So this is confusing .-. I thought that Obsidian was doing something Pathfinder related, if they aren't thats disappointing. Second thing to be confused about is that whats up with new studio composed of veterans from random not that notable games? Like Avellone is most notable of bunch, but apparently their game is adaption of AP instead of original touch so I don't think his writing style will come through as much as normally?

While Owlcat may be newer, it's members, and the company it is a part of have had a lot of video game success. Avellone's writing style will come through. It will also definitely have the Pathfinder feel.

As far as not using iconics, isn't that the iconic barbarian on the left of the header image on the website?

BOOM. At this point Amiri will be a possible companion. New characters are being made to fill out the party. More on Iconics to come . . .

Looks good hope it gets a console release.

At this point it will be for PC. May be expanded.

Kingmaker? Ehhh, If it's not real time with pause or has co-op I'll get it otherwise I'll pass (which really means I'll only guy one copy because my girlfriend will get it either way)

It will be real-time with pause. No finalized decision on co-op.

They really like making video games on the Kingmaker AP don't they.

Though I am looking forward to the Video game I wish they would pick a different AP to base a video game on.

Our thought is that the players have the most amount of freedom with Kingmaker.

Hmm. Interesting. Though, using some new developer instead of partnering again with Obsidian (who excels at making this type of game) doesn't inspire my confidence off the bat.

That said, I'm still curious to see how this shakes out.

Owlcat Games is a newer studio for a company that has done quite a few big projects. Up till now they are more well known for their work in the European market.

Well that's one thing I was hoping for, now I will get the dragon mounted maiden - extremely nice- and a for version, since the mini looks to be a pretty close match.

Thank you for finally producing an archer maiden, that was always a gap in my collection after the first maidens.

All three are good, solid choices and like Marco has implied the distribution looks to be spot on for them.

My only reservation: I hope they are a colour match for the ones previously released in shattered star. Maybe we can get a side-by-side comparison shot when you have the production minis in house?

Now the dragon. Is it my imagination or does Zarmangarof bear more than a passing resemblance to the incentive piece from heroes and monsters?

They do in fact look similar. I can say that they are based off of different reference, and that their stance is the most efficient way to get them on their bases without taking up twice their size in unfurled wings and lashing tails :).

I want six of the Maidens with swords and 2 to 4 of the archers. They look awesome! I wonder if there are any other Maidens in the set? I'd like one with a spear.

. . .

Hey Mike, thank you for making it possible for us to get miniature previews while Erik is in his well deserved family vacation.

I hope you'll have a great MLK weekend too.

The minis are great:
-the common guard (4-5 in a case),
-the uncommon archer (3-4 in a case)
-the rare leader (1 in a case)

See you next friday?

Oh yes.

So we have:

Half-Orc UnChained Barbarian
Catfolk UnChained Rogue
Human Bard
Elf Cleric

Nice. See you all tomorrow.

Oh my god, so fun.

cs erik: It sounds funny in my head, but if I say it out loud... that's how I get punched in the face.

who would do-haHA

Can I multi class as a druid/alchemist so I can take an ape animal companion, give him a tumor, and then give them both armor spikes?

Follow up question:
If I cast animal growth on the ape animal companion, does the tumor gain reach also?

Highhelm? Awesome! Is James Jacobs and his unreasonable dwarf hatred on vacation?

James's hatred of dwarves is far overblown by, of all things, the internet! (I know, it surprised me as well to learn that the internet can sometimes do this.) And said "hatred" pales in comparison to James's knowledge that the game is not just for him.

Dwarves are cool. Just sayin.
