Pathfinder Player Character Pawn Collection

Announced for December! Product image and description are not final and may be subject to change.

This. I now have my Christmas present picked out!

This looks like a fantastic product!

Great idea!

Is this the same cover as the Advanced Player's Guide?

Awesome!

Is this the same cover as the Advanced Player's Guide?

Given that this is WAR and it harkens to the first APG cover, I'd say yes!

What will the resolution of the pawns in the PDF be like?

I'd love to be able to buy the PDF and use the pawn art for online games, but in the past the resolution of pawn collections has been quite low.

I want it now.

Woot!
As a GM who both runs online games and also runs games for newcomers at conventions and elsewhere, these will be great!

multiple familiars and animal companions!

NICE

I'm looking forward for this one.

As a GM, I typically assign chess pieces to my players, or let passionate individuals bring their own minis, and these are certainly very cool... I'm gonna use them for NPCs nyeheheh

Argh, Paizo, why do you keep doing this to my poor wallet? Yet another must buy.

Excellent! :-)

Would love to see the same theme for a Full minis set!

Will these pawn be available in Europe through retail? Shipping prices are to expensive for European customerz.

All of our products are offered into all of our distribution channels but it is up to the different distributors as to whether they carry them or not. Asmodee in Europe tends to pick up everything but I have no idea whether they supply games into your region. Your best bet is to pre-order them through your local game store and see what they say.

When will you guys post the list of pawns included in this set like you do for every other pawn collection? I'd like to know first before I preorder.

Cool! Will these overlap at all with what's in the Beginner Box?

YES!! Finally some love for familiars and animals.

If I may offer a suggestion: I assume you have reasonable-size art for the pawns included in this product. Would it be possible to get those released as tokens for Roll20 (and other VTTS I assume)? The free Character Art Pack is really nice, but a bit limited.

I would also like to request a version of the .PDFs for the various pawn collections for VTTs. The oval-arch design might work for the cut-out method. But for those of us for want to use these designs for Foundry or Roll20, it's much harder to convert them into circular pogs with borders.

There are some pawn sets available in the marketplace on Roll20, but I never use them, as I prefer to just upload my own pdfs. But, they do seem to be missing the mark in that there could be a lot more product available for VTTs that isn't being offered.

Is there a reason Half-orc Champion and Half-orc Fighter are the same art?

Tokens for VTT (Fantasy Grounds) would be very cool!

The PDF is very low-res. Is there a better version of this? I don't think this is worth getting if it's so hard to appreciate the details of the artwork.

Player Character Pawns are great, but with new Ancestry Guide, it would be even better to have expanded Pawns for new races, as well as the old ones, which didn't make it to this collection.

I wouldn't mind seeing an ancestry guide pawn collection, for sure. Though I'm not sure if the market's there by comparison.

Ugh, when is this being restocked? :(

I don't think it will be restocked. Paizo has cancelled the pawns line.

Wow, that is good to know. Thanks!

It's a shame, I've been picking up the pawns along and this would certainly be on my to-buy list.

It's not just the characters in the Character Guide and the Ancestry Guide but also the classes in Guns & Gear, Dark Archive, and Book of the Dead that would be fun to see in a "Pathfinder Player Character Pawn 2". I wonder if Paizo could find a way to survey players and then begin a Kickstarter to see if there's enough interest for them to make money off of something like this.

As per our “Paizo Subscriptions Update” blog on Friday, July 8th, 2022, we’ve announced the sunset of the pawn line for both Starfinder and Pathfinder. Paizo will keep the core pawns (Bestiaries for Pathfinder and Alien Archives for Starfinder) and the bases (Pathfinder Pawns: Base Assortment and Starfinder Pawns: Base Assortment) in stock for as long there’s enough demand.

I will advocate internally for this product to be considered core. But the pandemic has not been good to accessories, so I don’t have a clear answer at this time.

Considering the discontinuation of the pawn line, could it be possible to get a HQ file for us to print ourselves?

I only just found out this product existed. It's a real shame it's sold out. With Pathfinder's newfound popularity perhaps there will be enough demand to bring the Pawns line back. Here's hoping.

This product is out of stock. While we consider next steps, check out the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide NPC Pawn Collection. Many of them can be used as PCs.

For the .pdf version of these pawns, can the red cutting line surrounding each pawn be toggled on/off? (I'm assuming no, but also hoping that I'm wrong and that the error lies between keyboard and chair :) ).

I prefer circular flat tokens at my table (ala the good old 3.0 starter set tokens), and would like to print and cut these out. Having a red line cut through the picture is quite distracting, however, and has really put me off using Pathfinder Pawns products.

(Toggling the cut lines would, I expect, also be helpful for folks playing on VTTs. Looking at some crafting threads elsewhere, having the cut lines as a separate 'layer' would also seem to help folks having these professionally printed and cut. An option that seems more important now, given the discontinuance of printed versions of most Pawns products).

If this option does not currently exist, could this please be added as a feature to your pawn .pdfs? (It seems like this is something that would be straightforward to add, since someone had to add the red lines overtop of the art when the .pdfs were created?)

I'm just commenting to further advocate for bringing back this pawn product. I absolutely love these and have bought nearly all of the bestiary boxes and would LOVE more options for PCs and NPCs. The pawns are an outstanding value for what they are and breathe a lot of life into games without breaking the bank for full minis. I do sincerely hope that as in-person games are becoming more frequent more pawn lines are brought into the core offerings.

I love these too, and if they were going to continue producing them I'd continue buying them. That said, I think I have every one they've produced to date, so I probably have enough. :-)

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback!

Sir I hope you can convince the shot callers that Player Character Pawns should be considered core products like the Bestiary Pawns. The surge of interest in PF2 will for sure bring in new players and these new players will need pawns to properly depict their characters.

Thank you for your internal advocacy for this product.

Happy to see others like the pawns so much. I'm just coming from D&D 5E (the Pathfinder Beginner Box is amazing), and one of the things I'm appreciating most in comparison is the extremely useful accessories. It makes play so much easier and more fun. I'll be getting all the pawns I can before stocks dwindle and I hope there's enough demand in the future for Paizo to pick the line back up, maybe even for select adventure paths. Having adventure and supplement-specific pawns, maps, and battle cards is just *chef's kiss*.

Thanks all. We are talking out the right next step, which may be a reprint or a new product.

I'll be a little philosophical and say that part of Paizo's Mission is to support "cooperative strategic play." Our pawns, Foundry tokens and Wizkids minis, for example, are a way to do that. We understand their importance.

I once used gummy bears and Swedish fish as a GM, which was fun when you got to eat the defeated, but I think Paizo can do a little better. :)

I'm so excited to find these pawns, as miniatures are prohibitively expensive nowadays. I see whispers that they may not get made in the future? If so, add my name to the list that says keep going! I bought several of these pawn packs today, and I plan to buy more. I really hope they start making them for Adventure Paths again as well

Perception to Sense Motive, I feel this is a hint that Paizo will be releasing candy mini's. I'm sure I rolled a nat1, but Sense Motive is a secret check so I'll never know.

Thank you so much Sir. Just saw it is back in stock. Immediately bought a copy. Thank you again :)
