Howdy,

almost there. Got two shipping confirmation for the rest of the metals from the UK.

50 kg total. That is still not all of it, but once they arrive here tomorrow and Monday, we will be able to send the big box to the US before Christmas. Any time we got left till Christmas is going to be for packing the orders for EU and rest of the world, so that the bulk of them goes out in December. Hopefully all. Apparently, even Monsters will be done, though I will believe it when I see it. At this point, the history of the resins in this project makes me a very very cautious realist.

Thanks for being with us, this is a major learning experience for us - I hope we can put this education into use in the next project.

I want to leave you with a very optimistic image - here's never seen before one of the first releases to come after KS delivery. Canadian & Pacific Northwest friends - we are still not sure which side of the border did this guy come from. All we know is that he knows what grunge is.

Big Foot - all for your pleasure of viewing. Indie Hero, Infiltrator.

Dear Backers,

the last update of this year is a great opportunity to say once again thank you for your support & patience in bringing to life the best possible Pulp City edition!

We would like to wish you a happy and peaceful Holidays season, wherever you are and whatever you are celebrating in this special time.

2015 is going to be great for Pulp City and we hope to reap what we all sow, your support and hard work made this possible.

You've seen the book, so let's highlight the other pieces:

All starters and future value boxes along with some bigger models will come in these fancy box+custom sleeve combos.


Inside of the the box, you will find the models and extra accessories - in case of the starters, it's cards and Reference Sheet.


This edition is all about great accessories, from high quality cards and cheat sheets...


to our (finally!) official custom dice by Q-Workshop.


Most of the cards will be shipped to you in new, safe card boxes.


We aim to create other faction starters to make a retail-friendly line, we are not forgetting about new blisters to host single miniatures.


We hope you like what you see and you will enjoy it even more once it makes it to your doorstep!

Once again, have a great Holiday time and see you in 2015!
Maciej & The Team

Hello Pulp City Fans!

Welcome to the first update of 2015. This will be a big year for Pulp City and we hope you are with us for the whole ride. We have a lot of amazing things to share with you over the next 12 months.

Shipping Update

First lets talk about the elephant in the room. Progress continues to be made regarding shipping. We are still getting final models from our casters. In fact we have received more shipping confirmations just today. Things are beginning to move fast and we are gearing up in earnest to begin getting your orders out to you.

At this time we don't feel comfortable giving you a solid date for delivery. There is just too many factors that we can't control. What we can say is that the first of two shipments to the United States will be leaving Poland next week.

TempleCon

Devon will be attending TempleCon in Rhode Island in February. He will have a booth set up where he will be running demos of Pulp City Supreme Edition. He will also have a small number of Books and Starter Sets for sale to the public. If you are planning to attend and would like to pick up your Kickstarter rewards in person please contact Devon (at) pulpmonsters.com. While all product might not be available you can at least get your copies of the book and starters.

Impudent Mortal

We are working with Walt at Impudent Mortal to design a range of Pulp City accessories. This will include buildings, billboards, and token sets for use in your game. Walt has been a joy to work with and he delivers quality, price, and service. We are very happy to be working with him.

One of the first things we asked him to work on were a set of Pixel Minions for Vector. The Pixels and MegaPixel have been in Pulp City for years but never had any official models. Here are some quick shots of the early prototype Pixels models. We will offer a set of 3 Pixels and a MegaPixel as a set in several different colors of Acrylic.

(Forgive the photos I snapped these with my phone earlier today - Devon)

Anansi and a Pixel


Multiple Colors of Pixel

More news next week.

Thank You All,

Pulp Monsters Crew

Howdy Citizens!

Some great news!

Yesterday we received the last package with metal casts. Kudos to the Griffin Moulds team, who despite their severe loss, stood up to the challenge and wrapped up the rest of the casting in 10 days or so.


What does that mean?

One huge package with books & starters leaves tomorrow on the plane to Devon.

One huge package with everything else follows next week.

Devon will be ready for Templecon as well as should start fullfillment for the US and Canada within 2 weeks. He gets all the stuff pre-packed so it shouldn't take very long to complete.

We at EU HQ will start shipping EU & Rest of the World orders as soon as we deal with Devon's packages. With some lucky winds, some of you will be getting their packages in 2 weeks from today. Karol, as a natural born optimist, said we should be able to clear the warehouse in a week from the start.

Yay!

In the so called meantime,

we are working on two Pulp City new projects, one super secret (but trust me, you want it), second less secret (at least when you will get to browse the book).

