterday’s news, or, if they’re lucky, retire injured to a sideshow living as a referee or backstage monster handler.

Most importantly, Xcrawl is fun – monster-slaying, sports-car-winning, crowd-pumping, face-on-the- cereal-box dungeon fun!
