Tried to upload yesterday, but my internet connection went suddenly FUBAR.
However, here they are. Yes, that's just my kitchen table. :)
I customized the minis to use multi-purpose switchable bases from OneMonk - the ones shown are the Wastes color scheme.
The latter photos show an ambush of sorts, set up using some elements from Worldworks "Exteriorworks Hinterland" set.To me, bot tops and bottoms with the outlines would be fine. Clear/lightly colored tops are useful for noting code numbers or HPs/status/ongoing effects, and bottoms can be given a custom coloring with a felt pen/color marker.
Hah! Awesome. I love it, and the One Monk bases are pretty awesome, I'll admit.
I think I mentioned this... somewhere (don't remember what thread), but yeah, the next set, and all further sets until a popular demand uprising occurs, will be simple white bases with black outlines. You'll be able to check them out this week (possibly as early as Monday night), but I'm still waiting on some more cardstock and the camera (oh, and some good lighting; the lighting inside the house at 3 a.m. leaves something to be desired).
Question: I've finished a hyaenodon (don't know if I've got it in me to do two different ones, but either way, "House of the Beast" will have four of them), but I thought I'd check with folks. Do you guys want me to work out a way of mounting a mini on top of it (nothing special, just a platform for a mini to stand on)? I think I've got an easy way to do it, and one that could simply be left off (well, cut off, but who's counting) if you didn't want it on there. Just checking out how you guys feel about the idea.
I would be happy just to see the gnoll drawn on top of the hyaenodon to form 1 mini, along with some single hyaenodons with no rider.
I just downloaded these guys and they are excellent. A couple of friends and I have started playing a minis game called Ares. These guys will be perfect for the gnoll army I was planning on building, as well as my normal GM needs.

ARES is my skirmish ruleset of choice, great balance between detail and speed of play. Also, incredibly easy to customize.

Probably based upon how fast people buy them.
Can we expect paper minis to support previous APs?
At the very least, one set will be coming out this week; most likely two, and, if I work extra hard at it, I could get all three sets for the currently available LoF adventures. Depending on Immora's current state of completion on the Bestiaries, those might be available, too. Hugo's working on some troglodytes soon, and I might break down and do some goblins soon, just to change things up a bit (and get some of the coolest monsters out there in mini form).
My roommate, Ben (aka Benchak the Nightstalker on the boards) has been doing hardcore cleanup and coloring work on the iconics (at least three of them are done, to my knowledge) but he's doing that as a favor to me and works on them in his spare time, which is minimal. But trust me. The wait on those will be worth it.
My hands are full for the time being just keeping up with the current APs, but Immora's pretty much knocked out a good amount of Curse of the Crimson Throne, which, if she lets me, I might whip up into sets. I'd love to do some Rise of the Runelords minis (my rune giant is what started this whole thing rolling), and I know Ben would love me to do Second Darkness, since he's running it.
So I guess, short answer is if time permits, I'd love to. But until time permits, it's on my wish list.
At bare minimum, I've got goblins and ogres on my list of monster packs, and I'll definitely add drow; I also like the look of Pathfinder's stone giants, so I'd be cool with doing those, too. Rune giants, while I LOVE their look, are... difficult, since a monster that big should really be done in 3-D, but if there's interest, I'd be cool with someday taking a shot at doing a few 3-D sets (y'know, one or two rune giants and a detailed instruction booklet, with other monsters to come depending on demand). I might have to bump up their price a bit, due to the extra labor of drawing such a big mini (my built-as-I-went rune giant is made of almost twenty parts), but for you, the consumer, the added awesomeness of a six-inch tall (not including greatsword) mini in full-color glory should make up for it.

