Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye Pinball Machine
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
Stern's Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye is an officially licensed pinball release built around the Dragonshield Guild's quest to prevent Tiamat's War of Dragons. Artwork is by Vincent Proce, the score is by composer Cris Velasco, and voice work is performed by Michael Dorn, Kevin Smith, Luke Gygax, Chris Prynoski, Brendon Small, Gerard Way, Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, and Marisha Ray.
At the center of the playfield is Rath the Relentless, an animatronic red dragon voiced by Michael Dorn with multi-axis motion and omnidirectional impact sensing. Players target a 3-bank feature to challenge Rath, who responds with fire-breath multi-ball and reactive defensive behavior under the glass.

Construction
The Pro is the standard production cabinet with the base feature set. The Premium adds enhanced Rath animatronic motion paths, additional under-playfield magnets for dragon-related shots, and upgraded cabinet armor with premium trim. Rules are identical between editions.
The signature center-playfield feature is Rath the Relentless, a custom-sculpted animatronic red dragon. Rath uses multi-axis motion and omnidirectional impact sensing to react dynamically to player shots — and breathes fire to trigger multi-ball.
Voice work is performed by an all-star D&D ensemble: Michael Dorn (Rath), Kevin Smith, Luke Gygax, Chris Prynoski, Brendon Small, Gerard Way, Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, and Marisha Ray. The dialog tree is more deeply produced than a typical pinball voice package.
Cabinet and playfield art is by Vincent Proce — known for the heavy-line illustrative style applied across the D&D playfield, translite, and cabinet panels. Score is by Cris Velasco.
Powered by Stern's SPIKE platform — the same electronics infrastructure used across Stern's current lineup. Service procedures, replacement boards, and firmware updates are consistent with other Stern titles.
Insider Connected is included on all current Stern production. Players track scores and participate in challenges; operators get analytics, marketing tools, and remote diagnostics through the same connection.
