Yeah, I looked at all of those card minis from Seven Wonders and was like, wow lots of great choices! On the plus side, my wife wanted to pick up a new printer this week, so while I probably won't send cardstock through it, I can print to my hearts content again and then use spray adhesive to attach it to cardstock, which is what I've been doing since my old printer stopped pulling paper.

Those paper friends are amazing. I think I'm going to try some out. For miniatures I've had great luck repurposing Star Wars & Hero Clix minis. I mostly buy from Auggies or Miniature Market. I've paid as little as 10 cents up to about a dollar for most of my minis. Many of the Super Heroes are in dynamic flying poses and are not much use to me but a lot are in tamer, more relaxed poses. Sometimes I have to throw a coat of darker paint over the lime green tights the mini started with but most turn out well. With the Star Wars figures a coat of silver turns that light saber into a sword and I've clipped off laser guns or converted them to hand crossbows. Gamorian guards are orcs as is. Some of the Hero Clix figures already have swords or bows so they are easy conversions. Like I said, I rarely spend more than a dollar. Oh and if you do modern stuff there are tons you can use as is. I have a ton for my zombicide games too.

Our own beetlewing posted this on YouTube- certain Billy V /Imex sets are really good for NPCs:
Another good set they make for NPCs is Pilgrims and Eastern Indians. Great stuff including an awesome Shaman type and lots of goodies.

Basing I re-read through and saw a question on basing the minis.
I think the paper friends site goes with the assumption that of the tent fold. Fold on the lines so the name will be on the underside of the base.
Washers or woodsies would work.
Also you can modge podge them to the foam like art paper they use for lot of kids projects. They will then be very sturdy and fit the same bases as the Pathfinder Pawns.

I'm doing a modern campaign, and at a few different points the players are going to find themselves in crowded towns with regular people. I didn't want to get or try to make a bunch of random people to be standing around and for them to interact with, but I wanted them to have that. This website is perfect, thanks!

Sorry to resurrect this dormant thread, but holy crap, these townspeople are awesome! Unfortunately, the website has been either hacked or abandoned. Does anyone have printer-quality files of these townspeople? Or the whereabouts of where they may currently be found?

I think that Wyloch's method is the best way to create paper miniatures.
Because you can find an image online and edit it to the correct size and print it.
As for basing...washers!!

His tutorial is great, no question. But there are some really specific images I'm looking for from that Seven Wonders set that are perfect for my campaign, and I prefer the tent fold, Cardboard Heroes style look. If anyone knows where that website went, or has a set of the townfolk from it, please let me know.

Well you can find a lot of print-ready miniatures (paper friends,cardboard warriors,printable heroes) [Actualy this is what I used to do before switching to the "wyloch method"] Wyloch also links a video about making your own using hero forge screenshots...so you can create specific npcs!

I finally figured out how to navigate back to the paper friends pages on Seven Wonders. It's a bit of a process, but they are all still there via the wayback machine. I didn't know about the vid for Hero Forge paper minis. I have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!

Reaper has added a few more npc types in bones, not entirely sure if they're listed as townsfolk or not, but I'm getting a few to add to my collection.
Lead Adventure has a LOT of them in their range.
You can also find a lot of rather cheap ones around now as part of various village sets that work well enough for them. I used to have a rather nice boxed set of villagers for a Bethlehem village set that I'd found a LONG time ago which I had to paint up, but was a great thing.

Try looking at people for model railroad layouts.

I found some medieval plastic figures at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. The various sets included commoners, aristocrats and monks (religious not kungfu). I glued them to 3/4 inch fender washers and they became excellent innocent bystanders. Unfortunately I believe that they are no longer carried by Hobby Lobby but there may be alternative sources.
