AP Schedule normalization

[TerraNova]

I just noticed you pushed back Skull and Shackles 1 to April. While I am no businessmen, and have no idea about the intricacies of the publishing business, isn't that a very bad sign for the AP? After all, it has to be finished by GenCon for the next "blockbuster", unless I am mistaken.

How is this even longer holdup going to affect it? Are you going to cut an installment? Is it going to be more rough-run on the development? Are you foregoing a gencon release for Shattered Star, and catch up over a longer period?

Not trying to spread blame or panic here, I'm just curious on how this is going to all balance out.

Well on my upcoming AP sub list, they are going to ship out part 1 and 2 of skull and shackles at same time. This should put them back on track. I know they had a major printing issue with a jade regent part.

GenCon is in August - so they would need to ship Skull & Shackles 6 by Juli. Getting S&S 1 and 2 out in April would mean squeezing 3, 4 and 5 into May and June. Rough, but might be manageable.

I read about the printing woes, and understand the delays are not their fault - merely a bit puzzled on how paizo plans to go forward

Vic has said elseware that august will most likly be skull and shackles 6 and shattered star 1

You have a full explanation here.

So all in all it's looking like a good time to subscribe for us instant gratification types?

Cool. I've got players dying to be pirates.

By working extra EXTRA hard and taking some evasive maneuvers.

Which is much appreciated. This AP will rock!
