For Ghouls and Colleges brings a UK twist and some minor misdemeanors to 7ombieTV. Play cannibal ghouls such as the twisted Number 11 or two new survivor casts – the Girls of St Searle’s or the vicious Borstal Boys.

For those curious, this book takes the style and setting of 7ombieTV, set in the 1980's America and crosses the Pond to the UK for some silliness there.

This supplement contains the following:
- Two new weapons (Slingshot and hockey stick)
- Four new casts!
- New Ghoul extras.
- Five new episodes (missions).
- A card cut-out double-decker bus.
- Four new event cards specifically made for the new casts.
- New spawn cards for use with the episodes.
- And all the thickly laid on fluff you've come to love and expect from the creators!

The new casts are:
- Generic ghouls, humans with a hankering for human flesh.
- The Girls of St. Earle's, a private school for girls.
- The Borstal Boys, the juvenile inmates of a youth institution.
- The Number 11, an armoured double-decker bus full of ghouls.

I've been watching the shows that the game used as inspiration.

I'm a big fan of that Jason King stuff. I think that guy is pretty cool.


A question on the game- How do Cobblestones, and Killer B's guys scale up to Crooked Dices guys? Are they the same size,. or slightly smaller?

Hypothetical- I want to start playing 7TV. Do I have to buy all of that stuff, or would that book be good to start with?

Evil genius Wars, I'm thinking. a crew of terrorists tries to fight with one of Dr Evil's minions and bite off more then they bargin for.


How do RAFM's USX guys scale up to the Crooked Dice ones, as well? I'd like to throw in a few deep ones Vs the Evil Genius minions.

Really neat stuff in there. Got a few giant monsters that I could even throw in there courtesy of Pulp City.

Can't comment on Killer B's or RAFM, but I do have a pack of Copplestone's secret agents and they size up nicely with minis from Crooked Dice, Hasslefree and Andrew Rae's excellent ranges.

Available the first of December:



The mighty TALOS and the Metalnauts!

Also:

Top BAD news is that due to Graeme having a bit of idiot confusion, Crooked Dice will NOT be trading at this year’s Targe show in Kirriemuir, on Saturday 10th November. Neverthless, if you’re thinking about going, go.

And finally..

Also, one of the Crisis guys (hi Ruud!) pointed out that I promised him 7ombieTV free downloads, and that there were in fact none. That’s fixed – check out the bottom of the 7ombieTV Page for tokens, cards, templates and the whole DIY cabin in the woods in PDF.

All downloads can be found at the bottom of this page: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/?page_id=25

Cover finished for 'The Man From 2000' Programme Guide tonight. Doors and Swirls and Dinosaurs. Oh my!

Pity, was hoping for a "The Beat" guide myself.

And here's the cover art:

Coming tomorrow..

The Argonauts are out now and can be found here: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/ulysses-argo-talos/ & http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/argonauts/

Also,

Today is the start of our Crooked Christmas Cracker promotion. From 1st-7th December we are offering 25% off all our products when you spend £40 or more. Simply enter the code DEC25OFF492 when you get to the cart.

And I really hope this is not just the set-up for an early "April Fool", but

Crooked Dice wrote:April will bring five more future freedom fighters to liberate your tabletops (although one of them is a box), just in time for Salute!

So it looks like April will be quite a month for me. I will have to get a move on with the models from that range I already have!

Newsletter time: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/news/011212news.pdf

Amazing stuff. Wonder how these giant statues will do against the Pulp City monsters?


We're going to find out.

Fear not. I am currently working on The Beat's programme guide, which will form part of the Heroes Programme Guide release this spring. Cops, robbers, car cases and cardboard boxes aplenty.

Amazing! I can't wait!

Also, any word on 8TV (sp?) that we spied in the ruins of your London demo board?

Still just a gleam in our eyes for now. But as soon as we figure out how to decompress AndyM's miniaturised prototype copy...

Hey,

Yep. Gona have to get these two detectives to use as corporate suits in my sedition wars army.

Can't wait for Misty. Shes going to tag along with scooby and the gang, and a few from reaper for some fun.

Zombies.... covered.

What is the brit cop show that these guys are from are called?

Misty is already out, I'm waiting with ordering her myself until the Ghouls and Colleges print is on pre-order.

The coppers are from Life on Mars, a BBC show from 2006. There is an American version of it, but I'd avoid that until you've seen the UK version.
