Crooked Dice Game Design Studio
Long Business Description

Crooked Dice specialise in wargames rules and miniatures inspired by the many and varied iconic worlds of 60s-70s Cult TV.

Crooked Dice is me, Karl Perrotton – the lovechild of David Baddiel and an excitable control freak. A graphic designer by trade and a geek by birth, an unhealthy interest in old sci-fi TV and miniature gaming seemed a frankly ludicrous combination for setting up Crooked Dice.

Crooked Dice is small but perfectly formed. It’s a one man operation – so I write, design and produce all the rules, spec the miniatures, run the webstore, answer the emails and forum posts and do all the packing and shipping. Our output is small and perfectly formed – running the creative end from our secret underground bunker.

Our pewter casting is thanks to the miracle workers at Griffin Moulds (Jane, Rob and Lisa), Andy at Ainsty Castings and Martyn at MDP for production of our lovely toys.

Special thanks must go to the amazing sculptors who have brought the 7TV world to life: Jo Brumby, Martin Buck, Mark Evans, George Fairlamb, Shane Hoyle, Andrew Maclachlan, Andrew May, Steve McGuire, Neil Mckenzie, Ian Mountain, Andrew Rae, Greg Storey, Bill Thornhill, Ernst Veingart and Kev White.

For dazzling brushwork, we need to thank: Jon Atter, Simon Bradley, Martin Buck, Kev Dallimore, Mark Dixon, Matt Slade and Andrew Taylor.

Long Business Description


Ground Zero Games (GZG) is owned and run by Jon Tuffley, as Proprietor (Sole Trader). It is a one-man business, which means I get to do almost everything! Website administration (the technical stuff) is handled by Paul Owen of Binary Networks Ltd. At shows, I may have one or more volunteer helpers with me, but they are not GZG employees - so please be patient and polite with them, any complaints should be directed to me!


I have been running GZG since 1985, and it has been a full-time business for me since 1991; starting with a few resin-cast 15mm vehicles, the company and its ranges have grown and changed a lot over the years - now we produce exclusively in metal, having recently sold off the last of our resin model ranges. The one thing that has not changed is that I still produce everything (with a few minor exceptions like decals and dice) IN-HOUSE - design, mould making, casting production and packing and dispatch are all handled in one place.


GZG trades predominantly by mail order, shipping goods to customers in all parts of the world - we do not sell through distributors or retailers, preferring to deal directly with our customers. The one exception to this is that certain of our product lines are available in licence-produced form from Eureka Miniatures in Australia, for sale within the Australasian market. VAT is deducted from our retail prices for orders being shipped to countries outside the EU - the online store will show VAT-exclusive prices for you if you select that option.


We also attend a number of the major wargame shows in the UK each year, usually including SALUTE (Excel, London), TRIPLES (Sheffield), GAMES EXPO (Birmingham), COLOURS (Newbury), SELWG (Crystal Palace, London), FIASCO (Leeds), WARFARE (Reading) and possibly one or two others. For further information on show dates etc, please see our news announcements.

We are based near Cambridge in the UK


We are based near Cambridge in the UK, but we are happy to supply every corner of the World. If you are a store owner, and you would like to stock our miniatures, please get in touch. Customers will always, however, find a quick and efficient service buying our products through our webstore. Or by visiting our stand at occasional wargames shows and gaming conventions in the UK and Europe. And if you’re in the area, you’d be very welcome to drop in to our office/workshop for a chat.


Our MiniaturesOur figures, sculpted in a variety of media. Moulded and cast in pewter or resin, and packaged in attractive blister packs and boxes. We describe our miniatures as 28mm, meaning that an average-sized human would stand at around 28mm tall. However, not many of our figures average-sized humans! For monsters, we use a scale of 5mm on the model to represent 1 foot of height. So a 10 foot tall Ogre would represented by a 50mm tall miniature. Most figures modelled with ‘slotta-tabs’ and supplied with appropriate plastic bases.


If you have any suggestions about miniatures that you would like to see us produce in the future, please contact us. Where you can also find up to date information about new releases and future plans.
