It's technically for another system but comes with over 300 cardstock pawns (full color, same image front and back) along with a pile of bases for a wide variety of creatures and sizes. There are several collections (I have the Bestiary Box and the NPC Codex) but you can get away with subbing in something that resembles your enemy instead of buying them all.\r\n\r\n\u0026amp;#x200B;\r\n\r\n\u0026amp;#x200B;","subreddit_name":"DnD","author":"Viocade"},{"body":"It looks like to me he's using the pathfinder pawns, which happen to work very well for dnd and it's very cost effective compared to regular minis.

Basically, they're picture of monsters on sturdy cardboard that are held in these plastic holders.

It's very much a whole new hobby. It's fun, they look cool on the board, etc. But it's expensive and extremely time consuming.\r\n\r\nI'd suggest just buying a box of [Pathfinder Pawns](https://www.amazon.com/Paizo-Inc-Pathfinder-Pawns-Bestiary/dp/1601255616/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pathfinder+pawns\u0026amp;qid=1553195803\u0026amp;s=gateway\u0026amp;sr=8-1).
