New Sci-Fi Paper Terrain from WorldWorksGames
July 22, 2011 by atomsmasher
WorldWorksGames has released new three new sci-fi paper kits, including terrain and a few vehicles.
The Streets of Titan kit includes many different street tiles, railings, balconies, buttresses, ramps, walls and more. You can print out any combination of these parts and build nearly anything you can image. And no painting!
The vehicle kits can make vehicles in many different colors. You can use the vehicles as set dressing on your gaming boards or actually work them into your games using your favorite system's vehicle rules.
All of these PDFs are available on WorldWorksGames' online store for you to print and construct to your heart's content. Have you ever used printed paper terrain on your gaming table?
I’ve used world works games stuff before, for RPG scenery mainly, and its excellent.
Those streets are terrainlinx I believe, which is the paper version of that malifaux scenery you had on turn 8 a couple of weeks ago.
Instead of plastic clips, you have card ones you print out yourself, for the floor tiles you stick the printed out bits to foamboard, so its a really solid base.
It works really well in my experience, although its more involved to build than the house we got in backstage last week, worldworks art is always top notch though.
I can see why some people wouldn’t want to spend the time and effort on something that is ultimately quite fragile for regular gaming, but what I don’t get, is why you don’t see more paper terrain at tournaments. Its cheap, usually pretty quick to build and it would stop the problem 90% of tourneys have of there being only a couple of items for each table. Since some tourneys have a sportsmanship category you could even include turning up early and building a few paper pieces as a bonus to that or even a separate sub tournament to see… Read more »
can it be mounted on foamcore to add stability and strength and longevity?
From what I understand, many people glue the ground tiles and walls of buildings (for papercraft terrain) to foamcore to aid in its sturdiness and usability. With some smaller pieces (like the vehicles) I doubt that would work.
I have some WWG stuff, but prefer the Fat Dragon Games stuff. It’s just a style preference, plus Tom at FDG is a friend. I also use Dave Graffams stuff. I use all my paper terrain for mini wargaming and RPGs as well and they hold up well. I mount the tile to foamcore and since most of the walls are folded over and that make them double thick, they hold up well.
The one thing that always bugs me about any miniature terrain is they never get the scale right. Workshop are horrible at this. Everyone gets the height about right but they never remember to calculate the appropriate interior dimensions. Look at the city fight terrain. If you put together a whole building the interior space is nothing close to what it should be. If miniatures in ” Heroic ” scale are between 28mm and 32mm then if you split the difference you get an average of 30mm. That means that 1 inch equals 5 feet of real world space. So… Read more »
