The Dire Truckstop - An XCrawl Classics Zine

About Dire Truck Stop

What started as a single deadly encounter has evolved into a full-blown roadside nightmare!

Dire Truck Stop began as a demo encounter created by Dungeon Judge Foxy for the Goodman Games sales booth, designed to showcase the wild, over-the-top action and absolute mayhem of the XCrawl Classics RPG!

After making an appearance at Crawl for the Cure in 2025, Foxy's deadly creation is hitting the road once again! Now, in partnership with Rugby-Melee Games, this fan-favorite encounter has been expanded into a zine-sized 1st-level adventure for XCrawl Classics!

Welcome to Trucky's XStop, where the snacks are questionable, the danger is real, and your next pit stop might just be your last!

Dire Truck Stop is packed with everything you love about XCrawl Classics: brutal combat encounters, devious puzzles, unexpected dangers, and the kind of outrageous action that keeps crawlers coming back for more!

But that's not all! This adventure also introduces Trucky's XStop, a brand-new sponsor joining the wild and wacky world of XCrawl Classics. Because nothing says entertainment quite like corporate sponsorship and the possibility of a gruesome death!

Fuel up. Gear up. Fight for your life!
