The positive response to the ones we included there convinced us that we needed to get more out ASAP.It pretty much covers the Bestiary. It is not exhaustive, but it's pretty close. I had to trim some things like herd animals in order to focus on more interesting critters, but I don't think too many folks will mourn the stuff that isn't in there. There will be new illustrations for some creatures that do not already have pawn-appropriate art (such as the various differently sized elementals and dragons), and the pawns only go up to Huge creatures. Gargantuan and Colossal pawns don't really make sense, as they'd basically take up an entire sheet and would require enormous bases with the attendant mold charges. So to keep things practical (and affordable), we drew the line at Huge. Once you break down the Bestiary by size, however, you realize that there aren't really that many monsters in the largest size categories, so I was comfortable making those cuts. There are more than 300 pawns in this box, though, so I consider it pretty value-packed, and I'm confident with the decisions made on which monsters to include. Some more common creatures get multiple pawns, by the way. It didn't seem right to include only a single orc or goblin or what have you.It's pretty feasible. Ask me again in a few months and I ought to be able to tell you exactly how feasible. We are still working out exactly how these will fit into various subscriptions (or if they will be their own), but I'm confident that folks who want to subscribe will be able to. And I also strongly suspect they will be available as PDFs (and free PDFs for subscribers, at that). Please remember that we need to solicit these products 10 months in advance for the book market, so there's still time to work out specific details like subscriptions. But we are on the case!Glad people are excited about these. I can't wait!--Erik MonaPublisherPaizo Publishing</blockquote>
