I think they decided to mail to the edges first. Mine showed up this week, too, in spite of my mail carrier trying to hide it from me.

Latest update, with a spoiler preview of a model not in the KS:

Shipping Update
With the remaining orders due to hit Devon no later than Monday next week we anticipate all USA orders should be finished shipping by next Friday the 17th. Canadian orders will follow directly after and are expected to finish shipping by the end of April.

Model Assembly Note
Many folks are concerned they are missing Gravito Grimm’s hand. The hand is attached to the tab at the bottom of the model. So please double check that before letting us know it is missing.

PDF Rules
A number of folks did not download their copy of the free PDF rules and the time limit has expired to do so. If you didn’t get your copy of the PDF rules please send us a message on Kickstarter that includes your current email and we will be happy to get you another copy.

Rock Hard
What comes next...
What comes next...
So what’s bigger and meaner than Stone Hawk and Grimmrock put together? What towering pile of muscle is this on the horizon? Stay tuned…

EXTRA, EXTRA - READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Update #130

Apr 16 2015
Progress Thursdays #56

While 56 is not the sexiest number out there, it marks a very important update.

This is our last Progress Thursday. Devon ships his last US orders this week and all Canadian next week.

And we are done! Sort of.

Next week we start shipping out replacements and missing bits. That should go fast as there is not that many cases reported.

We are closing up the Supreme Genesis cards and 4 out of 5 models are sculpted and waiting to be cast. 5th is close to the finish line as well.

We still have some backers missing in action. Whenever we see a social media update and somebody says they are still waiting for their order, we run a cross-check and often find out that some of the orders are not locked in (underpaid etc.). Hopefully we will get you all sorted out fast so you can enjoy the game.

Final questions: Was it worth it? Absolutely yes. Without you, it would take us years to push the game forward in that way. Was it easy? Absolutely no. We've learnt a lot and between our dayjobs managed to get some schooling in project management . Are we millionaires now? Rather not, in fact, I am putting together a document with our ups and downs and financial breakdown. It might hold some interest for some of you.

What's next? Webstore is almost there, it will come with a Rewards/Loyalty system, vouchers and other cool stuff. Retail - we are building up a retail-friendly short list of products.

Are we thinking about new Kickstarters? Yes. Actually two of them. Next one will be an easy project to manage as we have a locked in number of miniatures, profiles that are already being playtested and no rulebooks and 150 cards to re-work

You might have seen the concepts for Supreme Alliance floating around.

(that is not the entire team btw, we have some surprises for you)

The sketches were amazing but they produced even more amazing models. I can't wait to share them with you. You realize that the mightiest heroes in the history of Pulp City need enemies? I will keep you in the dark for a while. Keep your eyes peeled.

This is the last Progress Thursday but not the last update in this KS. Enjoy the game and once again, thank you for being with us on this amazing ride!

Maciej, Devon, Leon & Melvin

Really looking forward to:

1) Receiving my pledge
2) Finalizing the mini deal with Drazz (

)
3) Getting to see (and buy!) the Supreme Alliance team!

Good job on #3 and the impending Avengers 2 movie!

**Alpharius**

Got my pledge yesterday!

As previously noted, hunt around for all the necessary bits before thinking they're missing - many were in bags nowhere near their main miniatures...

I was only missing a few things - Tritonius and his large base, and 3 small bases.

Speaking of bases - no they sell all those cool base inserts/toppers separately somewhere?

**Alpharius**

Anyone have any luck with receiving replacements for missing/damaged stuff yet?

My pledge arrived missing a miniature and some bases, so I contacted them about it on April 18.

I heard back from them on April 20:

Hi

Today I start packing missing items.

Thanks
Karol

I haven't received anything yet, so I'm just curious if anyone has?

thanks!

**drazz**

OK, so the new Pulp City Kickstarter is starting in two days! The anticipated (totally not-Avengers) Supreme Alliance and their foes, Red Republik, are the only models being offered, but thy are close to all being sculpted already.

Starts Oct 15.

A few pics to prepare you.

**adlard.matthew**

Loving the look of this, also pledged for a https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1621774283/battle-systemstm-urban-apocalypse-terrain pack to play this with

**Alpharius**

Oh wow....

and, of course, oh no!

I just spent more than I should on the latest Mierce Darklands Kickstarter!

Love PULP CITY though, and love the look of these two teams!

**Barzam**

Oooh. Wacky Soviets! I think I need some of those. I may need that American robot guy, too.

**MLaw**

Yeah.. ugh. So broke right now :(

I was going to back their other KS but with the prices and having not really heard much about the system I held back. If they had a PM though I likely would've got a starter.

