I believe the NPC codex will have pawns suitable for PCs.. I hope anyway.

I hope so, too. Having said that, the Sainsbury's website in the UK had the beginner's box for £9, so I ordered it. It's been delayed a couple of times, though, so whether it will arrive is uncertain. And a quick search of their site now doesn't show it.


My Bestiary Box arrived the other day. 1) Solid box! 2) HEAVY! 3) Seriously good components. Heavy card, well-punched, no tearing like I've had with some punch-card game components. Once I'd taken everything out and unpunched all the pawns I had a hard time getting everything back in the box!

My only complaint (and it's minor, at best) is that the artwork goes over the edges of the pawn in some cases - a spider knee here, the tip of a wing there. Could you not have resized everything to fit on the pawn properly?

Ordered the Runelords pawns about ten minutes after opening this box.

Any chance of making the PC Pawns from the beginner's box available to those of us who don't have it? (Or those of us who - checks to make sure no-one's eavesdropping - don't play Pathfinder?)


Just a quick question - buying the beginner box is the only way to get hold of the pawns in that box, right? There's no such thing as a "PC Pawns" set?


Cosmo,

Thanks for your reply - one of the things that's striking me about these forums is how involved the company appears to be. Vic's post makes a lot of sense, I can see the business logic there.

Until such time as a UK base of operations is established, I shall continue to purchase my Pawns from wherever my nearest games shop happens to be.

Thanks, guys.


Good folk of Paizo. I recently found myself in need of miniatures and love the simplicity and ease of storage of the Pawns. I was seriously - very seriously - considering taking out a Pawns subscription. And then I saw the shipping cost. I don't doubt for a second that this is what it costs to ship the pawns, they're not the lightest of items, but it almost doubles the cost - $15.99 for the pawns, $13.60 for the shipping - total subscription cost about £18.60. In the UK, the pawns would cost £12.69 (not the best dollar-pound exchange rate, but hey!). So the tempting idea of saving 15% would actually cost me about £8.

Would it be possible to enter into an agreement with one of the UK game suppliers - Esdevium, perhaps, or Leisuregames - and have them fulfill subscriptions from the UK end of the market? After all, they're already distributing your stuff to gamers of the UK.
