Why aren't the tokens (and maybe even the mini subscription) a GameMastery product rather than a Pathfinder line?


Paizo General Discussion


I dont have much to add to the title, obviously.

Any thoughts?

1) they both use art from pathfinder products

2) they aren't branded as gamemastery

3) the tokens are based off of specfic patfinder suscription books and the minis after heros and monsters seem to be the same

4) there are examples of monsters introduced just for pathfinder

That's what I can think of in under 10 seconds...


There's nothing about the Gamemastery line that says the products can't be related to Pathfinder. If Paizo can put in item cards based on adventure paths, why not pawns?

Yeah. My question is why?

The cards use art from pathfinder products too (for example) so keeping the two lines distinct doesn't seem a big concern. The chase cards feature pathfinder rules. The harrow deck is from pathfinder. The flip mats and map packs often feature in their pathfinder products.

We're soon to have a meeting to discuss some possible adjustments to our branding, and now that the pawns are starting to become an actual line, that'll be part of that discussion.


Cheers. I was just curious, of course - wondering what my new pawn subscription is going to be called. :)


Puzzle solved.


Would the minis even get to fall under the Gamemastery line, given that they're not a Paizo product?


I figure they could be named whatever paizo and wizkids agreed. (They're listed as pathfinder minis after all, despite being a third party product).

I remember thinking it odd that all these new product lines were coming out under the pathfinder brand when it seemed a more natural fit with the gamemastery stuff. Now it seems to me it was just an evolution as they began dropping the gamemastery name and leveraging the pathfinder brand more widely.

Gamemastery has been rebranded as a Pathfinder product.


Yeah. Puzzle solved. Turns out paizo are about a year ahead of me (as usual) :p

Officially I believe the blog post said we see it in Feb.


March/February. Near enough. :)

It all makes sense now, I just asked the question round the wrong way..