While mounting woudl be cool, I'd be content with just sticking the mini beside the mount.
My roommate wanted these so I indulged her, my only concern is trusting her with scissors.
Edit: I pointed the artist who did my Hermit logo to this thread, if you're still wanting help and if she meets your quality control standards. ;-)
Heh. :P
Cool, have her send me an e-mail with a link to some of their stuff; I'm happy to have folks work with me if they're interested. My e-mail address is in my Paizo profile if you need it.
I don't know if I've got a lot of current work, but with the interest in doing sets for the previous APs, I bet there's some projects to be found there. :D
wow very nice. just really well done

I'll take advantage of the pdf sale with these tomorrow, but I just noticed your from Boise. Cool, just an hour west of yah in Ontario.
Sweet! Good ol' Ontario; gotta love a city that's pretty much built on the border of two states. Yeah, that's where Beer Valley Brewing is, too. Been meaning to drive out there sometime and try their stuff.
And definitely take advantage of the sale while you can. The first of the LoF adventure sets should hopefully be going live tonight; I'm about a half-hour away from getting the cover done, and then I'll upload it.
OK, this may be either a little silly or a little anal, but has anybody used the paper minis next to plastic minis? How well do they "mesh" on the battle map? (Slight differences in scale really bother me.)

I find they match up pretty good to the majority of the plastic minis. Some of the plastic gnolls are largers, but the gnoll claw fighter is a close match in height and build. The difference is mostly due to the thickness of the plastic base.
Thanks, Thraxus, I really appreciate it! It relieves any anxiety I was having about using them together...(of course, I'd be happy to have a pile on consensus)
|

First off, the next set is up! Check it!
Second off, hopefully the minis should match up height-wise rather well; I meticulously measure mine, and I resize other folks' stuff to be appropriate. But do let me know, guys, if they seem off.

Just bought the pdfs this morning & I must say I'm impressed by the gnolls so far. Nice work N'Wah!!
One concern I have is the dark brown gnoll, when he prints up, how much of him will actually show. Looks like there might be bleed through with the dark brown & black.
Also any chance of a black & white (ie line-art) gnoll (or any set actually)so we may color them to whatever we need?
I'm gonna get these printed off at the local Staples (as my printer ink is dangerously low right now), but I was just concerned with that dark brown one.

Thanks muchly!
The flind (the dark-colored gnoll) definitely appears to print differently on different printers. I've seen a version that came out lighter in color than mine (which was, admittedly, pretty dark, but you could still make out details), but haven't seen any that are darker. And hopefully, the Staples printer should be pretty good; if they let you set up for high-quality printing (or best, or whatever term they use for it) I'd take them up on the offer. It helps prevent blurry printing.
Yeah, I've been trying to decide what to to about black and white sets; like whether to make them separate or include them or what have you. There was demand before the sets came out for B&W versions, but the clamor kinda died off after a bit. I figure if folks start asking for them en masse, I'll figure out a way to deliver. B&W would definitely make sense for the sets with possible PC useage, so people could more easily customize their mini, instead of having to take whatever colors I go with.

And then you could sell N'wahTM brand Magic Markers to color them! "If you're not coloring your miniatures with N'wahTM magic markers, you're not playing PFRPG!"

I still really love your black and white work dude. In many ways i would rather have it so i can see all the taste detail, but much of the colouring is also real cool. In the end i like the idea of choice.

Black and white minis may some day make a triumphant return; read this post for more. I'll be needing a real PDF creator program first, though, and not this jerry-rigged PDF setup I've got now.
Believe me, sir. There's plans in the making. Plans to make these minis the awesomeist minis EVARD. :D

Cool, thanks for the tip in printing.
I gave in today & bought a new black ink cartridge for my printer but I still am gonna take the pdf up there, as I need to get other files printed off as well (one draw back of having just the pdf copy--need dead tree!!)
I'd like to see both. I don't mind the price right now (of course it had the pdflove sale but I think if a b&w & colored were in the same product I think the would really be a great bargain.

Very, very nice! I'd like to add my voice to the call for white bases, but these will look great next to my lead when we use them. :)
Paper mini's? Perfect! Now I don't have to buy expensive metal one's. I used to love painting them but now just find the idea boring and time consuming. Pathfinder should do most, if not all, the monsters in Paper Mini's out for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary. I would buy and love them!

