RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

We haven't seen an Online Supplement since issue #139. Gonna need more to run the Savage Tide Adventure path past the first module. I'm one subscriber who requested online supplements years ago when Paizo took over publishing Dungeon, and I've been pleased with what you provide here. It's good work. But geeze, how hard is it to slam together a PDF of all the kewl art and cartography?
Dungeon Keepers, what's the deal?

The deal is that the people who put these supplements together are the same people who put 2 magazines and seveal other projcets together. When one person's done with their share, the next person is busy, and vice versa. Since there's multiple people on different schedules, a project that would take only a day or to do do if it was top priority turns into something that takes weeks. Further complicating matters are conventions (Gen Con throws us into chaos for about 3 months), holidays (Thanksgiving pretty much does the same but for 1 month), and snowstorms (which is pretty much shutting down productivity this week).
SO: We get these out when we can. We just turned over issue #143 earlier this week, and I'm going to try to get as many of the art/map and conversion supplements we can up and going this week before issue #144 takes over next week.
I'm as frustrated (perhaps more so) as well about how long it takes to get them online, trust me!
"Slow & steady wins the race" We hear ya JJ, just do what ya can when ya can! :)
James,
For what its worth, I would just like to say that though I appreciate the online supplements, I always look at them as a bonus, like finding two prizes in the bottom of the box of cereal. I buy your magazine for all of the great work you put <i>in</i> the mag.
The fact that you then provide an online supplement free of charge, is like getting a bonus. Get them up when you can, and if they aren't up in time for my adventure, I'll just use the information you have already given me in the magazine. (which is all I really need to run the adventure).