Devon is busy coming up with new tokens and accessories for Pulp City with Impudent Mortal (Walt is a super cool to guy to work with, looking forward to his KS).Leon is busy revamping the H&V section of our website and getting it up to date (this will take a while), while I am tending to the new webstore. We really need it. Melvin is waiting to be unleashed on new creative designs.

2015 is looking great compared to the doom & gloom of Nov/Dec!

Take care,

Maciej & The Team

Howdy Citizens,

Just a very brief update today. Things are starting to happen here. The first of many boxes has reached US shores. The first shipment contains Books, Starter Sets, and Game Cards. What this means in short is that things are on track to begin shipping in February. We are so excited to be at this point. The finish is within sight!

Queen of the Forgotten Causes Problems

The problem in dealing with ancient and evil beings like a Gorgon is they are not to be trusted. We believe this is the most likely excuse for our final delay. Using dark and unwholesome magic Stygian managed to convince our casters to not create enough copies of one of her forms. This delay has caused any order containing Stygian to be slightly delayed.

Good new is thanks to heroic efforts the Stygian's evil plan has been foiled. You brave backers will not be waiting any longer.
Shipping Update

Europe and Rest of the World backers all smaller packages (that is non-Collector and NOT containing Stygian) have left our warehouse. Stygian arrived yesterday and the reminder of the packages should clear our warehouse by Monday. Other great news is that collector pledges in EU are delivered by courier service. This should ensure fast and safe delivery of your pledges. All remaining North American product is on the way to Devon as of this Friday. This of course includes the troublesome Queen of the Forgotten. All in all, I think we will complete EU & ROW shipping by Mon. US shipping should begin Phase 1 next week. Starting with the smaller orders first and moving forward as quickly as possible.
Missing Orders

If people don't get their order, they should check in with us. Potential problems include NOT turning in the pledge manager. Not having paid for shipping costs with your initial pledge. We will be happy to work with you to get things taken care of. For EU and ROW orders contact Kickstarter (at) Pulpmonsters.com. For North American orders you can contact Devon (at) Pulpmonsters.com.

Hello Citizens!

Some quick updates:

US & CANADA SHIPPING: Everything got shipped out to the snow-covered New England.

Given the EU experience, Devon should be able to clear all orders within a week or ten days.

EU & THE REST OF THE WORLD: 95% of the warehouse is cleared, we had to manually correct some of the shipping labels with our courier service as their database crashed on some Scandinavian & Slavic fonts but as of now they are out of the way. We will run a crosscheck with the courier service on both ends. Your goods will be delivered by their local partners - it could be DHL, UPS or any other local courier.

If you are in EU or so called Rest of the World and haven't received your order within the next 2 weeks, please contact us. There is still a significant number of unconfirmed or not fully paid orders and we did contact the pledgers at least 3 times individually. Once we are back in touch, we will schedule your delivery in Phase 2, which should happen soon. We would really love to close this KS, do a financial report and move on to the great new things.

SOME PREVIEWS: In the coming weeks, we will spice the shipping updates with new models, mostly Supreme Genesis ones. This week, take a look at the phenomenal Dr. Warlock by Drew Wood (concept by Liam C and sculpting by Jarek Smolka). Drew was a true gentleman and very passionate with his character, he provided us with three stories of Warlock throughout the times and asked us to surprise him with the version we choose!

Shipping Update

Collectors Pledges for EU & ROW

Please don't worry about your Collector pledges yet. Because of the Stygian being received by us and added to every collector late last Thursday, I would expect them to start showing in a couple of days. We are unable to provide tracking numbers for some places in the world, but will be glad to answer your emails.

PS: There will be no shipping confirmation emails from the courier. We use a courier service that outsources various delivery services around the world. As such, they have great prices (therefore we can choose them over snailmail) but don't have an aggregated online platform that handles communication with the backers to whom we ship. Thanks!

The Bunbun Fiasco

So in the spirit of chaos little Grimm Bunbun has managed to escape from most of the EU and ROW orders. So if you are thinking hey shouldn't I have gotten a Bunbun model; the answer is yes. Collectors don't have to worry about that as little BunBun did make it into those orders. We will be shipping out the missing model to you all very soon.

Missing Damaged Items

Please be sure to double check your items once you get them. If there is a problem contact us either through Kickstarter or email Kickstarter(at)pulpmonsters.com. We will be happy to work with you to replace missing or damaged items. If possible we would like to ship these items with the Grimm Bunbuns in a second wave. So please let us know ASAP if you have a problem.

North American Orders

Devon has received his models and is packing and preparing them for shipment. He has a work crew scheduled for this weekend and expects to have all Collectors Pledges in the mail on Monday. Also any smaller orders should go out at that time as well. Once he gets the missing Grimm Bunbuns those will be added to all remaining pledges that require them.

