My friend Chris is doing a Kickstarter for his game Wild in the Streets, in which gangs of members of various subcultures fight it out in the streets, have a read of the intro below to get a feel:

Wild in the Streets is a low-cost, fast-paced skirmish game brought to you by bloodthirsty gangs of Murder Cult Girls, Crust Punks, Goths, Skinheads, and the Straight Edge crew!

In Wild in the Streets, you choose a gang to lead into back-alley street fights.

Want to throw down with Murder Cult Girls? You can.

Goths more your style? Better wear black.

Wanna paint some Skinheads? Put on your favorite oi! record while you do it.

Feel like spare changing before the fight? The Crusties will be there with you.

Got alcohol free paints? Maybe the Straight Edge crew is for you.

So, where did the idea of mixing miniatures and subcultures come from, you might ask? Well, for twenty years our gaming group has smashed through dozens of miniature games and RPGs as well as played in bands, done ‘zines and booked shows. The miniatures are all based on us and our friends.

And best of all – your miniatures are nearly ready to ship.

The game rules are written, the models are sculpted, and the card layout is complete – we just need your help getting everything cast, printed and into your hands as soon as possible. To streamline this process, we’ve made several customer-first decisions. First, we’ve made starting gangs super affordable. Second, we’ve already sculpted all the models before this Kickstarter campaign. Our goal here at Slow Death Games is to get Wild in the Streets into your hands immediately.

The first five gangs are ready, and you can read about them below. When you choose your backer level, you’ll also get to choose which specific gangs you want to collect and throw down with. In the future, we also plan to release several more gangs – as well as other exciting enhancements – but we’ll keep that a small secret for now.

Finally, let’s talk about game play. Wild in the Streets is quick, innovative and nearly free of record keeping. Game play allows for two to four players per game. Setup rules simulate a fight that had already started (or just about to start) instead of people staring at each other across the board waiting for action. Models activate when their card is pulled from a common deck, generating an unpredictable gang fight. You might have planned for your crust punks to ambush a lone death rocker but getting sucker punched by a group of skinheads threw a wrench into your plans. There are also event cards that can modify game play by impacting the models in a positive or negative way.

So let’s do this! Grab your dice, your terrain, a splash of paint... and let’s run Wild in the Streets!


Here are some of the already completed/nearly completed models for the various gangs:

Crusty Punks:


Goths:


Murder Cult:


and from updates, a scale picture so you can see how they compare to other brands:


From left to right: Privateer Press, Games Workshop, Wild In the Streets, Hasslefree, Wild In the Streets.


This is a real DIY labour of love that Chris has been working on for a few years, you can read an interview I conducted with him about the game and it's development here which will give you a bit more insight into the creative process and the themes he wanted to touch upon.

Another really cool thing is how the sculpts of the models are based off real people, like Sid the Crusty Punk below:


If you have any queries, get in touch with Chris via the Kickstarter, i'll try and help with anything I know about too!

Thanks for looking.

Is $1000 a reasonable amount to cast all the minis and print the rules?

A valid concern! The QuickStart rules are two sides of A4 and accessible on the Slow Death Games site here if you'd like to take a look. On the miniatures, I know the production is at an advanced stage, and they are mainly one piece so not too tricky or expensive to cast.

Please tell me you have model release forms or some sort of legal ass coverage for the sculpts you are basing on real people.

Anyway, the sculpts have a lot of character. Best of luck.

Damn. I love this. Minis are unique and look pretty well done. The concept for a game is new and innovative. Rules are simple and sound fun. A starter pledge at only $15? And only $7 shipping to the U.S.? Nice work gents. I went ahead and backed and I may even increase my pledge at a later date. The $500 big pledge is awesome too and I hope some people take advantage of that.

Crusty punk sculpts aren't crusty enough for me!

Where's all the Discharge- style crazy liberty spikes and mohawks?

Quite tempted to back this as it makes me look back on my wilder, younger days. Certainly has the old Circle Jerks' song stuck in my head!

Youth crew aren't waving enough X's with their hands either!

Close friends are usually the ones you need the legal paperwork from the most. If you start making money, and they hit hard times, things can get very ugly.

In my experience, all it took was hanging out on campus with a pencil and a sketch pad. As long as you show respect for your subjects, people will want to pose.

I will vouch for what Bob says.

Sitting around drawing people (with permission especially) got me into all sorts of fun escapades and misadventures in college.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Just pledged!

If I wanted two gangs could I double pledge for the $15 option? Not sure I want 4 gangs for $50, but 2 for $30 seems reasonable.

With the theme of the figures I was thinking more Circle Jerks...

They have entered the last week and have unlocked the female Goth reinforcements and are not far off from unlocking the next stretch goal, Claudia the Murder Cult Girls leader.

They have done a few short videos going over the basics.

I think Claudia and the three alternate Goths would make a badass little gang on their own.
