If I know that one of my entries is being published am I allowed to mention it on the forums, or should that remain a secret until the actual issue is released?

For all art and articles, we prefer that authors and artists refrain from posting about their work until we get up to release in May for PaizoCon.
About a week out from the release, we green light the artists to post their artwork for the issue. Likewise, I usually post the Table of Contents page to preview what's coming.
For authors, I'd like you to wait to launch into a discussion about your article until release day. I'm fine with you mentioning that you have an article in Wayfinder 22 that is about X, Y, or Z, in very general terms, but posting details of it sort of ruins the point of having in the issue, you know?
If you can sit on it until release day, and keep it a secret, I'd appreciate it. I can say that the reveal is quite a bit more gratifying, IMO.
You've got it. Thanks for the response. I will continue to work on the expanded version of my article quietly then.

If you are doing that, keep in mind you retain the rights to your work. I would expect perhaps prepping that expanded version for Infinite. Once the issue comes out, you can be in a good position to point folks towards the expanded version....for a paltry sum, of course.
Just my 2 cents.....

Heya any updates as far as how things are going?
Not sure, but I am guessing that the next issue is going to end up being Mwangi, Impossible Lands, or back to Starfinder.

I'd more meant just maybe to see where things are as far as getting everything published - you're probably right about that though (my vote is Mwangi, Starfinder would be cool too though!)

Yep, time for an update.
Unfortunately, life, work, and COVID have derailed our schedule. We won't be able to release for PaizoCon as usual. This all has pushed back the release date until late June.
We have all the pieces, it just comes down to getting derailed by life.
Disappointing? Hell, yes. But, I can assure you that this issue will be wonderful when we finish.
The sneak peek of the Side Trek Adventure will still occur for PaizoCon, though. "Red Fields" is offered in person, and online by the authors, so look for that on Warhorn.

Life happens. It will still be grand when it's available!

As somebody who is also suffering from COVID, I definitely get it. Take care of yourself, Tim! Thanks for all you do.
Indeed. Would love an update.

From their Facebook page:
"Just an update, since we said we were aiming to get Wayfinder 22 out by the end of June....
Life, work, and COVID all indicated that June was not a month to make headway. We'll aim for end of July (fingers crossed) now, and see how this month treats us.
Stay tuned."
Thanks!
So how's things coming along with Wayfinder 22?
Too long from mobile.Here's a great fan made map of Kortos if anyone wants a nice reference
*linkfied*
That's a beautiful map, but... no roads. I've been trying to figure out how far the main Diobel-Absalom road is from Otari. I guess it follows whatever river that is from the headwaters to Diobel, and going east from the headwaters down towards Otari and then there's a road that goes east on the Otari map. Oh wait, that road is marked "to farmlands" (and there are farmlands west of Absalom on this Kortos map) while the road going NNE out of Otari is marked "to Absalom". Hm.
I wonder what other roads there are on Kortos. And which ones, if any, are paved. :-)
Hm. #22. I may be behind on purchases. Off to check.
Not to be that guy but are there any further updates on this? Even just an announcement that the issue is cancelled (provided that's the case) would be appreciated.
le sigh.

So, no this issue is not cancelled. We have all the pieces, but the person that does layout has a lot of life stuff going on, and hasn't had the kind of time we normally have to work on the issue. Hence the delays.
We've had several folks kindly offer their assistance, but we've done that in the past, and it just didn't work out well. People do layout in different ways, and it can cause...issues.
I cannot say WHEN the issue will be done and released, because that's dependent on life stuff and available time. It WILL be completed though. My guess is probably late October/early November, but that's just what it is...a guess. Heck, I thought we could bang it out over the summer, but it hasn't turned out that way.
I want to stress that I, more than anyone else, want to get this issue out. I'm proud of the articles, the art, and the editing that has been done. And I know that it will look awesome when we slap it all together.
I will definitely post here when we have some progress, though.
For what it's worth, considering this is totally free, I personally don't mind how long it takes to get the next Wayfinder out.
Besides which, Timitius has already made it clear that getting it published is very important to them. Pushing the button again and again isn't gonna make the elevator doors close any faster. :P

Hey folks. I've been quiet on this mainly because I haven't had much to share. We've had a delay in layout (life priorities over Wayfinder). The issue is now in layout, and I hope to have a draft in the next few weeks. When that happens, we'll do our proofing round, and then we will finalize.
So we are getting there, but I'm not gonna be to be able to give dates yet. I remain optimistic, though!
It is probably pretty obvious now that we aren't going to have a 2023 open call or issue. In fact, it's overdue to let everyone know that this will be our final issue.
There are a lot of reasons as to why, but mainly we felt it was time, and the establishment of the Pathfinder Infinite program was the logical successor for our mission. Infinite provides fans a way to create their own content and even better, to sell it, something Wayfinder couldn't do. It's a great initiative, and one that I'm happy will continue Wayfinder's mission to promote new freelancers and fan-created content.
So, stay tuned. I'll give Wayfinder #22 updates when I have them.
Oh, wow. Congratulations, Timitius. This magazine had an amazing run, and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it, even in an infinitesimally small way. It's incredible what a few Paizo fans managed to do together, putting a virtual roof over the heads of the creations of small new creators and seasoned freelancers alike. I'm so excited for this final issue.

I'll give you three months to get something up on Infinite or you're fired.

Hey, if it's done by then, I'll buy it and review it in an official capacity.
My official capacity is 15 pounds for a light load.

Wayfinder walked not only so Infinite could run, but tons of budding freelancers too! I still look back fondly on my space goblin faith article, and remember it was oneof the pieces that got me my first Paizo gig.
Thanks for the memories, Tim, you've done good. So has the whole damn Wayfinder crew! It was a nice and cozy cornerstone of the community that helped shape how it is today.
Damn! I haven't felt that sad about a game thing since Dungeon and Dragon closed their printed doors.
Thanks for all the hard work, Tim and company!

Wayfinder got me my start in TTRPG writing; my first published TTRPG credits were a couple articles in Wayfinder #14. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that I wouldn't have the freelance career I do without Wayfinder, so while I totally understand the decision, I'm bummed at the end of an era. I've loved working on the Wayfinders I've been involved in, both as a writer and editor.
Thanks for all your hard work over the years, Tim, and for giving me and so many other freelancers their start. You really have changed people's lives and shaped this community into what it is today, and I wish you the absolute best.

Hey all,
Thanks for all the kind words. It is good to know that Wayfinder had an impact on the Paizo community, and contributed to the recruitment of fine, talented freelancers (who occasionally become Paizo employees!).
Is the final issue still coming? Yes, we still plan on releasing it. I'm not going to commit to a date, though. I'm looking at a very busy summer for field work, so we will see how things go.

Just came across this. I’m not sure I can adequately convey the respect I have for the many good folk who have brought this fanzine to life for its many iterations. The effort involved is gargantuan, and although I am saddened to hear this is the last, I completely understand, appreciate and empathise. Thank you to Tim and the team for all the great adventurousness. And Paizocon. Mustn’t forget that.

Wayfinder #22 is now available for download!
Go get it!
Oh my gosh, the art and writing for the Urban Druid Order is fantastic! I was scanning through and noticed the wonderful pigeon man. I'm so excited to look through this whole issue. Happy trails, all.