Is it small skirmish sized warbands like Clix and BMG? Is it a tabletop RPG or just a battle type game? Is there a place with a good breakdown on what to expect?

The designs and sculpts seem good, do the casts turn out well usually?

Alpharius - If you're still looking for inserts for those types of bases I think Back2Baseix has some but the site is down for maintenance at the moment so I can't confirm.
In the meantime, Fenris games has base toppers that should fill what you were looking for (if you're still looking). http://fenrisgames.com/shop?/shop.html#!/Base-toppers/c/2938046/offset=0&sort=nameAsc

**Alpharius**

I forgot that I was still looking for those - so thanks for the heads up!

MOAR pics and news!

A few more:

I was enjoying the sculpts but that last one seems like they took the same model and did a head and maybe weapon swap. Both weapons look like lasguns too so scratching my head a bit there. It wouldn't have been so bad if there hadn't been a tactical crate on both versions.

**Alpharius**

I think that's on purpose though - maybe clones of each other?

Split personality?

Alternate dimension?

I kind of figured it was something like that, and I get that it makes more sense economically for a double agent or evil twin or whatever to be done that way. I just feel like it might've been more fun to have it not be so obvious so when they figure it out there's kind of a lightbulb moment, like "oh.. those guys' look similar" "wait.. is that the same guy???". I imagine his bio will spell it out though so maybe it would've been too obvious to pull a trick like that.

**drazz**

About three mores hours til launch. Twelve noon for the U.S. east Coast.

**Vain**

Between the names of "Trojan" and "Turncoat" I am getting the overwhelming vibe it is a double agent style character who wears a mask when fighting for one side and not the other.

**MLaw**

They previewed $175 starter for two factions. If that's the buy-in for 2-player I'm going to end up skipping this one too :(

**Alpharius**

That's the buy in for those two teams.

You can certainly play with a lot few models than that too!

**drazz**

Here's the official page for the Kickstarter. Nearly funded after 30 minutes.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/472543693/pulp-city-cold-war?ref=discovery

You could easily play a two-player game using ONE of the teams offered. It looks like there's 16 points for RR and 17 for SA; an 8 point game is fairly standard and advisable for new players.

Also, with the potential (likely) free stretch goals added eventually, it becomes a bit more inviting.

This KS is probably not as cost-efficient as a gamer as their first. But they were certainly overwhelmed by the backing they saw last time.

(Also, editing title and first page)

**Alpharius**

It is 100% funded and then some now!

**MLaw**

I'll throw in a placeholder pledge for updates but yowzers, I will do some research and try to find some reviews for this system. That's a big commitment for toe-dipping.
EDIT: Oh! $45 rule bundle seems reasonable.. I can bring my own minis and save a bit that way

Captain America and Winter Soldier

**Alpharius**

That would work better if the two miniatures in questions weren't nearly identical!

But yeah, that seems like what they were going for!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Venom the psychotic bad guy,

and Venom in his own mini series (still pretty psychotic but trying to be the good guy)

Pulp City needs your inspiration! We have a Red Republik Supreme and we need you to name him! The mysterious Supreme is a science prisoner given Supreme enhancements by Professor Hammer and SPUTNIK. Now he battles under duress alongside the Soviet Supremes!

Post a name for this Supreme in the comments to this update, and on October 18th we will pick the best as a winner. The winner will get this Supreme added to their pledge for free and have the honor of knowing they helped the Pulp Monsters crew name one member of this fearsome new Team!

**ThaneCawdor**

Woo hoo i just got my the new cards.. .well except the SG cards, Red Republic & Supreme Alliance.

Still Androida & Twilight Leveled up (Androida now brings an extra leadership card), Sister Bedlam is now nonliving (which cramps Pain Link, though she can shunt a killing blow on herself to friendlies), Six Feet Under can gain a fatigue to be immune to displacement.. and i cant find my old Gwynherfar for comparison, though the No "Broken Sword Team" is new

**Alpharius**

It's been a while, so I forget...new cards?

What's the deal there?

**ThaneCawdor**

Update #22 showed off a poor quality photo of the new cards they had ordered as part of Cold War.

While most were the expected ones for SA RR & the SG models, there were updated versions of the ones i named showing as well.

Looking at it again its possible Dr Warlock & Anteas are part of the broken sword faction.. but it is a low res picture and im not betting on it.

**Alpharius**

I picked up a bunch of Pulp City minis during the last KS, and I really need to dive into this game now...

Will there be new cards for everyone?
