Will all of the maps from the Shackled City adventures be available online? I want to run the adventures for my group and it would help to have the maps without relying on the magazine for them.
Thanks,

It's our goal to provide as many downloadable resources as we can on the new site. Of course, it might take us awhile to get everything online, given just how much content Dungeon, Dragon and all the other magazines produce each month!

Yes, that would be great. Or perhaps a single module-style book with all of the installment of the adventure path bound together???

I think that the adventure path bound together is a marvelous idea. Is it feasable for Paizo to embark on such a venture ?
I would love to see the Adventure Path in one bound edition. I currently have all of the issues (after having to order some back issues) and I would still be willing to buy a single edition of the whole Adventure. It would be great if Paizo did this to maybe add some extra content, like extra stat blocks and pictures of the NPC's in the game as they advance, other general art work (like having Brom do a new cover), and extra small things.
I figure one of the holdups would be that the series uses monsters from outside the d20 license, such as the dark stalkers and the pyroclastic dragon, just as examples. This would require some sort of deal with WotC to allow their use.
However, I really wish they would do this.
One thing I really like is the readability of the new format. My eyes are getting a little older, and reading text that is run overtop of background images is tough. The new format seems cleaner that way.
I also prefer the simpler cover. I like to see the cover image without all the text over it. The new logo is fine with me too.

Seems strange - doesn't WOTC own Paizo?
Nope... as far as I know, they're separate companies. WOTC wanted to get out of the magazine publishing biz, and others didn't want to see Dragon & Dungeon fold, so Paizo was created.
Course, I could be wrong...

WotC owns Dungeon and Dragon (as well as some or all of the other Paizo publications) and licences the right to publish them to Paizo. Paizo, however is an independent company. So WotC does not own Paizo.
If Paizo where to publish the adventure path outside the magazine, they cannot use the licence they have to publish non d20 material owned by WotC (such as the above mentioned monsters). In other words, they need a new licence.
Of course, the whole problem could be solved if Paizo licenced the adventure path content (without the monsters) to WotC, who could then add their own monsters and publish the adventure path. Problem is that WotC no longer publishes adventures....
quite the conundrum.
