This question isn't getting answered in the Website Feedback thread, but I figure it's probably better asked here anyway: When can we expect the Kickstarter Chronicle?
The Kickstarter page said (and still says) that its estimated delivery is March 2013. So I'd like to assume it's ready and it's just been waiting for the fulfillment system ... but the fulfillment system is live and the Chronicle isn't available for download, so something tells me probably not. ;)
So could we get a rough estimate? And/or can you tell us where it is in development? (Is it in editing, or is it not yet written, something else?)
I'm not asking for a concrete answer, but some idea would be awesome.

If you check out the pledge drive page along the right you'll see:
Will be in your downloads (estimated June 2014)
Pathfinder Flip-Mat: The Emerald Spire 3-Pack PDF
Pathfinder Online: The Emerald Spire Superdungeon (PFRPG) PDF
Pathfinder Society Chronicle: Pathfinder Online Kickstarter Backer PDF
Though if you didn't pledge enough you'll probably only see the last one, or if more you probably see more, but that's what I see.

It says it will be in my downloads by June. Since I contributed in December I would have expected to get it long before that. By the time I get it, I will be out of senarios to play so it really won't matter. Now I know better then to contribute any more money to this.
Next time read the fine print. Estimated delivery has always been March 2013. You can go look at the Kickstarter page if you don't believe me.

Ah. I did not see that. But I'm hoping it's a mistake, because while Emerald Spire was always projected for June 2014, the Chronicle was estimated for March 2013. So if it's going to come out a full 15 months later than originally estimated, I'd hope that someone would at least acknowledge that.

The email I got said June. I'd imagine (and hope) that means next month. But, since I only pledged $5, and even only for the Chronicle, I don't feel I have a right to complain about anything. It's not like I purchased anything, I invested in a startup. Those people that cry foul here on the message boards should feel lucky they're getting anything.

The last thing I saw a dev post was that they were working on the fulfillment system before making the chronicle sheets available. I imagine that since I just got an email about the fulfillment tool, we should be getting them very soon. Has there been any word on what the permanent effects could possibly be?

So I'm an ungrateful peon for asking for an estimated timeline?
Edit: Also, you invested. I don't give a crap about the MMO; I gave money in exchange for promised items. And I am not demanding them with any sense of immediacy, I'm just asking when I'll see them.

You completely missed my point.
That would have been an ideal time to restate it, you realize.
We'll update you when we can. The editorial team has just concluded the push to get all of our Gen Con products to the printer, so we'll have some breathing room to fit in things like the PFS boon soon.
Cool. Thanks.

I think what he's getting at is Kickstarter is an investment site, not a store like Amazon. Everyone, intended or not, is not purchasing anything, they are investing in something and happen to be getting something back. It's not "I'm getting this because I give this much money". You are not a customer, you are an investor. And investors often have to wait a while before they see their investment pay off in any form. It's business.
Did I invest? Yes.
Do I wish I could get my reward? Yes.
Do I wish I had my chronicle sheet back in February or March? Oh yeah!
But I know how Kickstarter works. It take a while... which sucks, because I am not a patient man! Just ask my wife...

So someone just posted on the Kickstarter comments that Paizo customer service has indicated it won't be available until Emerald Spire launches next year, which is in keeping with what the aforementioned pledge drive page indicates. Can you comment on the alleged discrepancy?

This may surprise you, but people on the internet are frequently full of sh%^. If Vic said that they'll get to the boon soon, then they'll get to it soon. Don't let someone's comment steal your cool.

Can you still contribute and get some of this stuff? Is it over? Is there a sorry but no more date???
If you have a friend that pledged, they can increase their pledge to the Crowdforger Buddy, or the Crowdforger Guild levels and give the benefits of those pledge levels to either 1 or 5 other people.
