EDIT: Ooops, meant this for the minis thread, not the Beginner Box thread. Must seek out more coffee....

A few more details released by WizKids:

WizKids has released more details on its upcoming joint project with Paizo Publishing: the Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Fantasy Miniatures (see “Pre-painted Pathfinder Minis”). The minis set is on schedule to release in October, 2011.

The set will include four hand-painted miniatures, each on a one inch circular base, fully compatible with the Pathfinder role-playing game. These are all-new sculpts, created under license by WizKids Games.

Each figure in the set represents one of the characters from the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beginner Box, also scheduled to release in October (see “Pathfinder Beginner Box”). The characters are:

Ezren, male human wizard
Kyra, female human cleric
Merisiel, female elf rogue
Valeros, male human fighter

The minis will be packaged in a 5.75” by 9.25” clam shell.

PaizoCon is going on this weekend and a few small things have been hitting twitter regarding the Beginner Box. Supposedly combat is down to 8 pages. And another has said "it is not another Red Box but seems to be reimagined and rethought gateway to the hobby".

Azmyth is at this weeekend's Paizocon with two field digital recorders in hand. We will have all of the seminars and reveal on the miniatures, the beginner box, the new Adventure Path and a lot of other comments on a special PaizoCon Episode of the podcast. Shouldn't be too long to get this to you, either.

Not sure I like standies more than counters... will depend on how easy they topple.
