Here's my fantasy product, which would solve the issue of a follow-up "Beginner Box 2" type product and also be highly useful to any Pathfinder GM.

How about a Sandpoint box set?

It would mirror the BB in components, having a flip-mat with the Rusty Dragon on one side. A 64-page book detailing Sandpoint and surrounding area, NPCs and locations etc. The larger 96-page book would be a campaign of several connected adventures.

Pawns for all of the important NPCs of the town plus unique pawns to go along with the adventures book. In place of the dice + pregen PC folios a big poster map.

So excited for pawns, pawns, pawns.
Any chance i can sell part of my soul for
a Carrion Crown pawn set sooner than later? I suppose not...

Just want to say that this is brilliant product synergy and for myself the pawn set actually sells me the AP. Great work guys.

To clarify my thoughts on the pawns:

1) people clamoring for front and back side art...you do realize that Paizo has an immense library of ready-to-print artwork for monsters and NPCs? Do you think they are going to approach those artists to go back and somehow make matching rear-view artwork of all those existing illustrations? For brand-new art it would be an option but I'm assuming the future pawn sets would primarily utilize existing artwork.

2) I could see them doing 3 sizes of die-cuts on sheets of pawns but how do you expect anything like true scale? This is unrealistic. Look at the black dragon from the BB set. They probably aren't going to do giant standee pawns that take up half a sheet of cardstock. What would the base be like?

These pawns rock. I hope we get a ton of them and I know they will sell like crazy, but they are not direct replacements for scaled 3D minis.

Every blog and review on the Beginner Box I've seen so far these pawns are a 100% unanimous home run. The whole product is a knockout but people always go to some length to love on the pawns. Metal and plastic minis will always have their audience but this simple idea of die-cut stand-ups with great art gives everyone who plays the game the opportunity to have a rich tabletop experience.

My own opinions: 1)same art both sides is fine, if you need to see
the butt side of everything then you'll want regular minis and 2)
the two pawn sizes from the Beginner Box sheets are also fine, we don't need true/perfect scale for cardboard pawns.

Cannot wait for this. Also cannot stop fantasizing about a Planet Stories RPG.

Any chance we can see this artwork without the text at some point? That dragon is stunning.

I know it's probably way early to try and vote for "more sets of pawns" but I'd like to go ahead and vote for more sets of pawns. As a newbie but enthusiastic Pathfinder GM I think these stand-up pawns would strike an ideal balance between plastic or metal minis, which are awesome but seriously expensive, and something like flat pog-type tokens, which have none of the visibility/presence of "real" minis on the tabletop.

As such, if sets of pawns for lots of monsters were available, I for one would probably collect them and use them, just sayin'. I love the pre-painted plastic minis as well, I hope it's not a matter of only one or the other being produced...I'd love to see more sets of plastics for PCs and use pawns for monsters but that is just me trying to find a happy medium that I could personally afford.
