Another great set by David Okum!
These ogres are big, clumsy and scary... in Okum's peculiar style of course!
They are in different sets of colors, as standard for this product line, with an interesting twist: this time it is possible adding tattoos (Maori style) to the various figs.
As always there is an useful set of bonus characters (a shaman/mage, two women and some nasty kid).
Note that the size of these figs are proportional to other ones. I haven't yet printed them, but they seem 1.50 times a human (which is ok for me).

In this set David Okum gives us 13 minis, 7 goblins and 6 hobgoblins in total in a wonderful array of 6 colors (so, yes, you can print up to 78 different figs) PLUS an awesome bonus layer with six extra characters (three goblins and three hobgoblins) covering specialist roles (as wizards, leaders, youngsters and so on) PLUS 2 big, green trolls!
The figs have the usual top-notch quality of Okum Arts. Really really good! I must devise ASAP a scenario to use them...

I have no child, yet (but I am in waiting), but I bought this game because I like simple, old school games.
I must say I amnot disappointed.
Hero Kids is an easy game, with good design ideas, a flexible resolution system and an excellent presentation (both the rules than the characters' sheet). The author put a great focus that you are going to play with young gamers, some of them aren't yet literate, so the game uses symbols and pics in places where other games use plain text (for example, for the stats, gear and so on). The game also includes a number of tactile elements as cardboard heroes, tiles for dungeons and so on.
As a parent, I would be worried about violence (after all heroes are bashing monsters in dungeons), but it is always on a cartoonish level: no gore, no blood, and absolutely no death. Monsters and heroes alike, when they reach 0 HP are simply "knocked out" and can be revived using potions, spells and rest.
On a pure-gamer perspective, I think this game could also be played from adults (the complexity level is more or less equal to Heroquest), and the fact that the heroes ARE actually kids, can give a different feeling to games (something like GRIMM, but more easy).
The only missing thing I see in this book is an advancement system: heroes don't grow in experience (but they can find extra gear), and in my experience, in a similar type of game it is essential: even very young gamers like their characters becoming bigger and stronger. It hasn't to be something ground shaking, even the chance to reroll a dice, to acquire a second special ability or to increase a stat is enough.
Overall a great game and a work of love, for rpgs and children.

It seems very interesting. Excellent presentation too. I'll like to see in future info about character creation.

Supercool set, as always! Nice selection of poses, too! In particular I like the second mini (the pistol girl).
And don't forget the bonus figs!

A great set of adventurers! It would be nice to have different coloring options.

Very nice set!
My only complaint (a very minor one), I had liked more variety in weapons (maybe a figure with a melee weapon, as a sword).

A truly awesome set of maps!
Probably the next year I'll start a 50 Fathoms campaign, and this map is very useful and very well crafted.
Recommended for every pirate based game.

Great comic as always. This anthology, with many different authors taking their time with the little mouses is excellent. Greatly recommended.

Another really good cardboard set from Okum!
The figures are very good, well defined, and the bonus flats really useful! You always dreamed mounted elven troops? Well, you'll find them.
Despite being made in the trademark Okum style, the figures are a little less cartoonish, and I think many customers will appreciate this thing.
A very nice addition to any gaming table, in particular I suggest them to Hellfrost's players (the elves have a definite Taiga Elves feel for me).

A very good and professional set of card minis!
Personally I'll use them for my Hellfrost games, but they are perfect for every type of Viking themed game. As said in other reviews, the layer options to have different items/shields/color scheme is awesome...
Only a request/suggestment: could be possible to handle each fgure as a separate layer group? So I can customize the whole set printing it only once.

An EXCELLENT set of free cardboards miniatures: this small publisher seriously risks to be the best professional cardboard minis producer of these times!
The quality is exceptional, as always in the Okum Arts Games products, 10 characters are a lot for a free product (and they cover very different, iconic, character types), and the multilayer options are incredibly useful!
I cannot wait to see other stuff!

A very nice game you can play practically everywhere.
The quest is well done, and the mechanism of the codewords good.
I'll love to see a personalized loot table for every adventure: finding a cool particular item can drive me to play one quest instead than another one.
For the price, it deserves a solid 5/5.

A very nice little idea!
You have the feel of the old choose-your-adventure game books with some good dungeon delving.
The product is well written, the layout is professional, and the art, well... it is surely worth what you are paying for it.
If I can add some suggestion for improvement:
1)Some a little more complex entry in the adventure. You can add a mini-gamebook in each of them (something like entry 12A, 12B, 12C) even 3-4 options for "room" of the adventure will be nice.
2)Dynamic dice. These products beg to be played directly on the computer/e-reader and so on. So, why not adding a random number generator (a la Destiny Table of Lone Wolf) somewhere, as in the top or lower header?
3)Dynamic character sheet. I am not a pdf pro, but I know the existence of layers. Why not adding a layer, with a form, where you can place an editable character sheet? Then, with a button on the page, you can show/hide it, keeping your character sheet accessible in any part of the document. It would be great!
