I'm wondering if there is any plan to release one of these for each of the larger sets (or more/less frequently than that)?
I've got a couple of credits which will expire in January and would really like to use them on something other than the initial pack (which I have also got). It's probably getting a bit late for two different packs to be released, I guess - but if it happened to be something super-useful (like a pack of goblin repaints, for example :)) then it would be great to snag a couple before January.
Apologies if this has been covered somewhere, I didnt see anything about it from recently.
Fantastic. Thanks, Erik. :)
I've been waiting until after Gen Con*, just in case there'd be some news released there, but I didnt see anything (I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction if Wizkids did make some kind of announcement). Hence, I'll give this a bump.
There's no great stress, but it would be useful to have a bit of choice as to where we can use our H&M discount codes if that's a possibility. (Plus it's always good to hear about upcoming cool stuff). :)

WizKids came up with a new tack on Encounter Packs that have caused them not to happen as quickly as we'd expected... but when they do happen, they will be *much* cooler.
I think the only thing revealed about them at Gen Con is that there are a couple in the works, and some of them tentatively include some minis that are bigger than Large.

Vic, would it be possible to point out to them that it would be really nice to get an alternative to champions of Evil released before people's subscriber vouchers run out in early January...

Sounds terrific, thanks for the info. Hopefully we'll see one before Christmas. It would be good to have some choices to apply our H&M codes to.
It's not your fault there's only one Encounter Pack out, so I'm going to have those codes extended by six months.
Thanks Vic, I really appreciate that. Hopefully, it will be a moot point and Wizkids will unveil the new-direction encounter packs before they expire anyhow. :)
I am very interested in this line of thinking/products.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Guys, the truth is that this has been a tougher product category for us to lock down than we'd expected. We _do_ have Encounter Packs in development, but we're not quite ready to talk about them.
Expect news some time after the Shattered Star set releases later this month.
Cool. I don't think there's any urgency, but its great to have a bit of variety through repaints. I don't know how we'll received it was overall, but I was a big fan of tying the first pack to a module, fwiw.
I'm really hoping for a goblin pack (and somewhat hopeful, since the goblin singles seem to have sold well).

I'd rather have a very nice, very useful pack as opposed to something that was just rushed out for the money. Just some sort of hint or concept art to tide us over world be nice! :D
I will say this: I think Steve Geddes will be happy.
Woohoo!
(Not that predicting I'll be happy with a Paizo/Wizkids product is a particularly bold prediction in itself. :p)

Vic, back in August you mentioned that you'd extend the discount for purchasing the encounter packs. Are you still planning to extend them so we can use them?We did already extend them once. I'll look into where that stands, and extend them again if need be.
The codes are good for 1 year from issue date.
I'm adding a year on to all existing unused codes, so even ones granted for the first Heroes & Monsters cases that went out won't expire until January 2014.
Will that catch the ones that expired unused? (I had two unused H&M codes which expired on the third of January, for example).
No worries, Vic. Just got the email and the codes which had expired are now visible again.
Thanks.

What do you know, you were right.
