I have lots of questions, most about Game Mastery modules, and subscription but others about Dungeon. I will ask them all here as Erik, Vic, James and others seem to frequent this board...
Current Situation: I will receive the first two Pathfinder Adventures "free" to fulfill my Dungeon subscription, and as a "Pathfinder Charter Subscriber" I will get the rest as they are published.
Game Mastery:
a) Are the adventures linked together like the Adventure Paths are, or are the standalone? (*please be the latter*)
b) The Game Mastery subscription is for the modules only, right? (ie. not cards, decks, maps, etc).
c) If I subscribe Monday, 2007/07/30, what will the first adventure be that comes with the subscription?
d) Can I order adventures that are "pre-subscription"?
e) Will the Game Mastery modules ship in the same box/carton/envelope as the Pathfinder Adventures, and perhaps save me some money on the shipping costs?
Dungeon:
a) When will the web enhancements (ie the maps) be put up for Dungeon 144 thru 150?
b) Will the final listing of all adventures be downloadable as an excel spreadsheet?

I can answer the questions in the GameMastery section... I'll leave the Dungeon questions to the Dungeon folks.
Game Mastery:
a) Are the adventures linked together like the Adventure Paths are, or are the standalone? (*please be the latter*)
b) The Game Mastery subscription is for the modules only, right? (ie. not cards, decks, maps, etc).

e) Will the Game Mastery modules ship in the same box/carton/envelope as the Pathfinder Adventures, and perhaps save me some money on the shipping costs?
a) They're standalone, though some of them can be easily connected. (For example, D0 works well as a prelude to D1, and some future modules will also be set in the same location as those two.)
b) The GameMastery Modules subscription is just for the modules.
c) Well, up until Monday, a new Module subscription will start with D1 (unless you've already purchased D1 from us, in which case it will start with G1). However, G1 should be arriving Monday, and once we check it into our system, subscriptions taken from then on will begin with G1 (unless you've already ordered G1 from us, in which case it will start with D2).
d) Sure! Just add them to your cart and check out. (You won't get the subscription benefit of the free PDF version of volumes that aren't in your subscription, though.)
e) By the time Pathfinder 1 and Module D2 ship next month, we plan to allow you to combine your subscriptions into the same package.

Vic,
Sold !! You answered the 2 most important questions "correctly". I just subscribed to the GameMastery modules, and ordered 1 copy of D0.
Thanks!!!

Dungeon:
a) When will the web enhancements (ie the maps) be put up for Dungeon 144 thru 150?
b) Will the final listing of all adventures be downloadable as an excel spreadsheet?
a) I'd suspect that the remainder of the Dungeon art/map supplements will start popping up online throughout August. Getting those caught up is one of my top priorities for August, in any event.
b) Nope. The index of adventures that appears in #150 in all likelihood will not be posted as an excel spreadsheet.

James,
Thanks for the answers. I suspect that one of my "hobby" projects for September will be putting the data into a spreadsheet for myself.

Not only do I need to change G and W, but I need to change Monday to "Wednesday or Thursday." So:

However, W1 should be arriving soon, and once we check it into our system, subscriptions taken from then on will begin with W1 (unless you've already ordered W1 from us, in which case it will start with D2).
