Instead of miniatures, I use counters. The following link is for a PDF of over 170 counters to use in the Burnt Offering Adventures. I think that all the monsters are included, even a few spiders for summoning.
You just have to print it on a WHITE FULL SHEET LABEL (Avery 5165/8165) ; apply it on cardboard (cereal box) and finally, take out a good XActo and cut the 170 counters.
I hope you will enjoy that tool as much as my players do.
Excellent! I like all the PC counter options. Thorough job.
Cool! Did you do these yourself?
Whats the likelyhood of you doing it with the other pathfinders? Or alternatively, explaining in dimwit terms (so I can understand) how to go about doing this myself.
Thanks DW
Very cool sir!

Yes I did it myself, I just started to work (or play) on Skinsaw Murders. I will post it when I'm through.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to do that. You need the following:
1- A drawing software, I use Photoshop
2- An editing software. I use Quarkexpress, Publisher or Word would do fine too. You need a software that can do 1" square and import and resize pictures.
Almost all the pictures I use are from the web, just right click on the picture and select copy picture (not the link). Then you paste it in your drawing software to work on it if you need to. The snapshot tool of adobe reader allows you to get pictures you want from .pdf documents.
My main source is the
D&D Art & Map Gallery Archive. I also use Fiery Dragon Productions Counters

These are fantastic, thanks!
One suggestion for future versions: 'shop some numbers into the corners of each counter. Knowing that it's "Gobbo #7" that has initiative on this round is very helpful. I generally use d6 for my monsters, which is a pain when there's more than 6 mobs in an encounter. These will be great to have.

It's faster and more flexible for me to put the number by hand. You can also confuse metagaming players and make them wary by having a "Gobbo #44" guarding the gate.
I will probably complete Skinsaw Murders counters tonight while watching the hockey game.
These are awesome.

Good point, though I always just reset the numbers in every encounter. If you kill Gobbos 1-3 in this room, that doesn't mean that Gobbo 1-12 aren't just around the corner.
Again, thanks!
