The characters, villains, and starships of the Dawn of Flame Adventure Path come alive on your tabletop with this collection of more than 100 creature and starship pawns, designed for use with the Starfinder Roleplaying Game or any tabletop science fantasy RPG. Printed on sturdy cardstock, each of these double-sided pawns slots into a size-appropriate plastic base from the Starfinder Pawns Base Assortment, making them easy to mix with traditional metal or plastic miniatures. With dozens of distinct images, the Starfinder Dawn of Flame Pawn Collection depicts the enemies and allies from all six adventures of the Dawn of Flame Adventure Path.
From elemental monsters to genie soldiers, find the enemies and allies of the Dawn of Flame Adventure Path on these beautifully illustrated pawns! While creature pawns are broken out by base size, all starship pawns use medium bases, from the tiniest fighter to the largest warship. The Starfinder Dawn of Flame Pawn Collection includes:
I bought the PDF version of this pawn collection because I'm running the AP online. I thought it would a quick easy way for me to get my pawns for my online game. The collection has the pawns you need. Even the ones that the books don’t have the art for. Unfortunately the pawn art comes out at a very low quality resolution. It looks really bad if you zoom in on the map online. Also the bottom of the pawns are covered in a bunch text and color coded dots. It has the pawn’s name, a trademark, and the dots to help tell pawns of the same type apart (the solo pawns have the dots too). I’d rather not have the name of the pawn out for the players to see, and I don’t know why any of that stuff has to block the pawn art. Just give me a good quality clean image of the pawn. That’s what I was hoping for, but not what I got.
Not all of us want our pawns with numbers, personally I prefer them without. These pawns are amazing, and if you are running this AP, well, then this is a must!
However, there are no numbers on the pawns, and no set IDs on the pawns. The 1e Pathfinder Bestiary Box pawn sets, as well as most of the other pawn sets produced for Pathfinder 1e, had a small setid tag (e.g. "B2" for Bestiary Box 2) and a number. This made it possible to keep track of pawns, figure out what you had, and then refile them after a gameday or convention was over and you came back with a set of pawns.
Not having those means that pawns will ultimately be harder to keep organized. It means for me that I have to write a small set ID and number on each pawn before I can use them.
Please bring back set IDs and numbers on pawns.
I'm very sad that this satement from Vic Wertz two years ago was not followed up upon : https://paizo.com/products/btpy9trh/discuss&page=2?Pathfinder-Pawns-Her oes-Villains-Pawn-Collection#72
It looks like after getting no releases in july 2019 (moved to august because of Gen Con), we'll get no products in september 2019 either.
This looks to begin shipping on september 30th to subscribers and having a street date of october 16th.
I wonder if this will be happening more and more in the future, with the only monthly products being the Pathfinder & Starfinder Adventure Path volumes.
It would makes sense financially, but it removes Paizo from the forefront of my mind.
Also while i really don't like the first three DoF installments (which i bought none the less), the art is top-notch and i'll be getting this pawn collection too. :-)
