I had been holding off picking up a copy of the Beginner Box thinking that I'd want more of the standees and I didn't want to get my hopes up.

WAY TO DELIVER PAIZO!!!

Can't wait.


Sold.


I would like to know if they are making "large" AND "huge" stands for the bigger pawns as mentioned in some of the other threads...


They'd almost have to include larger-than-Medium bases. I don't think there are that many Medium and smaller monsters in the Bestiary.

The picture has what appears to be a large figure on a medium base.

Point.


I wonder if they'll be fitting this into the rpg subscription and, if so, whether it will be extra or replace one hardcover?

GIVE.


I was excited for second than I wasn't. If we had bestiary 1-3 in one big book that'd be cool. Maybe next time.

We're still working on subscription details, but this definitely does NOT replace a hardcover book.

We should have a product page up for this (and other May releases) shortly. A lot of folks (including me) have missed work due to illness this week, so we're running a little bit behind. Stay tuned, and we will have more information available shortly.


Well played. I must now have it as I simply love the ones that come with the BB.

Hope everyone is feeling better.

And I know at least one PFS GM who uses the Beginner's Box counters as 'quick and dity' minis so this should make him happy.

Awesome idea. Will it have pawns larger than Huge size, too?

Grand Lodge

I'm a minis guy through and through. I love little plastic (metal, if I have to)3D representations of characters and creatures and whatnot and won't play without them.

And, yet, the Beginner Box taught me the value of the stand up pawns, and I find myself very excited by the announcement of the Bestiary Box. These won't replace miniatures for me, but they will be a fantastic supplement!

Yet again, thank you Paizo!

Well, there goes $35 of my money this year.

Total awesomeness!

Silver Crusade

Well this is a good idea. I'm looking forward to it.


Could you please tell us if the size large and huge cutouts can be laid flat on a grid and fill the right number of squares?

I like the stand ups for medium but for bigger monsters I want a representation of how many squares they are taking up so laying them down is great.

No. Pawns larger than Huge are simply not practical, as they would take up pretty much an entire sheet and require the molding of expensive bases, pushing up the total price of the product significantly while adding relatively little play value to the set (because said monsters are, generally speaking, very very rare).

How about I do you one better and mold Large and Huge bases that cover the right number of squares but that also allow the pawn to stand up properly?

Cause that's what we're doing.

And now the product page is up!


That is very cool.

You guys rock, I know I will be buying this box set ASAP. Depending on number of certain figures maybe two and I will feel my money is well spent.
