Kung Fu Family Rules! It’s a statement and the name of the rule set for a miniatures game and a new line of Heroic-Sized miniatures compatible with 25-34 mm and plastic click figures. Left Hand Miniatures will be the sole seller of the miniature line and will also provide access to the KFFR! rule book. Kung Fu Family Rules! is a tabletop tactical miniatures game and role-playing game with elements of martial arts, super heroes, modern pulp-like adventure and horror. It can be played as single scenario combat game or in a story telling cinematic way with melee encounters, depending on the tastes of the game manager and players.Kung Fu Family is designed to focus on hand-to-hand, small-group (4-8 combatants on a side) tactical combat, although rules for using missile weapons and firearms are included. Players have the option to use the pre-rolled Kung Fu Family and enemy characters provided in the game or roll up new characters of their own design.

The completed Kung Fu Family Rules!, game mechanics for Kung Fu Family and tactical level or rules-lite RPG miniatures game will be fully illustrated and include a comic book version of the setting.The first 20 customers who buy the full two sets of miniatures, that is and , will receive a free pre-publish text version of the rules.

Feed back will be welcome and I will support play-testers as much as time and energy allow.

I am very glad we are able to offer some of Black Orc Games’ Hundred Kingdoms miniatures. There are some very fine figures in this line.

My favorite is the ‘Giant Gor’ figure. I use it my Victorian Science Fiction miniatures games. Think “Mighty Joe Young”.

This picture shows “Gor” with a 28mm figure from Foundry’s “Darkest Africa” line.

And yes, I paint most of my figures with inexpensive craft paints. They work just fine for most projects.

Recently I donated some casting work to my son’s Boy Scout Troop. They designed jewelry which I cast and they sold at a local festival to raise funds for summer camp.

Well, one of the scouts designed a monster rather than a piece of jewelry.

I went ahead and cast up 100 of them because he showed a lot of creativity for a twelve year old.

I am selling them for the scouts in the Left Hand Miniatures web store for $2.00 each. 100% of the purchase price will go to Troop 221 in Wyoming, OH.

In the US, everyone seems to think Japanese School uniforms have to be painted Navy & White.

BORING! There is a whole lot more to Japanese school uniforms than those two colors.

Research! That’s the key. But where…?

Don’t worry Bucko! In 2007, Strap-ya crafted 20 different Japanese school girl cell phone straps based on careful research on the trendiest school uniforms in the nation.

How? The uniforms were ranked from 1-20 based on which girls’ schools were the most popular with the boys. Teenage testosterone. Works every time.

Notice the variations in style, from the classic sailor suit to the sleeveless sweater tops.

Full chart of all twenty below:

Alix Elder not only sculpted the original “Space Opera” line but he does a darn nice job as a painter as well. I mention this because he has recently announced that he is restarting his painting service.

Alix’s website is at http://www.aeonminiatures.com

You can find these and our other “Space Cops” under “Left Hand Miniatures > Space Opera”.
