Expected, but disappointed the buildings are made of paper. Just the starter-box buildings are paper (makes sense to keep the entry cost down). They're making resin buildings separately.

Yeah, seems like a decent amount of stuff to get you started. Resin buildings will definitely be on my to-buy list once they are released, but paper won't bother me in the meantime.

They look like they may scale well with DropZone buildings. So maybe bringing across those lots to help fill in may be useful.

Are people excited about this? I would be more excited if it wasn't delaying the Tharn CID/overall process of actually fixing the balance of the game I currently play.

As someone who was invited to work on the Amazing Eternals before it got canceled, I get really peeved when I see this attitude. Just because a developer has a well-known project that they continue to work with doesn't make anything that isn't directly supporting that project a detriment to the company. Working only on a single project is a nice trip to lack of productivity.

Wait, is this the actual board for this game ? Crappy, thin, gloss paper map that doesn lay flat, with ugly fold lines as a gaming board? Is it late 80's again ?

It's all about keeping costs down - a quality playmat and models and dice and rules and plastic/resin buildings would all up the cost very fast. Surprised they used paper and not card for the buildings; but its a started set designed to get you in cheap and fast.
A low buy-in price is often a good thing as it gets more people in fast; then they can expand with better stuff once they are hooked.

If you are familiar with the original game, these mats are exactly the same material from the looks of it. I know many people got theirs laminated to keep them in good, playable condition. It was also a very different game back then in terms of how you got models and how it was pre-painted plastic.

The maps in the original game were nice- choice of map for a tournament game was part of your list-building consideration!

Love that the buildings are paper, 'cause my monsters gonna be a-stompin' and burnin' down that town! Really, you've never smelled a resin fire?!! Now if PP gave players the link to a PDF so you could print more buildings, actual destruction of opposing buildings could be a thing
