Please, try to not give us 5 copies of specific monsters that we already have a bunch of pawns. Like succubi or babaus.
Also, take note of the image sizes before publishing the final product, the most complaints i hear about the pawns are images that dont fit the pawn and has hands, weapons, limbs and other details cut out of the pawn because the image was too big. Most of the Iron Gods pawns got that issue and it was a let down in that aspect (otherwise its a great pawn collection). Few adjustments on the images would have solved the issue with a day or two of work.

I don't mind a little bit of image "overflow". It helps make sure you can keep the pawns in the right spot if you keep them in the screw. They're not always placed numerically.

I've bought every pawn box to date and most of the pawn sets and have only had a misprint issue with one sheet in the Inner Sea Pawn Box where the art was to the side and the art was literally hanging off the pawn.
I am impressed by the continued quality of pawn set after set. The occasional art overlap is inevitable and necessary to keep the sizes correct. It has not been an issue at my table.

Thanks for the reply @Vic. Though i was aware of that answer already, i was just trying to voice what people on my circles say about the pawns. That is really their ONLY complaint about my pawn collection everytime i put new pawns on the table.
The iron gods set was particularly mentioned because the bleed happened on many pawns, with guns cut in half or other "cool weapons" (like the mechanic axe) not being fully shown on the pawn.
Other cases were when an image, for the sake of being exactly in the middle of the pawn, had a bit of space on one side, but the other side has part of the image cut. Im not sure if being exactly in the center is that important for pawns, as i have seen monsters (and npcs too) that arent exactly aligned to the center and are still good pawns.
That is less of an issue when talking about huge pawns, when there is enough space to fit all the image.
I know that scale is important and understand your point, im just giving you my feedback on the product. :)
If this isnt the proper place, you can remove my posts.

This looks extremely useful, and not just for the GM.
The only problem that I foresee is if there is summoning going on on both sides of a battle, and both PCs and hostile NPCs summon the same creatures. Maybe a well-prepared table needs to have two of these. :)
Having two copies will not solve the real problem. How will you keep track of which summons are from the PC and which from the NPC?

I use these. Although sometimes I need to put a little glue to help hold them to the pawn bases (might have been a bad batch though).

I was kinda hoping paizo would produce differently coloured bases (blue, red, green for instance) though your suggestions might work too.
I have expressed the same wish myself; however, it probably isn't worth it for them. :-/
On the bright side, I find that the "loom bands" are cheap, easy to find, and work on all three bases sizes. Just stretch them over the clip that holds the pawn before placing the pawn in the base. Works great for me.

How many copies of each pawn will there be?
It varies by monster, but we tried to give as many as we could of some of the "common" low-level summoned monsters, so you can get your full 1d4+1 creatures when you use a higher-level spell to summon lower-level monsters.
We'll probably post a full list of what's included when we get a little closer to the release date.

Man, this looks great. Will definitely be convincing my players to pick this up... it won't be hard. They love pawns.
Wow. That is an amazing list! The only omission I noted would be T. Rex. Maybe I am erroneously assuming one can summon those...
Gargantuan monsters don't get pawns, so the T-rex gets left out.
Cheers!

Ah! Thank you, that makes sense.

Updated with final product image, description and set list!
A great set even with the price increase.
The level 1 Riding Dog is missing from the list - is that a mistake or is it really not included?
The omission of 6 out of 10 mephits is understandable as is the omission of the level 6 Brachiosaurus, Dire Croc, Dire Shark, Roc and T-Rex since they are all Gargantuan.
But the medium Riding Dog is arguable the best level 1 monster...
Thx in advance Chris

This set is great.
The only omission i can not understand is the medium "Riding Dog" because it is only medium and the most used level 1 summoned monster.
Is this a mistake or a concious decision not to include it because of space reasons? One could use the Goblin Dog as Riding Dog...
Thx in advance Rob!
PS: I took measurements and 4 GARGANTUAN (4x4 squares) minis would find place on one card sheet of the size Paizo is using.
That would make it possible to make a "Gargantuan Monsters" pawn set.
For a price of $25 you would only have to use 4 images per sheet and could include all gargantuan monsters from the first Bestiary (i think there are 17 in it) in one set.
Of course you would need to offer Gargantuan Bases for the people who don´t want to use a huge or 2 large bases... ;-)

riding dog was changed to small dog for SM1 and so not used as much as the eagles by most.

As Jeff Morse said, riding dog was changed to dog with the 4th printing of the Core Rulebook. You can get the errata that updates whatver printing you have to the latest printing (6th) here.

Thanks for answering that Jeff and Rob.
On another note, i wish Paizo would stop changing things that were not broken as in this case.
But that discussion is in another forum i think.
So still great set, i´ll buy it even if november has way too much "minis" with "The Rusty Dragon Inn", "Iconic Heroes 4" and this set. ;-)
