Perhaps I am either blind, stupid or both but I cannot find the web enhancements for these magazines anywhere on the site. I want to get the ones for the issues I own but I can't seem to find them. I've looked through the store and performed searches but I'm still not getting anything.
With Wizards of the Coast taking control have the extras been taken down? I found a thread that said that content wouldn't be removed but that was from back in May.
Can someone help me with this?
Try clicking on Dungeon over to the left. Scroll down to resources and look in there. I'm eyeballing it, waiting for the last few enhancements. Hope that helps!
DUNGEON Web Enhancements are at this link.
The very limited DRAGON Web Enhancements are at this other link.
Precisely what I was looking for, thank you.
Are there, by any chance, Pathfinder we enhancements? Or am I just blind?

Are there, by any chance, Pathfinder we enhancements? Or am I just blind?No ... Pathfinder subscribers get a free download of the PDF version of the entire print book, and there for have no need of the Art/Map WE that was produced for the magazines.

I disagree that there is no need for this type of product - the maps that come in the PDF are the same that are in the printed product and therefore display important information that the players should not see. I see on the Pathfinder Blog they are going to release a Map Pack for Rise of the Runelords. Also there are already "web enhancements" for pathfinder. Again this is in the Blog and also mentioned in Pathfinder #5. The download can be retrieved here

The only real web enhancement we've released for Pathfinder so far is the "More Magic of Thassilon" PDF that goes along with Pathfinder #5. You can access this PDF from our blog. It'd be nice to get a link to the web enhancement hooked into the Pathfinder #5 page in the store; I'll try to remember to ask our web guy to do that the next time I see him.
That said... I doubt very much that you'll see regular web enhancements for Pathfinder. They're cool, sure... but they're a lot of extra work for us. The only time we save doing them is printing time, and since we don't print the books here at Paizo, that's actually NO time saved for us. We DO have to take time to develop, edit, and lay out web enhancements though... I'm not interested in web enhancements that don't cleave to the same level of professionalism we strive for in our printed products, really.

I for one am sad to hear that. I understand it is a lot of work, and frankly losing the web enhancements is a small price to pay for such continued quality, but after using the web enhancements to create handouts and such for my players in my Savage Tide campaign, I will really miss it when we start Runelords. I'm sure I will be able to get a lot of mileage out of the .PDF files I get with the subscription, but I like having the art separate from the text and the maps with the symbols pulled.
I guess I just want to be able to have my cake and eat it too....
Thanks for the answers, especially James. I understand they are a lot of extra work so feel no need to have WE for Pathfinder. I just occasionally heard rumors of such things (being plural) and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
That said, from the editing process, it looks like a fair chunk gets edited out for each issue. The completist dork in me thins it would be nice occasionally to see what was cut, kind of like "DVD extras", but I am happy with things as they are. Thanks again.
Although I have no idea if they have since re-surfaced in their PF version somewhere.
