Pathfinder Bestiary Pawn Box

I noticed on another site they are releasing a new box of bases.

PATHFINDER RPG 2ND EDITION: BESTIARY PAWN BOX BASE ASSORTMENT (PREORDER)

That doesn't include gargantuan either. And the "they" is a 3rd party seller, not Paizo

That's the replacement for this product; it will come in a box instead of a bag and has a few more bases. The paizo.com listing for it should go up soon.

Will it still have a random color medium base?

Yep, these should still include one random color medium base.

How many of these will be duplicates if one owns Bestiary boxes 1-6 already?

All of the art is new to my knowledge.

Are there any new creatures compared to 1-6?

There's a couple yeah.

Looking at the list in the description, pretty sure we’ve never had an animated broom pawn for one.

This box also features the first appearance of Treerazor in any format. That alone makes it worth getting for tables with plenty of existing pawns.

We get two pugwampis! Represent! :)

A Treerazor is a knife that shaves trees. Treerazer is a demon. Just saying. :-)

And yeah, Treerazer being in the box is sufficient justification for getting it. :-)

Outside of the box, which can be bulky, what would be the best way to transport and store these for a game session?

For transportation and storage, check this out.

Thank you!

That case looks awesome. I wonder how many cases would be needed to store *all* the PF (1&2) and SF pawns? Six? Ten?

I'm not sure as I haven't bought one (yet), but here's a bit from one of the reviews:

To give an idea of the space, I had room for Bestiary I, Bestiary II, Summon Monster, and Monster Codex pawns before I started to run out of room (though I has to store some of the larges sideways in the huge area, which still fit pretty well).

I'm new to pawns, but why are there stats on the pawns? Doesn't that encourage metagaming?

Nope, just monster artwork. Think of them as "flat" minatures.

why are there stats on the pawns?

Pawns don't have stats on them.

Did you confuse the Bestiary Pawns box with the Bestiary Battle Cards box?
Bestiary Battle cards

This product is pawns, in various sized to emulate the monster size on the battlemap. Nothing but artwork.

Well yeah, that's why I was worried when in the picture above, there's multiple numbers written on the pawns. One number seems to be what number it is in the set though. It just seems oddly distracting.

For example, the 13 on the Deep Gnome Rockwarden must refer to it being 13th in the set?

Yes these are just numers to identify the pawns. They have no game relevance.

Okay, thanks. Do you know if it's printed on both sides?

Yes, pawns usually have the same image on both sides.

Where is my Mu Spore? :(

Paizo hates Mu Spores, cause they are too big. ;-)

Too big, didn't fit into the box. Paizo doesn't do Gargantuan pawns.

Understandable that Paizo doesn't do gargantuan pawns (16 squares on the grid, possibly much larger).

Hasn't Wizkids done some gargantuan critters in the "Battles" line? Seems like a good niche. Expensive, though.

WizKids: They definitely do gargantuan paintable minis. Though, at that size and price, you may want to check the toy isle first. ToySmith's Magic Dragon has an okay paint job and though I haven't measured, should be around the right size for a dragon I'd imagine. If not, you could probably make a base for it at the right size.

A gargantuan pawn is large enough that we'd only be able to fit one on a page. We could fill the leftover space with mediums and smalls and maybe even larges, but that doesn't change the fact that we'd need to put a LOT of sheets in there to cover the number of gargantuans we want to cover. Furthermore, we don't offer Gargantuan bases, so we'd have to solve that problem as well.

I have created 3D models that you can print if you have a 3d printer or a friend with one:

Thingiverse

I have made colossal and gargantuan bases, I use them with smaller pawns, I made them square instead of round so they fill the entire space correctly also. I also have created medium numbered bases and other misc things for gaming.

Ah, that was you. I was really happy to see them online, and pestered my brother until he printed them for Christmas. Thanks a lot! :)

The Colossal one ended up with 5x5 squares, accidently - not sure whether it was the model or something else.

Anyone else seeing high shipping for this on their pending subscription order? I'm seeing $21 for shipping to Colorado. I know it's 7 lbs, but the other 7 items in the shipment come in at 5 lbs and are $7 to ship! The bestiary pawns are being shipped USPS priority, while the rest is standard postal.

I would guess they have to use a larger box at the higher rate due to the size of the pawn box being bigger.

Thank you for sharing these!

If you are someone who is sticking to PF1 until P2 is more seasoned, should I get this new set or try and find P1 Bestiary Box. I have been making due with beginner box pawns plus random miniatures and toys. It has been hard to find P1BB on the secondary market for "not hundreds of dollars"

You won’t find a cheap copy of the original. It’s out of print. Your best bet is to grab this one, as the pawns are useful for either edition. (You may not like the updated art is all.)

Yes, it is worth picking up for the unique Treerazer pawn which was not available in the previous edition. The rest of the pawns are most likely covered by the original Bestiary Box pawn set. However, those sets are going out of print, so this will be the only way to get more basic monsters to build one's armies for the foreseeable future.

Has anyone gotten their PDF or box yet?

Yes.

How do they look?

Just like previous pawns, just with the new artwork.

How different is the new art? I have a source on the old box for a reasonable price, but I like the idea of 100 more pawns. I am not sure about the new art though.

Would an average game utilize both P1 BB1 and P2 BB1 in Golarion setting with official source (not homebrew) material, or would it be better to have say P2 BB1 and Enemy Encounters?

I can't seem to find monster codex box anywhere for a reasonable price.

The art matches that of the new art in the new Bestiary, so all the monsters are recognizable.

And there’s really no such thing as an “average game” about what you’re asking.

I'd get both boxes -- or maybe 2 of the new box. There aren't enough common critters like zombies, skeleton, dire rats, goblins, kobolds, etc. to run many encounters in either box alone.

*scanning the pdf for pugwampi art*

Hmmm...interesting...mariliths seem to be continually getting more clothes as time goes on...

*gets to gremlin art*

O.O

YES!!!!

A much more dramatic and active style depiction! Something actually worthy or our greatness! Well done! :D

I have my beastiary box, but one page of the minis was printed upside down. The rounded side is on the bottom of each mini. It was the page containing the gelatinous cube.

If you contact customer support, they might be able to help you with that.

I pre-ordered these at a shop in WA state. What's a rough expected estimate?

You'd probably need to get that info from the shop you ordered from.
