We are making great progress on the revised 7TV Core Rulebook.

Currently looking at 270+ pages and almost all of that is drafted and laid out. That includes 100+ new profiles and we are reviewing the last 32 Star and Co-Stars this week.

There are three starter scenarios in the book too (The Devil of Sherwood, The Moon is Not Enough and Queen of the Sun) which are being play-tested.

The Kickstarter is all built and has plenty of gaming stretch goals and a handful of cool new minis. Plans are to launch the 7TV Core Rulebook Kickstarter early May.

One big change is that I am splitting the 80s genre pack out into a separate Kickstarter that I will run late summer. For a number of reasons, it makes more sense to establish the core rulebook, then the genre packs. Plus there’s a ton of minis for the 80s that are better suited to that campaign, rather than giving the CRB too much of an 80s feel.

So you will have to wait just a wee bit longer for 80s, but to placate you - here’s an exclusive preview of the Core Rulebook cover. Hope you like it!

 

This is the KS project I'm looking forward to the most this year.  I have Crooked Dice's 7tv Pulp and 7tv Fantasy games, and they're great beer and pretzels games that fit well with Reaper's miniatures. 

The idea behind the game is that you and your opponents forces of miniatures are the cast of characters making a movie or TV show.  Although that sounds kind of corny, it really works.  I don't think I've ever won a game, but I've had a blast every time I've played. 

This core rulebook is Crooked Dice changing their approach to the game - instead of having a bunch of box sets where the core rules duplicate each other, they're going to publish this revised core, then do genre packs.  The genre packs come in VHS clamshells.

Just received notice this KS launches at 6pm* April 30th, and will run for two weeks. 


*no time zone stated, but since Crooked Dice is in the UK, I presume that's UTC, which puts it at 1pm Central/Reaper Time.

Edited first post to update that KS is now live.

About an hour left to go for the Early Bird Mini:

Here's the current stretch goal graphic: 

 

I don 't know if there are any stretch goals beyond this. 

The minis are available separately from the game.  Also, the EB mini is not exclusive - it will be available to everyone who backs, it's just free for those who back at over 60 pounds in the first 24 hours.

I thought I'd post the pictures of the various minis that are part of this KS. There is a minis only option for those of you less interested in the game itself.

Ahhh..... so tempting.  £1 pledge, £25 add-on, plus £18 shipping to USA makes it $47.52 for an 8 figure Add-On.   ~$6 per figure.

If it helps - I have a couple of their metal figures, and I've personally handled my friend's from the Action set - the quality is on par with reaper metal.   A touch smaller, so more in line with 20-25 yr old reaper figs on size.

They are almost always very clean casts.

In for a penny, in for a pound.  I backed for two sets, Action and Sci-Fi.   For about the cost of a Bones expansion set I'm getting the figures I want, and in metal.  And they'll show up before B5 does, too.

B6 you mean? I hope you've received your B5 already.

Yeah, that. 🙂 Whatever the last one was.

I have their ghostbuster / slimmer set and it’s very nice quality and painted up well.

They've added a PDF only option, if you want to dip your toe into 7tv w/o spending much:

And this KS was funded and ended last night.  Thanks to all of you here who participated.  Now the wait to get our stuff (which should be this fall).
