The pawns are nice but that might make more sense with FGU because they are meant for stand-ups.

davison, I would prefer to have those before FGU. I hate top-down tokens and prefer pogs or frontal tokens. I doubt I am the only one with this view?

You aren't the only one by a long-shot.

I think you mistake Doug's words or aren't familiar with what the Paizo pawns are. Pazio pawns are 3D standees: https://paizo.com/pathfinder/miniatures/pawns Hence Doug's referral to making more sense in FGU, which might end up looking something like this: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post270659 (Nothing official - just trying to portray what the Paizo pawns are more aligned to).

As Doug says, there will be tokens with the official Bestiary module, which are based off the art in the Paizo bestiary.

Will that cost include a copy of the pdf?

Smiteworks doesn't sell the pdf's. You'll have to get those from Paizo.

Trenloe, I own all the pawns from prison, but I doubt many know what they are. I find that the scans make for great frontal tokens. Yes they are designed like 2d miniatures, but the images could be frontals.

I like those possible but unofficial mock-ups. It solves the problem that comes with 3-D models, which is making a lot of content. Anyone who understands alpha layers could make tokens like that for the masses!

I hope you didn't get the pawns from prison! You know we frown on nefarious sources on these forums. ;-)

Your questionable sources aside, compare the artwork of the "Bestiary Box 1" pawns with the artwork from the Bestiary 1 PDF. You'll find the Paizo pawn products are made from the same artwork contained in the PDF product.

The tokens in the Bestiary 1 FG module are made from the PDF artwork. From your comments so far, I don't think you'll be too disappointed in them.

As Martin says, it is basically full body portraits for the pawns versus cropped versions from the same artwork, but better designed to fit into squares.
