You'll leave me a poor"er" man....

Well, I don't want to bankrupt you, sir. :P

Oh, and I'm already bankrupt, so nothing new there :P

Aaaaanndd... it's mine! :)

I shouldn't have promised it... bought then! ;)

One more thing.
When I personalize my pdfs, there will be a line added to the pages.
This time, this line is printed partly over the bases of the minis.
Not sure if this is a DINA4 (european paper format) problem.
Does anyone else experienced this?

The personalisation is on the pdf, has nothing to do with european paper formats.

Same problem here.
It's only the base though, so a bit of correction fluid might do the trick easily.

It's no problem for me, presently. I was just telling it, so that we don't have those lines on the minis itself one day!
I am glad it has nothing to do with paper format. Thanx for telling!

Can somebody post exactly which npc/monster minis you get with this set. This might be something nice to have in the description of this and future products.

love that "carbon-copy" of the cover

(add to cart--click!)

Thank you, guys! I was worried that without the Paizo e-mail announcement and Store Blog, these bad boys would wallow in ignomity. Now, obviously, they didn't get that initial sales boost, but they're chugging along at a good clip, so I guess the word got out just fine.

But don't hesitate to tell your friends. ;P

And feel free to throw whatever feedback you want at me. Love 'em or hate 'em, it's hearing from you guys that helps me make them better.

D'oh! I meant to warn N'wah to leave that area free...

But thankfully on this set it's only on the bases, so it's pretty easy to cover up/ignore.

wouldn't that be an spoiler for players?

In the future, though, maybe I could make some kind of vague reference that GMs might get but would leave players in the dark. What do you guys think? Give a full list? Allude to who's in the pack without naming names? Hop on shortly after the set is released and put the minis in a spoiler tag? Or just make a vague comment about a couple of them like in this set's description?

As an aside, future monster or race sets will have a listing of what's in the packs, since they're not strictly AP-specific and thus contain no spoilers. For instance, the gnoll set contains 3 standard gnolls, two gnoll archers, a gnoll priestess of Lamashtu, a flind, and a hyena. I won't list specific classes, since they're for you to use in whatever way you want in your game, and I intend that packs with playable races be vague enough that they can double as PC minis if people so desire (no mini labeled "Shoanti Barbarian", for example).

Two things:

1: The personalization problem. Is it possible to get this PDF revised so that that space is left blank? It's kind of annoying to have that text on the mini's base. Also, this may just be me and my printer, but I could print the first two sets just fine with scaling set to none but this set has part of the last few figures' bases cut off if I do that. The margins seem just a little too tight on this set, probably due to their being more put on a single page than in the previous ones.

2: Would it be possible to go back to the black bases or to maybe have the PDF include both versions on seperate pages? I prefer them over the white ones, personally.

Thanks for the input!

I'd rather have two pages and have everything come out nicer than one and have them be squished like mad.

On the subject of toggling between different settings: why not just include each version in the file we download? I may not be a computer expert, but I really doubt a single PDF file containing the data for all of those options would wind up having much of a smaller file size than several separate PDFs, each with one of the combinations.

Love the pugwampi :) Can't wait to see the Bestiary selection!

N'wah, sorry for buzzering you again, but is it a hell of a work to get uncolored version within the pdf as well, so we can color them on our own?!

I don't know if it is just Preview (MacOSX) but the pugwampi comes out really blurry. Has anyone printed him up yet? Is the lack of detail an issue at his size?

The Tiny sized minis will initially look really blurry, since they were drawn much bigger than the final version. Also, the current PDF program I'm using (hopefully soon to be replaced with Adobe Acrobat) makes things come out a little fuzzy. However, the printed out versions should come out quite nice, even Kink Mokknock, who is about as big as my pinkie nail when he's done. I'm working on a few different methods of doing Tiny minis so that they're appropriately sized and still look good on the PDF, but alas, at that size, detail is bound to be lost. As the AP progresses, though, things only get bigger, so Tiny minis will probably only be an issue again when Council of Thieves starts up (since you can't go to Cheliax without running into an imp, I'd bet).

Also, still planning on a redone version of this PDF where the watermark doesn't run through the Large bases; scheduling to get that uploaded on Monday. Either Vic or I will let you know when it's up. Sorry for the trouble. This is all pretty new to everyone involved.

On the color issue, the hope is that with Acrobat, I'll be able to set colors and black bases as a layer you can toggle on and off. If that for some reason fails, I'll start adding a sheet of black and white minis to the final product, but hopefully this will be an easy and elegant solution to the b&w vs. color issue.

I'll have to wait until I've got the available money to pick up Acrobat, though- hopefully by June this technology will be available to me. :P

Coloring the pugwampis is next. :P

The dorus are sweet. Thinking on getting one as a familiar now.

I just printed out and put together this set - love 'em! Very cool stuff. I think the harpy is my favourite so far.

I'm running this AP as a pbp game, so I don't strictly need the minis ... at this stage I'm giving them as toys to my 3 year old son!

By the way, I printed them on normal office paper rather than cardstock, and they work alright. They won't stand up to much wear and tear, but they do stand. I think if you were using these just for a single game session they'd be fine on normal paper.

Glad to hear about a field test with regular printer paper, sir. We here at Paizo Paper Minis appreciate quick and cheap solutions for the home gamer. :D

Something I'm doing with these and have done in the past with other paper minis: hot glue guns. You can use normal printer paper plus a hot glue gun to build the miniatures and they turn out pretty sturdy. The glue, when it cools, makes a solid enough plastic that they work well.

The updated file is UP! No more watermark troubles. There should be an e-mail sitting in your inbox with the updated link. Enjoy!

Oh, and good call on the hot glue gun. I hadn't thought of that, but that's probably because I haven't used a hot glue gun in a while. I might have to pick one up and try that out. Thanks for the tip!

In future releases, could you make sure that the minis have a clear facing?

The gnolls should be okay, since they are drawn in profile... but for many of the minis that are not, could you consider drawing a back-side?

It's not a perfect solution by any means, but it's what's possible for us at this time. If some of the minis are causing a problem and you're using facing rules, I'd say make a mark on the base to denote where "forward" is. Again, not perfect, but it should hopefully work for you until we're able to make double-siders.

Believe me when I say that two-sided minis are on my future wishlist, and if I do 3-D minis they'll definitely be part of the set (I'm working out the basic concepts for turning my to-scale rune giant minis into a fully 3-D downloadable kit in the back of my head, and I hope to have more monsters like him available some day, since the 3-D guys are just cool).

I hear you loud and clear! Just remember, two sides = added value. I'm printing and cutting two sides anyway...

One comment (for all the paper mini sets, really). It would be helpful if the figures were labeled in some way with the names of the NPC's and monsters. I know I can figure it out myself, but it would just be more convenient if they were given some off-figure labels so that I could go. Okay, that's a Pugwampi, that's so-and-so, etc.

I really like the idea of having all of the miniatures you'd need for an adventure path available in an accessory supplement like this. It will really add a lot of flavor to the game. I encourage Paizo to expand this accessory so that every adventure path volume has a set of paper miniatures that can be purchased separately.

...and even better, printable maps and terrain for the AP!!!

Thanks!

I spent part of my day off working on these minis. So much fun. Between this and World works games, I'm getting pretty good at paper crafting, something I never thought I'd say.
