Ausplosions Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Po Boys Terrain is happy to announce its first "Terrain Off Contest." To celebrate the new retail website and terrain devoted forums, all contributors (anyone that has placed a order before then) will be given forum rank of "Founder." Starting April 5th to May 1st, any founder can upload up to 5 pics of a finished table using PB western terrain. May 2nd to 6th any Founder (and only Founders) will be allowed one vote for table they would most like to game on. Reward will be a complete set of Victorian terrain (enough for two separate 4x4 tables) and 2 cobblestone latex mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausplosions Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Notes on the Terrain Off Contest Few questions have been asked... 1.) any Founder is eligible to win no matter physical location. If winner is a international member, PB terrain will cover the shipping fee. 2.) a Founder IS anyone that contributed during the Indiegogo campaign and the open window during January (including anyone the purchases the one Town Set that is currently available to buy). In short.. if you already have a terrain order.. your a Founder. 3.) scratch built terrain pieces is encouraged and competitors pieces are welcomed, only requirements are PB buildings are used and are prominent (a judgment call will be made if any question whether the buildings are prominent but I don't foresee a issue.) 4.) that should cover it, any more questions feel free to ask in public so everyone can benefit from the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausplosions Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Po Boys Terrain Roadmap April 15th: Victorian Sets, latex player mats, and already debuted Western Set become available for retail purchase. May 15th: Mining Sets and few scattered "Swamp" buildings become available. June will see a Steampunk style airship, pylons.. landing towers.. aircars inspired by Malifaux fiction become available. Come July Po Boys main focus will be on more Victorian/Gothic builds with a strong Steampunkish flavor to fill a under served niche. I am also looking into some suggestion to cater to a couple upcoming game releases (modern, zombie, superhero genre) as well as making terrain available in different scales. It is too far down the pipeline to give any information. Just letting everyone know direction the business will be taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems overly ambitious for such a small company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_hazard Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Any chance of an update on the Indiegogo campaign page. There are people who don't use Faceache and don't know to look here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausplosions Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Anybody heard from this guy? He isn't contacting anyone involved and people need information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nope. I think the 45 days and the whole packing date's have passed already but nothing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausplosions Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nope. I think the 45 days and the whole packing date's have passed already but nothing.. Yeah. I was talking to another backer last week who had also tried to contact him, with no result. Worried we may have funded a holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpobjects Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I opened up a dispute with paypal for the charges. We will see if old Edward Mize surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Vening Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I sincerely hope not. My track record with crowdsourcing has left a bitter taste. Robotech - Problematic, at best, want a refund. Creative Gamescapes - Contacted their home state Fraud squad, awaiting response. Kaosball - Late, and update unfriendly, but not bad. If this thing falls over too, it'll only be Mantic's contributions that have given me any happy happy joy joys (minor issues pale in comparison to the good).

theJudge Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 The lack of communication is a little concerning if I'm honest. However, I always considered this a complete punt that would either pay off hugely or never materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjahamster Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah. I was talking to another backer last week who had also tried to contact him, with no result. Worried we may have funded a holiday. If it was to fund a holiday, it seems overly complicated, why mention everything about terrain competitions and the like. Although I guess I'm just an optimist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malal Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 This was posted on FB about an hour ago "Greetings, I have just received access to the site so do apologize for not posting sooner. It is understandable people are looking for information and it is coming. Please stay calm and I will post an update tomorrow on Damian and Po Boys Terrain. Supporters have not been forgotten.

St. Murphy Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 It's only been 3 weeks since the last post on the FB page. In reality, that's not that long for a project that involves international manufacturing and shipping. The sky is not falling. No need to freak out because you don't have your toys yet. Have some patience and cut the man some slack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnnus Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 If there's an update on FB, could someone post it here please? I'm not on FB but I do want to know what's going on with my backing of Po Boys. As long as they keep reaching out, that's probably good... Being late is almost de rigeur for Kickstarter... Heck, one of the other terrain projects I've backed is over a year late in delivering, but they keep on (slowly) plugging away at filling their pledges.

Malal Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 For those that don't have FBAs promised-I am about to give more personal information than Damian would approve. I consider the information owed to supporters. You should be aware of the full situation so that have a more clear understanding.On the 13th of March Damian was hospitalized for the return of a medical issue previously considered in remission. Today he had surgery to remove part of his stomach and some surrounding lymph nodes. Reason I chose to wait an extra day to update was to see how the surgery went incase my response would differ. I fully understand that health issues do not effect you or make having to wait for product any easier to accept. Only thing I can ask for is some understanding and patience. The project is not dead and packaging/shipment will resume as soon as recovery allows. While I am not the one to make the decision; I personally doubt Po Boys Terrain will continue pass pledge fulfillment. It would be unlikely that health would allow the future plans to materialize. It is a shame because this venture was to be his legacy to be remembered by. More updates will be made when more information is available.
