Thanks so much to Brian Eddy, Elizabeth Gieske, George Gomez, Retro Ralph, and Cary Hardy for sharing the mic direct from the streaming players lounge at Stern Pinball! Game was good fun even in early prerelease setup. Can't wait to see how it evolves from here!
D&D pinball offers strong playfield design with character leveling and save features, but Premium/LE value depends on expression lights.

I stopped by Benton Wisconsin for some Spooky quality time and a marathon on Evil Dead which IS ON THE LINE RIGHT NOW CAN CONFIRM 100% haha. Gotta be clear how I word things. Let's pinball you guys!! donspinballpodcast@gmail.com
