Role Playing games have been a popular pastime for many since the 1980's and lately, popularity has boomed. A Thunderbirds rpg is now available, allowing players to take control of their favourite character and save the world. Any fan games will enjoy playing as a favourite fantasy character and now Crooked Dice have made it even easier to do so, with a game system based on Cult TV shows. A simple rule set allows teams to be made up of any set of characters, selected from your favourite series, such as Blakes 7, Dr Who, Life on Mars, Department S any combination of classic tv tropes. To bring a figural dimension to the game, they have produced a series of white metal figurines which 'reflect' the classic series very closely, without actually infringing copyright! The technically accurate figures just need a lick of paint and you can build your own army of Spectrum agents, Space 1999 astronauts or evil genius organisations complete with henchmen.
Check out the fabulous range here and see how many classic characters you recognise!

Fab figs Bill. I love the gritty weathered look and the big rigger boots they all wear. I had a few White Dwarf mags when RPG all kicked off in the early 80's, TSR and all that. Alas, the ravages of time got them.
