Two Pathfinder news items today, both related to the Pathfinder RPG Beginner Box:

Bestiary Box
ICv2 have broken the news about Paizo's forthcoming Bestiary Box. This supplement will include over 300 monster stand-ups in the same style as the pawns in the Beginner Box, and will be released in May 2012 at a suggested price of $34.99. The news was confirmed on the Paizo messageboards by Erik Mona, who also stated that the larger-sized pawns would have improved bases, covering the correct number of squares on a battle-map.
Update: While this news post was being written, the product page has appeared on paizo.com!

Beginner Box Bash Mini-Adventures
Back in October, Paizo promoted the Beginner Box Bash events at game stores. These took the form of four short adventures that demonstrated the game to new players. Now that the Bash events are over, Paizo have released the demos as a free download. Beginner Box GMs will be pleased to know that the four mini-adventures form a sequel to the adventure contained in the box itself.

Best game company ever?

GMT Games, of course!

Great! I was hoping they'd produce more of those figures!

That Bestiary Box seems like a really good idea. I feel like stand-ups may be the happy medium I've been looking for between easy visual identification on the one hand, and managing a large miniatures collection on the other hand.

It's often a challenge for me to balance my desire for gaming bling, with the simple fact that I'd rather be spending time roleplaying instead of managing a miniatures collection at the table every time there's a combat encounter.
