Hi everyone,

One more quick poll to start the new year. Are paper-minis a thing? 

You know, those printable 2D pawns that you can glue on the cardboard and put on small plastic stands to substitute miniatures. 

Additionally, it would be possible to make those round digital tokens, "pogs", out of these with very little effort. 

So, I'm asking you if you would be interested in sci-fi and cyberpunk-themed paper minis? 

Some Starfinder Beginner Box pawns for reference: 

and one from Printable Heroes:

I use digital minis very heavily (on Foundry), but don't like the "built-in circle border" style for square grid maps - I use simple square crops of the art instead. The side/headshot style works much better for this than top down, so paper mini style is great for me, even though I can't imagine using physical versions. So I've ticked "digital minis" but would be really grateful if the (no border) base art could be available too (not just "pogs") so I can do my thing!

I like cardboard minis, but I'm well stocked on those, having several of the Paizo cardboard pawns. PCs typically are real minis when we gamed in person. We've always used a VTT like Roll20 for our map, even in person, updating the digital token to match after moving the physical mini. Worked great for ship combat too, where knowing your starting position is helpful, marked by the digital token--on a relatively featureless starfield we found it easy to lose your ships starting hex. Now that we game fully remotely, I'd say focus on digital tokens that look good on a VTT map (face and shoulders). It might be nice to have some full-body side views of some of the tokens in a size suitable for digital handouts.
