Crooked Dice: New Mythological Ruleset


Crooked Dice: “No Sunday afternoon seems complete without a family action-fantasy movie. Thoughts of a return to the classroom were banished for a couple of hours on the sofa, as legendary heroes clashed with stop motion monsters thanks to larger-than-life producer Sidney Barron and his collaboration with Rough Diamond Studios.” Gibson Matthews, Cult Zone Magazine, May 1992

7th Voyage brings the world of stop motion movies and action-adventure programmes to life as a tabletop miniatures game.


Based upon the myths of Ancient Greece, and the fables and stories of the Arabian Nights, you take command of the heroes or villains of legend. Whether you want to quest for the Golden Fleece or raid the nests of the fabled Rocs, 7th Voyage enables you to play out your favourite on-screen action as the story unfolds.


This stylish retro rulebook contains within its 96 pages:

  • The Rules: Easy to learn D6 based mechanics to get you playing sharpish
  • The Casting Couch: 6 Star, 6 Co-Star and 32 Extra archetypes to customise to create your own cast – from Dashing Rogues to stop motion skeleton warriors!
  • Special Effects: 70 special abilities to let your cast make the most of the action
  • Magic: A brand new, simple to use magic system with 18 spell cards to bring your fantasy films to life
  • Film Guide: Stats for the most famous heroes from 4 all time classic Barron movies
