Crooked Dice Apocalypse Kickstarter!

Last week saw the arrival of my Apocalpyse Kickstarter from Crooked Dice. This was the Post Apocalypse themed ruleset I selected the Post Apocalypse core box and a pair of starter sets for my pledge. Choosing the Science Division and Mutant Hill mob sets. It also came with some stretch goals freebies including the Road Warrior, Mean Machine, Pilot and junior.

I really wished I could of saved up some more money as there were so many great figures in the kickstarter I shall just have to wait and pick them up bit by bit.

 The box art and art on some of the profile cards and in the books themselves are to me more stunning than normal for Crooked Dice. I am very much looking forward to the Pulp set coming in May.

The core set contains the full rules including previous errata it comes with 3 books this time as it contains expanded vehicle rules which come in there own book. 130 new Profiles and several new genres are added to the game. Many crossover as you would  expect as many Apocalypse themes vary so wildly.

The Countdown deck is similar but themed in a more Apocalyptic way. Its also revised the wording more clearly as vehicles are expected to play more of a part in this ruleset than in the spy fi version and the cards wouldn't make sense with some of the events that may turn up.

New in the game are Mutation and Gear cards which replace the gadget cards in the normal game. Again depending which genre your cast is chosen from determines which deck you draw cards from sometimes perhaps both!

You get a number of vehicle profiles and a deck of mods cards to customise them with.

Also new in this addition is the inclusion of skid and crash dice and a new template which besides being used for blast effects as in the previous version is used for turning vehicles and determining the types of turns which result in risks the tighter they get.

Onto the casts I chose.

The Science Division comes as a set of 8 though I think this will be split up when it comes to retail.

Top Row left to Right Hazmat Troopers, Hazmat Flame thrower and then Hazmat with a Gieger counter which I can imagine could be used as a regular trooper as a Scientist or technician

Bottom row are two Stars which have a nice Omega Man vibe. A Sentinel and a Hazmat Commander 

The Science Division set has these two fabulous figures as the stars. As you can see they make a good likeness for Neville and Lisa. I can see these being used in regular games of 7TV as well especially Lisa.

The second cast I chose was the Anthill Mob which is themed around Wacky Races but with a Post Apocalyptic Twist to there attire.

 Top Row left is Penelope, then all the rest are the little guys which have a variety of weapons as well as some looking like miniature Warboys and some even have lesions etc on there skin.

Next up the Stretch Goal Freebies Wasteland Wanderer, Pilot, Junior and Mean Machine who I love the figure of.
