First Impressions:

When I first found this page some years ago I was drawn in by how good everything looks. I have seen a lot of 3d models for cut and glue purposes. Theirs are, by far, the best looking ones I have found. The home page show off their most popular items with good and exiting imaging. They have a big area at top where they show off the featured items this week/month. Each product page have good pictures of the models as a whole, in play and as their individual parts.

Stock:

In their stock they have a wide array of models and terrains. They are easily interchangeable and easy to mod to your own purposes. In addition they sell ready made terrain packages so you don't have to do all the cutting and gluing yourself. One day I want to buy some of those packages. I specially like the Feisty Friar Inn they have. I bought it as a pdf and have been cutting and gluing my heart out so I can use it in the big adventure I have planned for Mr. K.

They have models for a wide array of games too. You want something modern? Got it. Something western? Got that too. Want to play among the stars? Check out their Sci-Fi models. More interested in the fantasy worlds? Go right ahead, there is lots to choose from. Horror game you say? Got that too. They even have some that are universal. They also have adventures, game aids and fan kit-bashes. Loads to choose from, so go take a look!

Verdict:

Thumbs up, arms in the air, doing cheers! I absolutely love Worldworksgames! I have bought many of their direct download tabletop terrains and have made most of them (pr have them in the making).

Mr.K Approval?

Mr. K is very pleased by the table top terrain and models I have made for decoration/use in games. He also agrees that WWG's models are by far the best looking ones. Thumbs up from MR. K.

First Impressions:

When you do a google search for rpg shops, this is the one that pops up first under the address rpglife.com. The link then leads you to this page. At first glance I was a bit sceptical, but the layout grew on me in record speed. The main page lets you quickly get a view of the range of items they sell and also gives you an idea of what items are on sale now.

Stock:

The first thing I did, ofcourse, was to look at the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 section in their menu to check if they had a good selection. Since the 3.5 edition books are out of print now, I am always happy to see someone that sell them still. Rpgshop.com is one of the few places I have seen the new prints AND some old ones. They also have some 3rd edition books still. I was also thrilled by the selection of miniatures they had. I found something for almost all my characters and NPCs. Absolutely grand if you ask me. Another thing they have a good selection of is the Game Mastery stuff that Mr. K loves so much. We have ordered some maps and cards through the local student geek shop, but it is great to find a good webshop where we can order a large variety of items from. From what I see they have a generally good selection in everything from A to Z of things you would need for you game, that you could find in a games shop.

Verdict:

Thumbs up! I like this online shop. The next time I have some money set aside for RPG stuff I will most likely spend them here.

Mr.K Approval?

Absolutely! His exact words were

"They have a good selection, the prices are nice and in addition they have lots of extra stuff, so those with toddlers can buy their little monsters a gift. Nerds are people too, and we have to get the opportunity to give the little nerdlings stuffed animals and such."
