As a feature request, since there are now enough different pawn sets to make it necessary, could someone put together an index--maybe in the wiki--that lists where each pawn is in what set?
For example, I'm running Skull & Shackles. It's not until the session after the current one that I find that the Skull & Shackles pawn set actually has a Canopy Creeper pawn and I didn't need to pull out the Shambling Mound from the Bestiary Box and say "Okay, plant creature with vine tentacles. Close enough." Then I want to have a horde of xtabay as are called for in the adventure. Can't find any in the S&S pawns, but do an internet search and find that they're going to be in the Bestiary Box II coming out later this month.
And that doesn't even get into wanting to pull monsters for my homebrewed games or for adventures written by other publishers.
I also realize that some people like to take their pawns out of all the cardboard, sort them, index them and whatnot, but that's not me. I prefer to keep them in the original cardboard, unpopped till I need them, and then pop them back in after the session. Since they now come with numbers next to them, this makes it extra useful for indexing, especially in the cases where I need multiple of a specific monster and there are multiples scattered throughout the various sets, as is the case with giant wasps for example.

I too keep my pawns in their original frames, and would appreciate such a resource.
It'd also be nice to be able to search for, say, "female orc warriors" and get a list of all the NPC pawns that fit that description, since I can't really get that information by scanning the lists on the back of the box/cover.

I have a spreadsheet I made of all the Pawns I own. Bestiary Box, Beginner Box, Runelords, Shackles and NPC box. I have it so the PC/NPC type pawns can be sorted by Class and Race, and every thing can be sorted by Size and Set, I also have a Quantity column to see how many I have.
