XCrawl Classics

I’ve had the pleasure of illustrating numerous adventures and supplements for Goodman Games’ insane Xcrawl Classics roleplaying game. Set in an alternate modern world where dungeon crawling has become a televised professional sport, Xcrawl combines classic fantasy monsters with over-the-top action, satire, and gladiatorial spectacle.

One of my favorite contributions to the line was creating the front and back cover illustrations for the Xcrawl Classics RPG Softcover Edition, published in 2026. The wraparound cover captures the game’s unique blend of fantasy adventure and sports entertainment, throwing fearless adventurers, outrageous monsters, and larger-than-life action into a single panoramic scene.

Working on Xcrawl has been a natural fit. The setting’s mix of humor, high fantasy, and energetic action is very much in my wheelhouse, allowing me to pack each illustration with expressive characters, dramatic storytelling, and plenty of visual details for eagle-eyed fans to discover. It’s always a joy to help bring Brendan LaSalle’s wonderfully unhinged world to life.

In addition to the softcover rulebook, I’ve contributed artwork to numerous Xcrawl Classics adventures and publications, continuing my long-running collaboration with Goodman Games on both the Xcrawl and Dungeon Crawl Classics lines.
