Okay, I know that this may seem tacky to ask at this time, but I have to know: Will the supplements be completed thru #150? Could they please be completed? Will they be allowed to stay online after WoTc reclaims the two magazines?
I love Christopher West's current Maps of Mystery. They are just begging to be connected into one big map. The pdfs are the best source since they aren't cropped by the printer. Will West's map be finished by Issue #150? Please!
Thanks for all the labors of love. You guys rock!

I sincerely hope to complete the supplements through issue #150. Alas... the fact that we're working on GameMastery producs, Pathfinder, AND two magazines now leaves even less time for projects like online supplements. Or conversion notes. Or Tyralandi's journal. Or free time. Or sleep.
BUT. We'll get it done eventually. And once it's up, the supplements are staying. They don't go away when the magazines do.

Ahh! I was wonderng that myself... I'm not in a hurry since my group is still on the first installment of the AP.
[...] AND two magazines now leaves even less time for projects like online supplements.
Shoot, you mean I have to do some word myself ;)
But don't the conversion notes need to be approved by WOTC? I thought I remember that being mentioned somewhere a while back as part of the process before they are posted. Will they still participate in that process after September, and if they don't, does that mean the supplements hang in limbo?
I don't use the conversion notes myself, but I do like printing the maps and character illustrations, so I was also wondering what the fate of the supplements would be.

The approval notes do not have to be individually approved by WotC; they approve the Savage Tide as a whole in a lump sum and then let us run with it. Since we have Keith and Eric doing the conversion notes, and since the notes aren't canon for those campaign settings, it's more or less up to us. Of course... if we can't get them all done and up and online before our license ends, that'll probably throw a little kink into the system.
The online art/map supplements won't be impacted, save for by the fact that we've been working two jobs lately here at Paizo and haven't had much time left over to work on the supplements.

Thank you for all of your hard work. It is much appreciated. The Art/Map supplements for Dungeon are just an outstanding aid for DMing, I hope they continue to be posted and made available.
We'll get it done eventually.
Thank you James! This is a truly valuable part of the publication that I've really come to depend upon.
I sincerely hope that online map and art supplements continue with Pathfinder.

They kind of will, as in each installment of Pathfinder will have a duplicate PDF available. If you subscribe to Pathfinder, the PDF copy is free. Otherwise it costs money to get. In any event, the PDF will contain all the art and maps, just like the Dungeon supplements do now. But you'll get the words too.

Just to let you know, if it doesn't look like you guys will finish the supplements by the end of the license I would be very content with a quicky little PDF of just the maps for the missing issues. Nothing fancy, just something to get blown up to battlemap size at Staples.
Love you guys, keep up the good work!FH

No worries there, really. We're done with Dungeon in a little over a month, but our license goes until the last Dragon magazine his the stands or something like that in September or October. Which means that there's a few months there where we're done actually working on Dungeon, which means the Dungeon staff will be back to working one job instead of two (be that new job Pathfinder or GameMastery or Planet Stories). At which point there'll be a lot more time for us to pick up the pieces and get those last art/map supplements and the last FR/Eberron conversions up and running. At lest, that's how I hope it'll pan out...

Okay, talk to me. What exactly do you tell them to make you when you go to staples. How big do you have them blow up the PDF file to be a battlemat sized sheet.
I did make a huge Forgotten Realms map on that plastic banner stuff at Kinko's. I used the PDF from the Wizard's website - I made it 5' by 4'. I goes on the wall when we play.
Thanks...
I'd also like to hear how you got Staples to blow this stuff up, as I am nearing the end of my grid paper pad and my markers are starting to dry up :)
Plus I never do the maps justice when I try to draw them myself on graph paper, having those full colour dungeons and wilderness maps adds so much to the atmosphere of the place.
I know you folks at Paizo are always busy, but any new word on when we can possibly expect some more online supplements for #144 and beyond. I think the last one we got was in January - 5 months ago...

Since we're launching Pathfinder and doing the last issue of Dungeon (which is 32 pages longer than normsl) this month... I wouldn't expect much in the way of online supplements till after the 4th of July.
Me too. Gotta know about the "take it to Staples" bidness.

It is well past 4th of July and I know you guys are slammed, but the time to put this up is coming to a close. Can we get some kind of update on this. Should we not hold out hope at this point? I am just starting STAP with my new group and I do love to be able to print the maps. Any info would be appreciated.

James,
Congratulations on all those awards at GenCon!
When you get back from GenCon, I would appreciate an update on the timing for the Dungeon map .pdf files.
I'm very much looking forward to finishing The Savage Tide, and I will be hoping to print map tiles using the Dungeon .pdf files you will be releasing before the Paizo license expires.
Thank you in advance!

Just got back from Gen Con today; I'm posting this from home and will probably be falling asleep to catch up on the fact that I've had only about 9 hours of it over the last 60, but getting the art/map supplements up to date is a huge priority from me. Hopefully we'll have them all up by the end of the month.
While I'm not in a rush to see the downloads up, I do want to just say that Christopher West's gorgeous Lands of Mystery map would be appreciated as a download, if possible. After you've recovered and can get around to it.

Hiya James et. al.,
I realize this question is six years late, but did supplement #150 ever get released. I'm just now reading Kill Bargle by Jason Bulmahn and feeling nastalgic for The Known Lands, I'd really like a high resolution map for the keep and dungeon in that adventure.I seem to think you finally making through supplement #150, but I cannot recall. Please advise (if you remember). Thanks!

The supplements were released up to Dungeon #147; the license presumably expired before the last three supplements could be added.
