Oooo! I'm actually using pawns for Monsters and N/PCs. The one thing the pawn sets are really missing though are just regular townsfolk. This sounds like it would be great for filling that missing role. The question is how hard would it be to turn these into pseudo-pawns? Specifically what could I print them on that would have the same thickness and all? hmmmmm

Several people have reported great luck printing them out on sticker paper and then onto the pawns (or onto cardboard of the same thickness as pawns).

Yup, I've been doing this for Curse of the Crimson Throne, and for other pawns I need to make. I would KILL for a blank pawn set though so I didn't have to use pawns that have something on them already for it.

Check out bookbinding board. Super thick, heavy duty, and ready to apply all the sticker paper you want to it.

Very cool idea!
Big thanks to Tarondor for the review!

Does anybody have an instructional video on Youtube?
*nudge nudge wink wink*
For the sticker paper? I think it's just a matter of buying the right brand, printing it and sticking it right on the pawn itself. It comes off when you're done.
I believe Cori Marie used Standard Avery Sticker stock.

Yeah, I can't drink tea fast enough to keep up with the need for boxes to keep the minis in!
And I drink a lot of tea.
So, what type of tea boxes do you keep your paper minis in? Do you modify the boxes in any way?
We also drink a lot of tea, and I'm strongly considering getting paper minis because they cost less per mini. I would love to see how others have stored them in a way that makes them last longer.
I'm strongly considering picking this set up to populate the village of Ravengro for the Carrion Crown AP that I am starting this Friday. That brings me to the question: Any plans to do Carrion Crown paper minis?

The boxes I'm using are ones that keeps 100 tea-bags (yes, I've resorted to using tea bags to get good storage for my paper-minis) which I don't modify in any way other than gluing the title of the adventure the minis is from onto the lid.
(The only problem is that minis bigger than 2 size-categories above Medium doesn't really fit on account of the base being too large.)

Here's an excellent tutorial on how to turn the Pathfinder paper minis into Pathfinder-style pawns:
http://rpghacker.com/rpg-hobby-games/diy-pathfinder-beginner-box-style-pawn s/
I've not done it myself though, as once I discovered the One Monk* style (full front & back paper minis with interchangeable stands, etc.) I can't go back to paper standees like these. The mirrored-backs are scarcely any better than solid sillhoutte backs.
I _REALLY_ wish that Callous Jack/Paizo would spring for double-sided minis. I love Callous Jack's art (the earlier minis I can pass on), they are Pathfinder-specific, and they fill gaps most other mini-makers don't (like townsfolk & other NPCs).
As it is, I'll only be picking up a set, maybe two at the most. They are almost, but not quite, worth the conversion on my own to full front-and-back.

It's a lot of extra work for the artist for a system that doesn't use facing.
That being said, that is a really awesome tutorial—thanks for sharing!

Ask Liz. :)

Time for the 1000 teabag box. :)

That is VERY good news!
My players are soon to enter Harrowstone. Unless the first set gets released very soon, I might miss getting that one. However, we only game once a month, so I may still end up needing it.
