Title: 7ombieTV - a 7TV Spin-off - NOW IN PRINT
Post by: uti long smile on 26 September 2011, 10:37:42 PM
Barricade your doors and start practising your head shots as we busy ourselves with a 7TV spinoff - 7ombieTV.

Carl Stoelzel (BooBoo) has kindly allowed us to develop his Creature Feature horror submission into a special Halloween release featuring everyone's favourite brain eaters.

This mini PDF will have stats and rules for Survivors and Zombies and a number of Zed-based scenarios to keep you busy on All Hallows Eve.

Here's a quick preview of the cover, to hopefully whet your appetites.

Busy this week with last minute edits and additions to our upcoming 7ombieTV PDF. Approx 60 pages, this is a standalone product complete with '7TV-lite' rules, although if you have the rulebook you can use the extra stuff in there as well. Find out more here:

http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/zombie.html

And every order leaving the store currently get a limited edition postcard as well, cunningly meat flavoured to buy you a few seconds when the undead burst in on you.

It looks very pretty.  I am on the fence about buying (even) more rules sets, but this one is very tempting...

Lovely miniature shots too.

Is there any chance that pdf's such as this could eventually be made available as print or maybe even Print on Demand? I know I asked if it will be print when it comes out, but maybe a compendium of bits and pieces could be viable in print format for those of us who like books for their gaming?

Bobble - we're just getting the files ready now. Had a very busy weekend driving back and forth to FIASCO, so a little behind.

Leon - we love paper products too. But our wallets are not so keen, as it costs us a fortune upfront :)

We already print on demand for the core rulebook and supplements, so we're not ruling it out completely, but it will likely stay electronic in the short to medium term.

There is a thread on the CD Forum discussing some of this if it helps:

I took the plunge and bought this yesterday, it looks very promising.  Very nicely put together too, a treat to read through.

Of course now I am toying with picking up all of the 7TV PDFs o_o

I've seen a review PDF to write my review with. This is greta - written with the usual deft humour and parallel plausibility. Cewl stuff.

Bobble - they might be delivered on Friday - but I suspect it more likely early next week by the time we have them into the store. Thanks in advance for the order.

Gary - many thanks!

Cheetor - I can only encourage you ;)

7ombieTV Event & Scavenge Cards set are now in the Crooked Dice webstore.

http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/store5.html#ztvcards

As seen in the 7ombieTV PDF, there are 36 new cards: 9 new zombie themed Event cards, from Sewer Rats to a Desperate Last Stand to get some edge of the sofa surprises in. And all 27 new Scavenge cards for your survivors to find, from the creepy Dolls Head to the over-the-top Lawnmower.

All printed in colour, with fronts, backs (and even very thin sides!). These are identical to the ones presented in the PDF, just all properly printed.

 I get this message: "PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem."

Sorry about that! We get that intermittently with some overseas orders! Send me a mail via mail@crooked-dice.co.uk and I'll sort it out for you.

Gruesome 7TV spinoff horror 7ombieTV gets into print as a 100 copy limited edition. All the gnawing fear of the PDF but you can hold it in your hands if you dare! 64 full colour pages of standalone rules, almost exactly the same as the PDF but with a few edits in. 7ombieTV cards and tokens are also available.

The print book is up at £12 + postage: UK, Euro, Int'l (surface/air)
The book + PDF is £17 + postage
The tokens are £6 – note these are pre-orders so orders containing this item will be held until they come into stock.

Is there an errata? Or maybe an updated PDF available?

I dont have the cash for hard copies of my 7TV PDFs at the moment, but I would like to know what has been altered or corrected if possible.

Post by: uti long smile on 18 January 2012, 10:13:56 PM
Almost nothing in 7ombieTV. A couple of very minor typoes and cross-references with 7TV. Plus a couple of pages were reordered and a poster dropped to get it to fit into a print friendly 68 pages.

The only significant oversight was for Crossbows - which do not trigger Zombie Reactions.

We'll get an erratta PDF up though.

Wow, mine arrived today*, that's fast!

Just had a quick leaf through: Good quality print, good paper. The rules themselves are nicely laid out and a pleasure to read.  :-*

*I ordered it around the same time I made my previous post on this thread.
