Never heard of them, which doesn't bode well.

We know Tom but I've not heard from him in some time, so I'll pop him an email and see if he's still in business.  He's on the Forum as Eldamarelf as well.

I got a reply from Tom last night just to say that he's had some website issues over the past few months, plus a new addition to the family to keep him busy, but he's hoping to be back up and running soon.

If anyone spots when this happens before I do, a "heads up" on this thread would be appreciated.

On that theme, those who are into 6mm sci-fi may be interested to hear that Plasmablast's website says they expect to be up and running again soon. Apparently there some sort of Kickstarter involved - I haven't investigated the detail since I only spotted the post this afternoon.

The game is Polyversal though looking for $80000 is a bit optimistic I think

Kickstarter, bah humbug.


I never preordered something and never will. I just hate buying something i can't see before i pay for it. It also takes too much time away from regular service.

Look at mantic, they do one kickstarter after another, and they have so mucjh issues and backorders because they try to do everything at once. I ordered my christmass present on 28/11 last year, still haven't got it. Sent a few mails, the last one i got back said 'don't mail back, we are busy packing your order' that was 2 weeks ago.

All i see on their site is blogposts about another bloody kickstarter while they have 2 running already (and still getting things straigth from the dungeon saga KS)

I ordered some 10mm Vietnam scenics from Tom a few months ago. Very nice stuff and a great chap to deal with.
