Hey Guys and Gals,

I am re-launching a Kickstarter campaign with a more easily attainable funding goal.

The product I am talking about is POTION TOKENS.

What are Potion Tokens?

A Potion token is a unique coin given to a player by the DM when they find a potion in an adventure.

They are made out of both Metal and Plastic.

Potion Tokens have many functions:

* When a player uses (spends) a Potion Token, they can physically hand the Potion Token to the DM. No need to erase a potion from inventory!!

* Players can reference the small spell description on the back of the potion token that tells the player exactly what to do to resolve that spell.

To find out more or to pledge some money towards this Kickstarter go to this link:

Thanks for taking the time to look through all the info and I hope I can count on your support.

Did Paizo ever consider developing a Battle Map Creating software?

I have Hero Lab and it is Spec-Freakin-Tacular thus proving that an RPG software accesory like Hero-lab makes cash all day long.

I see the quality of product you guys put out with Pathfinder and all its secondart accessories, just imagine what Paizo could do with a battle map creation software.

With the owner of Dundjinni gone awol and assumed fallen off the planet because the inability of anyone able to get ahold of her, and the over-complicated interface and bloated price of Campaign Cartographer this is a great opportunity to put out a simple to use, eye catching battle map creation software.

You could sell the base software and to keep making money on the software Paizo could sell Add-On packs. Item Packs, creature packs, building packs, texture packs.........the list goes on and on.

Thanks for reading guys.

Later.

Carl.

I was browsing through other miniatures sites and noticed that some miniatures companies sell a regular line of mini's and a "Masterpiece" series.
These Masterpiece series are usually bigger in scale and more detailed.

I think Paizo could do the same with their pre-painted line.

The original pathfinder Battles could stay in production for the Pathfinder players who need mass minis for DM'ing an adventure.

And the "MASTERPIECE" series of Pathfinder Battles could just be "Large" sized minis to retain detail in sculpts.

And then also could have more intricate paint jobs to deserve the MATERPIECE title.

The price would be more expensive obviously but well worth the price.

Initially, Paizo could release only a 5 or 10 "MASTERPIECE" set to see how well it sells.

I'm starting a Second Darkness campaign and would love to use the official Paizo maps with D20Pro on my Computer Game Table pictured here:

Hey guys and Gals at Paizo,

I have a SPECTACULAR business proposition for you.

Ready for it......

It'll be the best thing since "Self Rolling Dice"

ITS.........The DUNDJINNI REPLCEMENT PROGRAM.

I can see it now......Create your own Battlemaps on the Paizo branded Battlemap creator.

Could sell it in 2 different versions.

**Paizo Battlemap creator Basic.
------------ OR -------------------
**Paizo Battlemap creator PRO.

Simplify the user interface so someone could belt out a battlemap in no time.

Have Battlemap Templates where DM's could start out with a blank building or dungeon with a themed template......
--Temple
--Dungeon
--INN
--castle
--etc.........

Put a really nice user interface skin on it with paizo art or advertisements for new Paizo products to come out soon with every update to the software.

The opportunities are endless!!!!

So what do you say guys???

If I'm paying $4-6 for a single miniature I'll go with a company like Reaper. Those are prices I'd expect to pay for metal miniatures, not prepainted plastics. In fact, you are better off getting the metal pathfinder miniatures from Reaper.

True...........but you'd still have to paint them.

As a married, father of three besides working full time and yard work and family stuff and....well, you get the point....Its hard to paint anything anymore.

So i'll gladly fork over the little extra.

However, as someone who buys almost everything Paizo makes; from my subscriptions, or monthly shipments from Paizo.com (instead of Amazon, which is always cheaper), I think I'm allowed to not like the idea of overpricing something.

First, thanks for your support of the company we all love.

As to overpricing, Paizo isn't doing that. The price that Paizo is charging for these figures is right in the ballpark of what other retailers are selling them for. The price of these figures is going to be based on what price WizKids sells them to distributors for.

I'll grant you that they're expensive, but they appear to be high quality. WotC's D&D Minis did get more expensive (and quality suffered) towards the end of the line, and I really have no idea how the new minis that WotC produces will compare in price or quality. I also have no idea what the pricing on the Pathfinder Battles Encounter Packs is going to look like.

I hear a lot of people getting upset that they won't be able to afford to buy a case to get a Huge Black Dragon. I've got thousands of D&D minis, but (as it turns out) I don't have a Huge Black Dragon (Gargantuan yes, Huge no). I've gotten great use out those minis, and had a lot of fun over the years with them, and I've never noticed that I needed to get a Huge Black Dragon until one was announced from WizKids.

My advice is to buy what you can afford, and have fun. If you're able to pick up figures that you want or need at a reasonable price in the aftermarket, then by all means do so. If, at the end of the day, there's a figure or two that you want that you don't have (and can't afford to get), it's no big deal.

There are plenty of DnD minis from earlier sets that I don't have, but I still use the figures I do have from Harbinger and Dragoneye in my games every week, and I'm happy to have what I have.

If the minis you have enhance your game and add fun to the table, terrific. Just don't get so caught up in being angry about the figures, or...

also never let them catch you playing with your minis like G.I. Joes.

At first theres an awkward silence......and then a sigh of dis-approval.....
And then my wife smiles really big......because I just handed over the credit card.
So it all works out in the end, with me working a butt-ton of overtime to cover her shopping sprees. :)

The Ettin looks great....

and the Ranger looks even better....

But I think the Goblins are going to blow everything away....

i love the Pathfinder stylized Goblins.
