While miniatures are great, they take up a lot of space and are difficult to travel with. The alternatives (paper minis or chits) are more portable and take up less space, but are not very durable. These pawns are the perfect balance of the two - durable, portable, and great looking.
For the GM who travels, or doesn't have the time or space (or money) for a large miniature collection, this is a tremendous value. $35 for 300+ miniature analogs that fit into a box the size of two stacked rulebooks? I don't think that you will find a better value or a more convenient product.
If you buy this in hope of printing a copy across multiple 8.5x11 sheets to assemble your own map, you will be disappointed.
The PDF is two giant pages, so the only way you will be able to do it is with an app specifically designed to split large PDFs into printable chunks (and which will do so on protected PDFs- good luck), or with a large format printer/plotter.
It's still useful for VTT games, but is not a very well thought out product for most people. Come on, Paizo, what gives?
