Will you guys be sending out an update on previous KS campaigns once it’s launched? I did not back Brave New Worlds (not our gig) but I’m still printing my way through Goblin Grotto and all the other files I picked up.
Hagglethorn, and the promise of STL files, is the entire reason we got into 3D printing.

Here you go guys, straight from ttg.
We are Shipping*
28 days ago – Sun, Dec 27, 2020 at 11:38:38 AM
We are so happy to say that all our product has now left China and on the way to fulfillment centers for backers in the USA, Canada, UK, EU, Asia, and New Zealand. *The only remaining region that is yet to leave China is our Australia shipment and which we should have a date for very soon. The Australian shipping route is the shortest of all of them but has been problematic to secure a space.Some of these shipments did leave China almost two weeks ago but we held off making the news public until we had more info on Australia but have decided to go ahead with the current info. We were apprehensive about announcing anything too early due to situations changing on us in the past.
When shipments do arrive in each country, there will be a certain amount of time for customs and clearances to occur and that is very hard to estimate at this time, however, the estimated arrival dates for the shipments arriving in each region are as follows. Please know that this is just an estimate and the shipping industry is still in quite a state of flux.
USA/Canada – 11th and 20th Jan, UK – 12th Jan, EU – 24th Jan, NZ – 16th Jan, AUS – TBC.

Heres the latest update. Now if we could just get Printablescenery’s input………
Tabletop Troubadour GamesCreatorFebruary 13, 2021
Hello backers, this is just a quick update for our backers in the USA and Canada.We have been informed that our USA and Canadian backers are now receiving confirmation emails from our fulfilment company, QML. This is of course very exciting for all, however soon after these emails were sent, it was realised they used an older version of the address database. Please double-check the address when you are asked to verify. We expect that QML will likely do an additional round of e-mail checks just to be certain.
Thanks again everyone, and if you have not received an email and you are based in the USA, please DM us and we can follow up on any concerns or confirmations for you.
For all our backers and late pledges, we strongly encourage you all to double-check the address info when you receive verification emails from fulfilment companies.
Thanks everyone,
The TTG Team

Gotta be honest, at this point, I don’t care anymore. Between your existing product lines, Terrain Tinker and other competing STLs….. I am more than good for terrain. I no longer want these and am not interested. Plus, let’s be honest…. we all know the prices are going to be high for these. There’s no way Trobadour will let them go for cheap.

They fit an interesting, High fantasy niche that isn’t well represented in the market, so we are quite excited to see what we can do with them. We are currently looking at the initial scans to see where we can improve upon the files so haven’t discussed cost yet, we will aim to hold them to a decent price though.

Holding the STLs until the physical models are delivered seems like a bad call to me. The original backers paid for physical terrain, in some cases painted ready for the tabletop, not for a shot at the printing hobby. This is not like traditional media such as a board game or a novel. The products are dramatically different. They could have contracted one person to prep the STLs, given them to the Kickstarter backers for free as a bonus, and made loads on the digital sales in the interim.
As it stands I think what @dreadknot69 said above is accurate and will ultimately hurt sales. When the Kickstarter launched there were not as many options for modular printable buildings. There has just been so much development in the industry in the last 2.5 years; multiple programs have been developed to allow users to create their own terrain and we are still waiting on our first shot to begin weeklong print projects.
I was definitely on board when the plan was announced to make the files available and because I am a junkie will probably still pledge here but I can understand why many folks with similar interest will hold off considering how many files they may now own, let alone how many buildings they may have already printed and have sitting on their shelves.
Just some thoughts on the business decisions. I love the work and hope to print it soon.

“When the Kickstarter launched there were not as many options for modular printable buildings. There has just been so much development in the industry in the last 2.5 years;”
This is my frustration too. This set was extremely unique at the time, but there are so many options now. Today, I feel like it’s still unique as they are stackable and it’s art style. Maybe only countered by sets that have individual pieces that can be “lego’d” (scientific term) together.
Again, I want this set. I think it still has it’s charm…..but its been a REALLY long time.
I understand the fear of letting physical backers feeling shafted, but there is a big difference between that product and filament printed set. Of course, today resin printing is getting larger and more affordable, so maybe I’m wrong about that now. But printed sets still need to be painted, so there’s that to consider.
My shelf is running out of space for terrain. Please take my money! If not for me, think of the children!
