Goodman Games launches Pinball Crawl Classics boxed adventure collection

Goodman Games launched a BackerKit crowdfunding campaign in mid‑January for Pinball Crawl Classics, a boxed collection of standalone adventures that translate the plots, art, and themes of classic 1970s–80s pinball machines into Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) and Mutant Crawl Classics (MCC) scenarios. The project packages five adventures inspired by machines including Gorgar, Centaur, Swords of Fury, Embryon, and Cosmic Gunfight, and aims at both OSR table‑top veterans and collectors drawn to authentic pinball artwork.

The campaign highlights official licensing for the pinball properties and a restoration and reuse of original playfield and backglass art, making the product appeal to GMs looking for visual hooks and to collectors chasing high‑quality physical components. Goodman offered multiple funding tiers, including a regular box and an exclusive clamshell box option, plus stretch goals and add‑ons intended to expand content and physical offerings as the campaign progresses. The BackerKit campaign went live in mid‑January and was running into February 2026.

For DCC and MCC groups, the boxed set delivers quick one‑shots and plug‑and‑play scenarios that can be dropped into ongoing campaigns or run as a rowdy multiball session of linked adventures. The adventure designs lean on old‑school mechanics and pulpy, table‑inspired premises—useful for GMs who want ready‑made scenarios with evocative art, strange table‑themed encounters, and built‑in hooks for treasure and retro tech. Mutant Crawl Classics players can expect the same pinball rhetoric reframed in post‑apocalyptic terms where applicable, keeping crossover playability between rulesets.

Community relevance is practical: backers get both playable modules and restored visual assets that double as display pieces, while stretch goals could add more scenarios, enhanced maps, or physical swag that changes how groups run the modules. The project is part of Goodman’s January crowdfunding slate, which also included an Old‑School Adventures line aimed at 5E fans, signaling the publisher’s current push to bridge OSR nostalgia with broader tabletop audiences.

What to watch next: the BackerKit window will determine stretch goals and add‑ons that shape final content and production quality, so check tiers and shipping details before pledging. For GMs, these adventures promise quick, art‑heavy one‑shots with plenty of pinball flavor—perfect for a convention slot, a one‑off high‑score night, or a campaign interlude that rewards flipper‑fingered creativity.
