Maybe a mini set to go with the NPC hardcover? We have a ton of minis but it is still very hard to find one that matches closely with whatever monster/bad guys we're fighting at the time. The minis we treasure most dearly are the ones we use as PC's. Having an NPC set would be awesome because of the ability to use those as PC minis.Erik Mona wrote:It's certainly the current plan that some sets will NOT tie into the Adventure Paths, so if you're not a huge fan of that plan, you should be OK with how things develop over the next few sets.

<p>And I can live with the NPCs substituting the ‘generic’ human barbarians, although the only request I would make is could we have more than one across multiple sets? So you aren’t using the same ‘human barbarian’ over and over, and especially if you have one in a party. </p>
<p>And that request would apply for other classes, as well.</p>
<p>Honestly, what I would love to see more of is nobles, farmers (peasants) or even children. We use all of them often enough during our sessions.</p>That’s great to hear, thanks Erik!

It appears they're slowing down on the new feat/race/class/spell books, which I consider to be a big positive. The NPC codex is particularly promising, sticking as it does to the Core Rulebook. I'll be picking that up, and probably Ultimate Campaign as well. The gamespace sounds amazing, and I'm really looking forward to Shattered Star.
