The characters, villains, and starships of the Pact Worlds come alive on your tabletop with this collection of more than 200 creature and starship pawns for use with the Starfinder Roleplaying Game or any tabletop science fantasy RPG! The Starfinder Pact Worlds Pawn Collection presents beautiful full-color images of characters, alien creatures, and starships, perfect for representing your next character or deadly extraterrestrial foes! Printed on sturdy cardstock, each double-sided pawn slots into a size-appropriate plastic base from the Starfinder Pawns Base Assortment, making them easy to mix with traditional metal or plastic miniatures. With multiple pawns for commonly encountered creatures, NPCs, and starships, the Starfinder Pact Worlds Pawn Collection is the best way to ensure you've got the perfect characters to bring your Starfinder campaign to life!
The Starfinder Pact Worlds Pawn Collection includes pawns suitable for representing player characters, allies and enemies, aliens, starships, and more! While creature pawns are broken out by base size, all starship pawns use medium bases, from the tiniest fighter to the largest warship. Inside this set, you'll find:
I don't know why other reviews gave 2 stars just because the pawns don't have numbers, actually, I prefer them this way. Amazing product as usual, great for enemies and more PC's.
I want to echo the sadness about the lack of numbers and set IDs. (The pawns I have *do* have names on them.)
For *years* the Pathfinder pawns had numbers and a pawn set ID tag on the pawn sets. This made it very convenient to store and keep track of pawns, even as I had more and more sets. I could figure out what pawns I had by looking at a list, and going to the place where I keep them. When done gaming, I could easily and quickly put them back where they went.
PLEASE BRING BACK NUMBERS AND SET IDs!!!!! Why did you stop? They are so helpful.
Nice artwork, bad scaling, and a big timebomb flaw
When I first laid hands on this baby I was pretty happy. I like the artwork a lot, there's a lot of pawns in here that I think I can use. There's a nice range of races covered, as well as more core races. Two things irk me though;
1) Again the artwork keeps getting cut off. Pictures are scaled to basically let the top of people's head but up against the ceiling of the pawn, and for lashunta that means their antenna get snipped off. And for a lot of other people, the end of their weapon or their wings get cut off. I think this is really sloppy and could have easily been prevented by scaling the picture 90% just to keep everything in the frame.
2) The pawns don't have the name of their pawn set on the pawn. Sounds trivial? It's not.
I store my pawns in the original cardboard in their boxes - easiest way to keep them sorted. If I need a monster from Bestiary 17 starting with Q, I pop open box 17 and flip cardboard until I come to monsters starting with a Q. After I'm done playing, I have a hand of pawns from five boxes, but each pawn has a box name printed on it so I now where to put it back. It's very easy and efficient.
Bestiary boxes, as well as Pathfinder AP pawn collections, the Villain Codex, NPC Codes all have this handy system. But the Starfinder sets don't. Neither Alien Archive, nor Pact Worlds, nor Core Rulebook. So if I've used pawns from all three in an adventure (which is really not that unlikely) I have to do a lot of looking up to see where to put them back. And Alien Archive 2 is going to hit the shelves in a couple of months. This problem could get bigger and bigger.
PLEASE PAIZO PUT THE NAME OF THE PAWN SET ON THE PAWNS. Also please the number in that set. You've done this for years and it's really useful. Why did you stop?
From reading the description, these do not come with bases included?
Correct, Damanta, none of our Pawn Collections come with bases (the Pawn Boxes do though). For bases we would encourage you to look at our Starfinder Base Assortment product or our bags of bases here on Paizo.com.

Just wanted to double check :)
I have the Starfinder Base Assortment on pre?/back?-order at my FLGS.
The pathfinder bases were also nowhere available, so in the meantime a friend has printed me a set of numbered medium bases.
Now if only we could get apropriately sized starship minis which fit into a hex - small pawns for tiny and small ships & medium pawns for medium ships.

Originally we had planned for the SF Base Assortment to be an August release but manufacturing delays forced us to move their release to October. Your FLGS should be receiving them soon and they should be available for you to pick up beginning October 18th.

I hope not, I love them just as they are.
Why do you like them too big?
they are supposed to fit inside one hex, which they don´t.
I have run half a dozen starship combats and ships often move directly behind one another.
This doesn´t work with the pawns, especially with the large ones.
That´s why i had to buy miniatures, which are far superior to the pawns, because the sizes are right and the larger ships have elevation (are on longer poles), so they don´t interfere with the smaller ones.
Any plan to fit the entirety of the art onto the pawns, or is that just not feasible?
The proportions of the original illustrations (and the shapes of the monsters they depict) don't necessarily conform to pawn proportions. If we scaled each piece of art to fit fully with the token, some of the monsters would be very out of scale with others. We think approximating the appropriate scale of each monster is more important than making sure that (for example) their extended wingtips are visible.
