Crooked Dice: 7TV Preview

[uti long smile]

Things are ticking along very nicely over here at Crooked Towers with our 7TV rules (thanks as ever to all those lovely playtesters who are playing as I write).

And just to prove we're not sitting on our laurels here is a preview of the rulebook cover.



7TV is a tabletop miniatures game set in the classic sci-fi and action TV shows of the 60s and 70s.

The plots are preposterous and the guest stars improbable. Car chases, debonair adventuring, punch-ups, explosions and open-top sports cars are all in a days work in 7TV. From the groovy mews of London town to the casino tables of Monte Carlo, flamboyant rogues and high-kicking heroines safeguard the world against madmen, despots and secret cults.

You can fight across the tabletop as your favourite re-diffused heroes or villains. Flamboyant geniuses, karate kicking angels or unearthly agents sent to maintain the universal balance fight against double agents, sultry spies, mad scientists and supernatural legends.

So get out from behind the sofa, put the kettle on and stay tuned for more from 7TV – released in early 2011.

This must be the aesthetically most pleasing rulebook cover I've seen in years. Positively shagadelic.

Cheers Chris! Graeme and I are both graphic designers so something must have rubbed off. Plus Stan Chow's original illustrations do most of the hard work.

Great artwork, really looking forward to this!

Superb. 

[Steve F]

Lovely.  I particularly like the way that the logo resembles an old-fashioned TV aerial.

Might be worth removing the "1" from the variable-wing plane, to make it a shade less obviously identifiable?

Well it's proved so popular, that our 7TV artwork is now available to buy as an A2 poster.

Limited to 50 numbered copies, the posters come on proper stock in poster tubes and everything. All profits will go towards the production costs of the actual rulebook. Show your support for the genre and awe visitors with its stylish retro look. Shipping end of November.

Take a look in the store for full details.

I too am looking forward to this rules set - now to paint up some of KKBB figures I've been hoarding.