Collector's Pledge

For those that haven't seen a Collector's Pledge here it is. Weighing in at almost 10 Lbs. or 4.5 Kilograms this is a massive pile of metal and resin.


Collector's Pledge in all it's glory


Just the cards

Miniature Exchange

Final thought for this week is a fan run community project the Miniature Exchange. Fans on our Facebook and Forum pages are setting up a Miniature Exchange. Where you paint a model and send it to a fellow community member and in exchange some one else will send you a painted model.


These are a lot of fun and are a great way to share, inspire, and promote the game. If you are interested in getting involved sign up on our forums here: http://forum.pulp-city.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2980

If you are not a member of the forums this is a great time to join.

Supreme Genesis: Bramble

Welcome to another Thursday Update. This week we wanted to show off another amazing Supreme Genesis creation. This is Bramble, she is a hard hitting archer who will join Father Oak and Acorn as the third member of Settler's Green Faction.

Shipping Update

If you are waiting for your order and are concerned about it, please double check to see if you have completed your Pledge Manager and made any payments that were due. Only this week we have had a couple of cases of backer who didn't complete their Manager, or make Paypal payments, inquire about their orders. Thanks! This will make it much easier on everybody (also, if this is the case you most likely received at least 3 prompts from us in 2014)

US order are shipping out now. It will probably take a few weeks to get everything out the door properly.

As always contacts about any missing or broken pieces and we will be happy to make sure you are taken care of.
Book Warping

Wanted to take a moment to explain that your copy of the rule book is probably going to warp. This is caused by being packed and shipped via airmail. The difference in humidity will cause the paper and cardboard cover to warp. Place your book under some heavy weight for a few days and you'll find it returns to it's proper shape. Again this is normal and unavoidable. So please don't panic. If your book is damaged in any other way please contact us and we will see that you are taken care of properly.

Also, Collector's pledges have all been shipping within the US. I had a great hour or so last night making piles of metal and resin on my kitchen table until Mrs. Drazz made me clean up.

Yeah, some of us have to actually work when we're pretending to work while at work.

That's my girl! Hope you guys like her!

Pics from the rulebook coming. There's quite a few new Supremes in the book (pics and background, no rules) that have not been released yet.

Update #126 from Pulp City: Supreme Edition
Mar 20 2015


3 SG backer creations!

We are sorry for the delay in the weekly update, but a lot of things have been happening with Pulp Monsters as we continue with Kickstarter fulfillment, and work on the new web-store. The new web-store will have a fresher appearance and will have all the necessary safeguards for transactions. Once fulfilment is complete, then we can look to stock the new items in-store which will be another exciting development for us.


We have been able to read some very positive things as backers have begun to receive their pledge rewards which is great; those positive stories help us and hopefully will help the Pulp City brand grow, which in turn will allow us to do more with the game – so feel free to share those good stories guys! It has been fantastic especially to see the first painted minis that are as a result of the Kickstarter.

We are aware that some backers are still awaiting their rewards, and shipments continue to go out. If you have not yet received your reward(s) and want an update, please email us; it is better for us, and therefore you as we try and resolve any issues, than trying to round up messages via social media of Kickstarter message system. The contact email is: kickstarter (at) pulpmonsters dot com

Finally, we are pleased to show off Rath (picture above, along with Dr. Warlock and Bramble), another of our Supreme Genesis backer’s concepts, a pretty bad-ass Supreme to say the least! Card files will very soon to the Supreme Genesis backers before the shortly head off for printing.

Thanks, Leon and the Pulp Monsters team.

Howdy Citizens,

First, have a great time celebrating Easter, return of the spring and sun or anything else that makes you happier in your life!

A couple of quick updates:

European HQ: We shipped everything. We are gathering your feedback and will ship out all missing items.

US HQ: Still in progress. Devon is working hard. We are almost there, though there is still a fair amount of packages.

Missing & Damaged parts: We will have a 1 month window from the last package to report any missing or damaged items. So please make sure you report them to us. After that time, we need to close the project's budget and further corrections won't be available.

What next: If you are worried about your package, please start with checking whether you have no unresponded correspondence from us. There is still a fair amount of backers that had not a/ sent their reports b/ paid for ordered extras.

We will make a one more attempt to get back to each one of you. If we don't get a response, there are two options:

- If you have your pledge and shipping covered, but no extra choices made, we will ship you the most basic pledge, no extras, to the address registered with KS.

- if you have uncovered bills, we will leave 2-month period of grace. If we won't hear from you, we will consider this a done deal. Again, from the project management perspective, we need to be realistic.


And to soften the message, here's some bugs for the spring!
