In my constant search for new good paper minis I saw this new product on RPGNow. This is the first product ( on RPGNow ) by this producer ( Slam Schultz blog ). These figures are not really paper minis as are designed by us in this forum. They are "classic" paper dolls. Or better ( fantasy ) "Tabletop Gaming" paper dolls. As the author calls them. But probably a downsizing and some small changes could transform them into good paper minis, imho. So I tried to buy them ( my curiosity is always pressing on my choices ). They aren't paper minis but they are brilliant, well designed ( with a sort of classic old school rpg hand ), with front and back, and above all are fun. Perfect for children and young boys as an introduction, but not only, for role-playing games and boardgames. The author also has other interesting projects in progress. A free online sword-and-sorcery comic called " Swordguys". There is also a patreon page, so if someone like this project, can helps. ... And there are many other paper dolls' sets on this page ( many are free ).

I saw these, perhaps even before you did, as I was looking for Kimerlin's latest. I love the personality in these, and they'll be perfect for playing with my sons. I'll be picking them up this weekend, but I've already printed out a trial page from his full-size preview. They are great fun, and that he took the time to hand-draw both front and backs to these whimsical creatures is a huge plus. I'm so glad you posted here about them, and that review that you've put in for him too. I emailed Sam directly yesterday, and invited him to join the madness here. I also had to caution him to reduce his full-size preview, so that he wasn't giving this set away for free, too. This set is _very_ much worth the asking price. Twelve pages (6 sets x 2 sides each) filled with paper minis, monsters, vehicles, and accessories, leaving less blank space than any other publisher I know. As it stands now, the sheets have a light yellow background, which I suggested he remove (for us ink-misers) or you can do it easily enough in GIMP. I've printed off a sample page, but haven't yet checked on the scaling - they are probably 2-3 times as big as necessary for d20 size. The bases are hand-drawn, informal things, but they match the style of the whole release. I think they'd be ideal on Inked Adventure tiles, and would work well alongside Dryw's Imperfect People and Leo Hartas/Fantasy Cutouts newly released Red Dragon PLAYRAMA set! Sadly, that last is only one-sided, but I still hope he'll release his other Playrama sets on RPGNow.

I bought the set and am very happy with it! When I printed out a sheet at 100%, the human figures were pretty close to 65mm from the sole of the foot to the eye-line. I printed some out at 46%, which made them about 30mm from sole to eye-line, which is the standard Jim set up for One Monk figures. They seem a little slight at that scale, but I'm going to print them out a little larger, and that ought to make them very compatible. I really like the character of these figures!
Have fun! Steve
