I am a big fan of the Pathfinder Pawns. I like minis don't get me wrong but can't stand the random draw. I'm one of those unfortunates that does not have money....
So for me to be able to purchase the pawns and know what I'm getting is a big deal!!!
Wouldn't it be great if Paizo would produce a pawns box that was just full of average joes?
Tavern goers, village people, thespians, farmers, everyday nobility and such?
A townsfolk set would be an awesome idea!! They could do it as a cast of extras type of thing, perhaps throwing in pawns for things like carts, market wagons...some basic scenery pieces.

Perhaps you might be interested in The Townsfolk of Sandpoint?
I mean it isn't the Pawns but it is nice.

Those are fantastic! Does anybody have any ideas on what kind of cardstock or what-not would work best to get the kind of quality print that the Pathfinder Pawns come.

I printed mine out on 110 lb card stock from Office Max. Here is the thread that has a link to a picture.
If you want to make your paper minis more like actual pawns, I found this link.
You might also want to look at the Citizens of Himmelveil from World Works. Check the various pages since there's both a 3.5 version and a Savage Worlds version of the character backgrounds. The artwork is very nice on these too.

Fantastic! Now I have to know how you printed out that Glassworks Map!!! I was so disappointed when they didn't release that as a flip-map like they did the Sandpoint town square & gate.

Nice! Very diverse group of figures too!

The glassworks wouldn't work really well as a flip-mat. It's too big; they would seriously have to compromise the design to make it fit.
As far as printing it out, it's fairly simple:
1) Download GIMP (or whatever image editing tool you want to use) and PoseRazor.
2) Copy the map you want to use. For example, I use the "Take a Snapshot" tool in Acrobat Reader. I highlight the area I want and the "snapshot" is saved to the clipboard.
3) Open GIMP. "Paste" your copied image to GIMP.
4) With the measuring tool, measure the width of one square. You might need to zoom in a bit to get an accurate measure. Note how many pixels wide the square is (it should say this at the bottom left of the GIMP screen).
5) Next, select the "Image" menu, then select "Scale Image". In the middle of this page, you will see "X Resolution" and "Y Resolution" as well as a drop-down menu to the right. Make sure the drop-down menu is selected to "pixels/in". Set the X Resolution to whatever the number was that you measured in Step 4. Set the Y resolution to the same number if it doesn't automatically change. Push the "Scale" button.
6) Save the image as a .JPG file.
7) Input the .JPG image into PosteRazor. (Double check the resolution to make sure the dpi is the same number you measured and scaled in GIMP.)
8) In step 2, select the paper size you wish to use. Set the borders to "0".
9) In step 3, decide the overlap you want in order to put your map together. I use "2 cm" and "Bottom Right".
10) In step 4, select "Size in Percent" and set to 100%.
11) Save as a .PDF in step 5.
12) Open the .PDF file, if it hasn't already done so. Before you print, make sure to set your printer settings to BORDERLESS, otherwise you will have to trim every page. On mine, when I click the printer icon, and the print page comes up: push the "Properties" button, select the "features" tab, make sure "Borderless" is selected.
To put the pages together, I use white glue for the seams. I start at the center of the map and glue each page together. I found that alignment issues aren't as severe when gluing a page at a time. When I did the glassworks, it printed out on 15 pages (3 rows of 5 pages). I glued the five pages of each row together before gluing the rows together and ended up having things not match up quite as nicely.
Once glued together, I flipped the map over and put scotch tape on all of the seams.
Hope this helps!

The NPC Codex Box will cover some of the things you desire. (Unless, by "village people," you meant a construction worker, a biker, a cop, a cowboy...)

Going by that list... can we assume the NPC Box has an Indian?
