Should a Pawns item for an AP be listed under the PF RPG?

Why does this come out after the AP? Wouldn't it be better to have it available to use when playing or does everyone else wait till all the parts of an AP come out to play it?

If I remember correctly I believe someone said that they don't get all of the art for the pawns until after the AP is finished or atleast the art from the last issue of the path. It would be nice if it came out at the same time as the AP. Not sure how their schedule works for each path. Don't know if they work on each part consecutively or one waits till the previous part is completed before they start on the next one.

Yep, any product that relies on art like Pawns or the map packs generally waits until the end of the release so that the Art actually exists.

Although yes, many people do wait until the last issue of an AP is out so that they can work elements and themes from later parts into the story earlier.

As the others have said, the pawns for an Adventure Path use a lot of art from the Adventure Path, which means we don't have all of the art until the last volume of the AP is finished.

Then of course, we have to actually choose what pawns will be included, order new art for important pawns that didn't get illustrated in the AP, and then go through the whole printing process, which is more complicated than just printing a book.

All of which ends up with a pawn set that comes out after the AP, unfortunately.

If I ran APs I'd probably just always do them 6 month after release. Sure I'd always be one full AP arch behind but that way I could run them with all the supplemental materials.

I hope there will be frost giants in this. I got most of my giant needs covered in the RotRL set and it looks like Shattered Star will give me my fire giants. Still need my frost giants though. >.<

This set could almost be a box set itself with the wide range of characters in the AP. Irrisen witches, centaurs, asst. fey, Triaxian elves, drakes and dragon-kin, Russian soldiers, not to mention Baba Yaga, Rasputin, and the Dancing Hut!

There are most definitely frost giants in this set!

Woot! Thanks for the reply. That is good news indeed. :)

Updated product image and description to final.

Any chance of getting some Pathfinder Battles mins from this AP too? Nothing's in the pipe and the next AP is getting minis in December. :-(

I'd not rule out a Queen Elvanna or a Baba Yaga, in the Legends set.

Of course, I'm just some guy, so take that for what it's worth.

Shattered Star got miniatures before Skull and Shackles. Though the very different nature of the monsters helped Skull and Shackles get a set.

That's one of the things that I thought was cool with Reign of Winter— all the winter and winter-touched creatures (and WWI stuff). Maybe they feel it won't have a general appeal to people just buying minis to use with their campaigns.

All I'll say is that the fact you haven't *seen* anything is not a reliable indicator that there's "nothing in the pipe." :-)

I keep trying to stick my fingers into the pipe to clean out the gunk, so I can see farther down, but it ain't working. LOL.

Still all these late dates for pawns/minis for Reign of Winter is making me sad that I chose it to begin playing Pathfinder with my boys (loved the theme and color scheme too much to pass up).

Still we've only finished the first book, so by the time we're on book three I hope some minis will be out there. :-)

Oh wow, I hope this means we'll get getting a Reign of Winter set ! Your white dragon evolution stuff was helpful up until now.

I have to say this is one of the most fun adventure paths I've played. There's tons of detail on Irrisen and Whitethrone and I'm having a blast. I really want a Nadya Petska mini and of course we really really want a scale model of the dancing hut. That would be amazing. Because I'm using the dreamblade mini right now but the scale is off. It would be really cool if the top came off and you could put inside 25mm minis.... just saying... that would be a collectors item from the planes, surely !

There's a Reaper Baba Yaga, but I'm not crazy about it; I'd much prefer one closer to the original art. (Also, I'm not sure I'd be using her in person often enough to want to use something I'd have to spend half a day painting ...)

Any chance of getting a content list before this comes out? October 16th isn't that far away. ^_^

Product description updated, set list added.

Which of all these critters got new artwork?

Wooo! Thanks Liz. You're my new favorite ninja. :D

Is this running late now, I haven't seen it released anywhere?

Street date is October 30, so still another ten days until shops can sell it.

I thought (and I accept that I may be wrong) that the pdf date is after the hard-copy date. But either way, thanks.

Nope, PDF date is usually the street date of the item, that way people can buy the PDF the same day as the hard copy.

Does this mean they don't plan to release a paper minis set for anything more than Snows of Summer? I'm halfway through that adventure, and I'm getting to love those little guys. I could probably love these too, it just requires a greater investment.

The paper minis are not actually released by Paizo – they are third party products under a special license. You will also notice that full sets of paper minis exist both for Rise of the Runelords and Skull & Shackles – i.e. the adventure paths with releases of Pathfinder Pawns. So, I think, it is safe to assume that more paper minis for Reign of Winter will be forthcoming.

Do these come with bases or not? It's unclear from the description, but it sure sounds like they don't and you have to get the bestiary box to get bases. I would love to get these to fill in the gaps for my reign of winter campaign, but if i also have to get the bestiary box, that might be a little too much for my tender wallet.

None of the pawn collections come with bases - you are meant to supplement with those found in any of the other boxes.

We also sell packs of bases. I got a bag of Medium/Small bases and a bag of Large bases to run a game at PaizoCon last year because I had more monsters than I had bases from the Bestiary Box. :)

The flumph beat me to it! I was looking for the link :)

Keep in mind that our expectation that you have the Bestiary Boxes extends beyond just the bases—we expect you to have those pawns, too. Which is to say, when an AP includes monsters from the Bestiaries, we don't usually put them in the AP pawn collections.*

*Ok, we do sometimes—say, if there's a need for a lot more of a particular monster, or if there's specific artwork for the monster in question for the AP, or so on.

Where's the animated Ice dragon from the first book?

Where's the animated Ice dragon from the first book?

It's impossible, for a variety of reasons, to make a pawn for every creature in the AP, and as such, we have to make difficult choices about who gets a pawn and who doesn't. In the case of the animated ice dragon, I decided that the Large white dragon pawn from the Bestiary Box set would be a good match. As a result, something else from the AP got a pawn that otherwise wouldn't (such as the dragonkin from Pathfinder #70).

Fair enough.

As for the regular monsters, I've got tons of "normal" monster minis running around. I just thought it would be cool to get the specific ones for the AP.

Thanks for the help!

Would of been nice to have a pawn for The Gobbler. Too bad...

Pretty nice pawn set, there were couple of pawns that were missing that I would have liked to see in there, one of biggest was pawn for Nostafa from book 3 or even basic night hag pawn for her since even bestiary box only had pawn for green hag. Second one being Korred pawns as adventure path requires 6 and there are none here and bestiary box 2 only had 1 in it.

Disappointing set... too many pawns from the AP missing... I mean seriously, how could you not include Teb?

Okay, I seriously need to speak out against the bias Paizo seems to have against providing huge elemental (i.e. also elder elemental) pawns. Yes, they are huge size and therefore take up a lot of place, but you can find huge/elder elementals in tons of AP's and we don't have proper pawns for any of those encounters. Here, three Elder elementals are in

Please provide huge elementals of each type in some future pawn set. Pretty please.

The Huge Elementals are in the Monster Summoner pawn set.

So they are, although only the four base elementals. Well, I'll have to look into getting that one, lots of useful stuff in there.

This set contains 182 pawns:

-22 small
-116 medium
-34 large
-10 huge
