If I'm reading between the lines correctly it would seem that the Campaign Setting Conversion notes are the hold up for the online supplements.
I would rather see the AP stuff dropped than loose the art and maps!
Incorrect. The thing that's holding up BOTH the Campaign Setting conversions AND the art/map supplements is the fact that Paizo has X employees, and we're increasing the amount of work everyone's doing as the company grows. Which means that we all have less time to work on everything, and have to do a bit of triage on duties. The editorial staff might get their work done on the art/map supplement in an hour, but when we turn over the files to layout, they might not have a chance to work on them for a week, and when they're done and kick them back to us for final proofs, we'll be busy getting a magazine off to press and won't be able to work on them for another week. And so on. Combine this with something like convention season, which tends to slow EVERYTHING down, and presto, you have something that would only take a few days at most to do if everyone involved was doing nothing else suddenly taking weeks, or even months.
It's frustrating, and I've been doing what I can to keep things moving.

Thanks for getting 139 supplement out the door James, the maps are handy, and looking at the artwork (with correct brightness levels) is cool too!
Now put that chain back on your ankle, you know the one firmly attached to your desk! ;)

The next few supplements should be coming pretty soon, and the conversions should be soon as well. We spent a fair amount of time last week getting them ready, and most of them are in the last rounds of work before they head online.
It's possible we'll be mostly caught up by the end of the week.

James, we appreciate your efforts ... keep up the good work!
Need help, James?

Granted I am really busy with work and school, but I am already college edgemicated (going for second degree now).
Do you guys do contract work? I'd make your guys stuff a priority over work, house, wife (if you tell her, I'll deny it).
James, we appreciate your efforts ... keep up the good work!
I just wanted to echo this sentiment. Thank you, Paizo Staff, for all of your hard work and extra goodies you all provide. You already create a terrific magazine. Online supplements aren't the icing on the cake: they are another cake you've baked for us altogether!

Thanks for dispelling my concerns. I hope it did not appear that I was part of the hurry up and give it to me crowd. I'm not running the AP for a few months.
I suppose I was trying to merely voice that if it came down to it I would rather see some of the parts fall by the way side before the whole tool. On the other hand, it is refreshing to see a company NOT sacrifice quality. I deeply appreciate all the hard work you guys do!
