Looks like the host was not paid so the server is not reachable any more. I guess we all knew that this would happen one day, still it's sad that there was zero communication regarding this, especially since people spent their free time managing the store and forum in the owner's absence. I'd have loved to go over my shop inventory one more time to see if I have everything I paid for on my hard disk. theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=421996

Try the Paizo site. I'm pretty sure there is still some stuff on there. I love the sea works pirate cove set.

Also reminded me why I hadn't picked them up beforehand though - bit out of my currently unemployed price range!! I'm not unemployed, but my business is in a lull. I can totally relate. One of the reasons I've been toying with design is that I'm hoping to come up with something good enough to put on OBS and generate just enough sales to pick up a few items that I'd like to have, but can't justify the cash. I wish Denny and crew would have spent a little time and moved the catalog over there, and then if they walked away, they'd still be picking up some sales

This was predicted two years ago. :-(
It's too bad too, as I know for a fact that some folks offered to buy them out at least that far back.

It's back. Forum is still dead, but that's a different technical issue (that perhaps is being worked on).

The way the WWG staff handled things will guarantee that I will have nothing to do with any of their products in the future. In this case their video games. Once burned, twice shy

Don't get me started. Even when it was up it had the least "mutual" community moderation of any designer's support community. Good riddance.

Such a shame as I really like TLX system. Makes me sad to see a creator show such a disinterest in what is such a die hard fanbase

I enjoyed their products and community right up to the very end. We forum moderators wound up handling all of the customer service issues, eventually without being able to contact the owners for approval. Truly, the community and the paying customers were left high and dry.
But you guys here are great. Now you are stuck with me and my shenanigans.

What confuses me is that if you don't want to invest more into the business, money or time-wise, why not just migrate everything over to OBS?

It's a pity that the forum is down. Although I like the WWG Material, it is a big fault that there are no real examples in the instructions and that for me was the real value of the forum (because I am rather new to the papercraft hobby). I really was astonished that the forum was still alive after that many years without any new input from the publisher. Great compliments to all the guys that helps me there or create new WWG material for the community.
By the way: I hope I'll have a little sparetime in the future to post an easy way to combine WWG with FDG and vice versa (yes, it works without kitbashing).
Best wishes from Germany! Wiesel/Weasle

I was gonna try to save up and and nab a bunch of stuff when it came back up but who knows if that will ever happen now? There was a great kitbash of the maiden awaiting approval that I really really wanted too.

I've stopped checking. Really. How many times do they have to indicate they don't give two sh*ts about their paper terrain customers?
Honestly, keeping a domain alive requires clicking on the link in the email they send you to renew. I have a half-dozen domains that I keep parked for future use - it's trivial and cheap to do ($20 US).
They've even refused buyout offers and apparently would rather let their intellectually property rot.
Instead, hang with the people who love to share (legally) and appreciate your talents/contributions, here at cardboard-warriors.

Apologies: I've apparently already posted the above sentiment. I'd apparently forgotten that. I'm sorry for sounding like a broken record.
I'll try to remember that the NEXT time WWG comes up and then goes down.

Edited,I have received information from another source that they have been available at Paizo for quite some time, but for those who didn't know ( like me) some of their PDF products at least are available through Paizo.com. paizo.com/store/byCompany/w/worldworksGames/downloadsLast update on their Facebook page is from June, 2016.

This is a real shame, because they have nice products. Himmelveil sets have some of the better testures I've ever seen. Paizo have higher prices than WWG official site (RIP) and not everything is available. I'm wondering if Christopher Roe could do something to make things better, or, at least, to make his models available through some other source, I missed his HL 300 ( www.ebbles.com/2011/07/dmc-northstar-hl-300-completed/)
