While the Jade Ravens only have a cameo appearance in the first adventure, I am assuming we'll see much more of them in the future, and likewise, will see some character portraits of each of them. If my assumption is correct, have you, dear Paizo, any current pics of them? If so, can we see some now?
I'm planning on drawing the campaign out, at least at its inception, over a period of time that may allow for a few more run-ins with the Ravens. I'd like to be able to see what they look like now. (Also, if their character sheets are drawn up, that'd be an awesome addition to the upcoming Web Supplement.)
What say you, dear Paizo?

The Jade Ravens appear in a more substantial role in issue #140's "The Bullywug Gambit." They have a cameo in "Sea Wyvern's Wake," and then probably won't be back on screen until issue #143, either in the adventure or the backdrop.
And alas, we'll have to wait unitl issue #143 at the earliest to see pictures of them; we just didn't have the budget to illustrate them in issue #140 or #139, and it doesn't make sense to illustrate them in an adventure where they don't really play a role.
Their stat blocks do appear in issue #140, though.

I understand the cost factor, but is it humanly possible to include their pics in the 139 web supplement? I know that's beyond the way you usually handle things, but it sure would be nice!

Sorry... it's not possible at all, since pictures of the Jade Ravens don't exist yet. We won't be ordering them until we start working on issue #144 (which is about 2 months away for us, and about 4 for the rest of the world).

If having portraits is that important to you (as it is to me), you have two options:
1) Wait to see if the portraits are published in #143 before starting the campaign.
2) [This is what I did.] Go find your own art (or draw it yourself). Wizards.com has downloadable character portraits. I chose 4 for the Jade Ravens and even drew a portrait of the halfling maidservant myself.

That's all I needed to hear. Thanks for being so candid.

I seriously considered #2, but thought before I go out and do something that crazy, why not see whether we can get the "real thing" from the folks at Paizo. Obviously not ... yet.
I can wait.
