Crooked Dice: 7TV Dracula Kickstarter

7TV Dracula ist der Name des aktuellen Kickstarter von Crooked Dice.

7TV Dracula – 28mm gothic horror miniatures & rules

Play a blood-chilling skirmish campaign charting Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece – fighting for the very soul of humanity!

“ENTER FREELY AND OF YOUR OWN WILL!”

To celebrate 125 years of Dracula, Crooked Dice Game Design Studio hope to fund the production of skirmish rules, scenarios and miniatures for our popular 7TV cinematic skirmish system – set in Bram’s Stoker’s gothic novel.

It’s also the ideal starting game for players new to 7TV, with a special pledge designed with beginners in mind.

Included are:

• The 7TV DRACULA CORE RULES – a unique hardback collector’s edition of 7TV Fantasy that allows you to play the scenarios in the Feature Pack.
• The 7TV DRACULA FEATURE PACK – five skirmish scenarios that challenge players to explore the characters, locations and gothic themes of the novel.
• Over 30 highly detailed 28mm white metal MINIATURES. Sculpts have been brought to life by the very talented Ernst Veingart and Ari Níelsson.
• And if we are successful, we have a number of STRETCH GOALS that include freebies and add-ons of even more figure sculpts, more accessory and profile cards and extra content for the feature pack and core rules!

FLEXIBLE OPTIONS FOR EVERY BACKER

In this campaign, we are aiming to appeal to existing 7TV fans and to new players alike, by making 7TV Dracula as flexible a gaming and Kickstarter experience as possible. 

Pledges and add-ons have been designed to enable backers to play the game both standalone or simply ‚plug-and-play‘ with their existing 7TV rulesets – so hopefully something to suit all tastes and budgets!

To help you find the perfect pledge and navigate the options, try finding what best suits your interests below.

THE FEATURE PACK

In this pack, players can pit their wits in a series of linked adventures – a blood-chilling campaign charting Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece!

Play a cast of heroic vampire hunters or the forces of darkness controlled by the diabolic Count Dracula. Recreate epic clashes in Transylvania, Whitby, the Westenra Tomb, Carfax Abbey and Castle Dracula. The feature pack includes bespoke chapters, characters and artifacts – plus adds new mechanics inspired by the classic novel.

RETRO VHS PACKAGING!

Packaged in a retro VHS case, this Feature Pack for 7TV Fantasy is our biggest yet! It is packed with an 80 page episode guide, 36 new profile cards, new status tokens and over 60 original accessory cards – all beautifully illustrated by Dave Needham!

It provides everything you need to play this gothic edition of 7TV including how to use the new diurnal deck and epistolary cards and rules for new Dracula-specific statuses – Bitten and Horrified!

The episode guide details the five chapters, and goes behind the scenes to explore the making of a 1970s television adaptation of Dracula that never was!

7TV DRACULA CORE RULES

Crowdfunding this project gives us an opportunity to offer an optional standalone version of the 7TV rules – handy for those new to the world of 7TV and a lovely collector’s edition for diehard fans. 

The 7TV Dracula Core Rules draws together the skirmish rules you will need to play the 7TV Dracula Feature Pack – using the familiar mechanics from the 7TV Fantasy boxed set.

This special collector’s edition was born from the desire to introduce a whole new audience to 7TV – through a shared love of Dracula and playing games.

Presented in a single volume and a new handy print size (US Royal, 229 x 152mm), this deluxe hardback is printed on 150gsm stock and threadsewn to last until the 200th anniversary of Dracula – and beyond! A must for 7TV and gothic horror fans alike! Included are:

• An Introduction by Dacre Stoker – author and great-grand nephew of Bram Stoker.
• Fully compatible with the 7TV Fantasy rules. All the content from the Director’s Guide is included – but material from the Producer’s and Casting Guides have been condensed or removed for this tailored edition.
•  New rules and mechanics specially written for this gothic edition – including how to use the new diurnal deck and epistolary cards and rules for new Dracula Specific statuses – Bitten and Horrified!
• Beautiful new line art from illustrator Dave Needham and sumptuous paintings by Ste Brotherstone!

PLUS we have planned stretch goals to add exclusive content!

MINIATURES

This campaign hopes to fund over 30 new sculpts designed to use with the feature pack – but also suitable for any victorian or horror gaming. Miniatures will be cast in white metal, with larger figures and small terrain pieces cast in resin.

All Crooked Dice miniatures are 28mm scale. This means they are 28mm from the base of the foot to eye – so stand approximately 32mm tall. Comparable ranges are Hasslefree, Copplestone and Artizan.

CASTING CALL

These packs of miniatures are already in production, but can be added to your rewards – as can the value of any items from the Crooked Dice website.

Versand:

As a long standing mail order business with a successful web store, we ship packages all over the world, every day. So you can rest assured that your parcels are in good hands and will reach you safely.

We always try and charge a flat rate – or pack in multiple parcels if cheaper for you – but as I am sure you have you may be aware shipping costs have risen significantly in recent times – especially to Rest of the World and the USA.

The shipping will be added AFTER the Kickstarter, so is not included in your pledge. Shipping cost will be calculated by weight and size of your pledge plus any variables that you may add in the webstore. Where this requires multiple small parcels to fulfil, additional costs may be required. All pledges requiring shipping in a small parcel.

Crooked Dice are not responsible for any additional shipping, handling or custom charges.

Die Kampagne ist bereits finanziert und läuft noch 12 Tage.
