Greetings...
I must admit that it has only been recently that I have ventured into Paper or Cardstock Terrain. I don't do any RPG Games and the Majority of my Gaming is Miniature Games like Chronopia, Warmachine etc...
I always passed off Cardstock Terrain as "Cheap Looking Crap" that I wouldn't bother putting on my gaming table.
But the Worldwork Stuff is AMAZING... I picked up the Village Set and was impressed at how great it looked.
Now I have picked up Most of the Building Sets and even the Dungeons and Cavern Sets... I've already planned a Chronopia Scenario just so I can use those.
When I read about Minature Gamers talking about Paper Terrain being Lousy Pieces of Crap... I send them here and that quiets them down pretty fast
Excellent Stuff Guys - I can hardly wait for your next release

Welcome to the forum Junk_Runner and thank you for supporting WorldWorks! You bring up a good point and this stigma is something that I’ve had to battle with since starting this business. When you mention the words “cardstock or paper” terrain people tend to discount it as crap sight unseen. They really don’t understand that this stuff can and does surpass many plaster kits out there and in many cases looks even better than those alternatives. There is a level of detail that you can achieve with cardstock models graphically that you just can’t touch with a precast model set.
The next thing nay-sayers usually say is that cardstock models are fragile and to easy to bump around. I take issue with both of these statements. I have model sets that are well over a year old and they look as good as the day I printed them. And as far as stability goes, with a few quick, common sense steps you can eliminate the whole "bumping" issue with ease.
Anyways, I am grateful you found us and I hope there are more “Junk_Runner’s” out there to be converted
Welcome aboard Junk_Runner! I remember becoming a cardstock convert a few years back with Microtactix. Then Worldworks came along. I use the stuff for RPG's and wargaming, not to mention its a lot of fun to assemble and set up. I used to build my own scenery but WW looks so damn good and takes a fraction of the time and money. The only thing I buy for scenery these days is trees. Welcome to the land of the cardstock converts. :)
My thought process is actually the reverse of yours: my RPG groups have fallen by the wayside of late, so I'm thinking of taking up some minatures games just so I can get more use out of my WorldWorks stuff.

Welcome Junk_Runner. I agree that this stuff is great. Sadly though I have a new schedule. I am working overnights and am no longer able to play with my current group of RPGer's. So I build this stuff for me, as a hobby. I am thinking of buying a "Good" digital camera (at least 5 megapixels) and making it a full blown hobby. Taking pictures of what I create, so I can post them here. I keep meaning to, but I just lose motivation when I realize I have to develop film to see if it's a good picture. So come the first week of Feb. You may see a few pictures up with with what I have done....We'll see, cause I also need a new Monitor and hard drive ..... But we'll see.
Geez! I can ramble.. Anyways..... Welcome Junk_Runner
Mr. Grimm
P.S. Anyone know of a good, "CHEAP" 5 megapixel (at least) Digital camera? I know it's too much to ask, but am looking for a SLR version if possible.
This might help...I used a 3.2 mp camera and got amazing results, I used it for all the ArenaWorks promos, even downsampled for the web they look purty good. It's a Kodak Easyshare, with a decent macro function for stuff closer than 70 cm. I had a ball shooting the promo pics with it. My lighting setup was two industrial grade halogen spots bouncing off a large [5x8 ft] white card. The whole room was painted black and dark blue so that helped too. Not bad results for a makeshift studio.
My own digital camera is a craptacular 1 mp HP. I used it to shoot the AW instructions and hoo boy do they look dismal.

I have been working on the Arena Set... And and so far it has been a joy to put together.... I did the Village Set, but that was more like putting together a building here and there as I need. This took a bit more planning on how I wanted to look.
I am cheating abit, since I plan on using it as an abandoned Fort / Ruin... That will be filled with Chronopia Undead for one of our games, and a Last Stand for the Dwarves against the Evil Devout in another... The idea of archers firing from the Terrace Windows etc... was to go to pass up.

Hey Junk_Runner, I'm curious, where did you hear about Worldworks? I ask because I use www.theminiaturespage.com all the time and there are several of us over there that espouse the virtues of cardstock terrain whenever we get the chance - WWG are of course always at the forefront of any such recommendations :)
It would be somewhat gratifying to know all those comments hadn't been entirely in vain....

I actually found out about World Works from a Yahoo Group - Two Hour Wargames Group. But I have seen you mentioning World Works Products on TMP a few times.
I think there are quite a few TMP'ers that pick up World Works stuff, but you know those 'Historical Types' it can be hard to drag them out of the closet and have them admit they dabble in Fantasy and Sci Fi ;)