Glad you like them!
The Bestiary, as in the big book, will probably be a bunch of separate sets (like gnolls, goblins, ogres, etc.) and similarly themed monsters (unintelligent undead like zombies and skeletons, could easily be combined into one pack). Obviously we'll have to wait 'til the Bestiary goes on sale (or until I can flip through it at PaizoCon and write down every monster :P ). If there were interest, I suppose I could compile them all into a mondo-set, but that would be a very large download (not to mention the price for a thousand-plus different minis).
I may eventually start making 3-D sets for people if there's interest (since a 3-D mini requires more work, I don't want to give people something they see as a hassle instead of a convenient game aid). But since people don't HAVE to buy them, I guess those that don't won't.

Excellent! I am happy to hear that most, if not all, the monsters will be available. These paper minis really do solve a great problem of mine. I like using mini's during gaming but have not had a sizable collection in years. This is a fast, easy, and attractive solution to the issue. I even like the art work! So very excellent indeed. Now all I need is a good gaming mat and the Pathfinder core books. ;) I still have my old dice. I could never get rid of them.
Yeah, a set of every monster from the Bestiary would be insanely big. It'd make a lot more sense to do a set of goblins, a set of ogres, a set of zombies / skeletons, a set of elementals, a set of demons, a woodland set with nymphs and centaurs, etc... The entire Bestiary could be covered between them without forcing you to buy all of the sets to get the specific ones you want. And let's be honest here: does anyone ever use EVERY monster from any monster book? Unless you're playing the World's Largest Dungeon, of course.

Exactamundo. The goal is all those individual sets of certain monsters (or themes, if it's something like centaurs where you don't really want 8-12 of them), which, with enough time, will hopefully cover the whole Bestiary (or at least the most commonly used monsters).
Selling a mega-set, while fun, would probably be a waste for the average GM.
I'm getting excited about doing some big 3-D sets for some of this stuff, though. I mean, it's really the only way to do a Colossal dragon justice. And the Tarrasque. Oh, the Tarrasque... :D

I customized the minis to use multi-purpose switchable bases from OneMonk - the ones shown are the Wastes color scheme.
The latter photos show an ambush of sorts, set up using some elements from Worldworks "Exteriorworks Hinterland" set.To me, bot tops and bottoms with the outlines would be fine. Clear/lightly colored tops are useful for noting code numbers or HPs/status/ongoing effects, and bottoms can be given a custom coloring with a felt pen/color marker.
Hah! Awesome. I love it, and the One Monk bases are pretty awesome, I'll admit.

I do mine as A-Frame standups. (Like the Steve Jackson Cardboard heroes). If you print the Gnolls at Letter Size and the Hyenadons at Executive Size (slightly smaller) the Hyenadons slide into the gnoll frames and you have a mounted set.
(I'll try to get some put up on my photobucket page later.)

You can see some examples of the PF Minis in a new folder here: http://s816.photobucket.com/home/gigglestick42/index (with my lame attempts to duplicate mounted minis.)
Linky no worky.
Let's try this:
And I'll be posting the rest of CJ's Bloodsworn Vale Minis once I get them assembled.
Damn that's a lot of paper minis...

Faster!

As a GM who runs a pretty loose campaign, where the players are allowed to go off plot quite a bit, I tend to carry a lot of minis with me to handle new encounters.
Having all the paper minis is a LOT lighter than plastic or (shudder) pewter/lead.
And I like the fact that you are all doing the important minis. Including the tough to find things, like your Clappyfaces (Sinspawn), Mounted Ripnugget, and Barghest. (And Crystal's Slurg).

I actually have lots more.
I've done 2-3 sets of each PF set, and I have all of the SJG Cardboard heroes (2 of each set from the 80's, then I have 3-4 of each from the big binder of all CBH Fantasy), plus most of the One Monk, PIGames, Vyllage on the Cheap, and Savage Worlds Minis.
And I have all of Dario Carullo's minis he did for Dark City Games. (Which have a special place in my heart because two of those sets were for my modules Little Black Book and Orcs Of The High Mountains...)
And thats just paper.
I have other sets from a while ago that I can;t remember the publishers...
But I am a Paper Mini Whore...I will buy all of them if they look good. (I hate the poser computer gen types, I prefer the ones like you guys do.)
