My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way is among the voice cast for a new pinball machine themed around the world of ‘Dungeons & Dragons’.
Wizards of the Coast and Stern Pinball are releasing the table, officially titled ‘Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant’s Eye’, where “players are chosen members of the Dragonshield Guild, trying to defeat the dragon queen Tiamat, who is hatching a plan to rise again, triggering the War of Dragons, with Xanathar, Balinor and Sammaster all fighting for power. Players will experience the game’s fantasy world under the glass, fusing pinball with the iconic franchise like never before.”

In addition to Way, Dethlok‘s Brendon Small also provides a voice as does filmmakers Kevin Smith and Chris Prynoski. Music is by composer Chris Velasco (‘Bloodborne’, ‘Mass Effect 2’).
Way is a longtime ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ fan, regular shouting the game out on social media and in interviews. In 2015, he told Time Out “I always played a half-elven ranger. I like rangers — they can track things down and use a bow. It was always hard finding clerics though: to find a friend of yours that’d want to play a guy with a mace that healed people. That was very hard.”
He even posted photos of himself playing on Instagram alongside his brother Mikey back in 2020 as he celebrated his birthday in lockdown.
Late last year, My Chemical Romance’s ‘The Black Parade’ won the first ever Inspiration Award as part of our 2024 Rock Sound Awards Issue.
As the generation-defining record turns 18 years old, we explore how they successfully reinvented the album for a celebratory headline performance at When We Were Young Festival alongside exclusive, never before seen photos from the show.
