Anyone have an update on Archives of Nethys? Last post there was 2016-08-07, and it's been over a month since then. Never mind the lack of updates of Pathfinder material -- the silence of everything there is getting worrisome.
He got Arcane Anthology in since that post, then gave an optimistic status update on Facebook on 8/31 indicating that some people were helping him with the Player Companion line. I have seen no updates since then.
Arcane Anthology is not entirely in yet. Archetypes are missing.
That would explain why the Facebook post still had it on the "to do" list.

Hey guys! Figured it'd be best for me to answer this, since it's my site after all :)
SO, long story time. Back in February I was out of work, and after 32 years of poor posture and favoring one side, it finally started presenting in a lot of pain. The best way I can describe the worst instances of it is to imagine being stabbed by a hot copper wire through your left butt. In lesser cases, it's more like an annoying stabbing feeling. Only when sitting, which is when I do all of my site work (and no, I don't have the ability to have a standing desk at my home office yet).
Doctors later identified it as sciatica and put me on Oxycodone (a strong and addictive pain killer that I'm still on, unfortunately) and Gabapentin. The latter is where I put most of the blame for my absence on.
I'll be frank, I didn't do a lot of work on the site back in Jan-March because I was out of work and finding a new job was my primary focus. After that, well... prescription drugs suck.
Gabapentin makes me tired all the time. They warned me of the effects, and how bad the withdrawal is (I missed a day once... never again), but I had no clue how much it would really change the way I went about day to day. My motivation plummeted, I had a hard time just posting on a couple online games I ran, it was all I could do to get to work every day and put in my best effort. By the time I went home, all I wanted to do was not think for a while.
Fortunately, there are some positives. I've finally started on with a chiropractor (should have been the first thing, but doctors wanted me to see specialists and try physical therapy first, which did little) and last week I went through the painful process of reducing my gabapentin prescription from 900mg down to 600mg. For those who have ever gone through that before, you have my sympathies. This has had the very welcome effect of not being nearly as tired during the day anymore.
Additionally, I've had great fortune in finding a few people that can help. I have been having them input data in my offline SQL database (staging) and we're already a few books in! They're waiting on me to verify that the material looks correct before I make it live, but I'm hoping that I have enough energy in the next week to finally focus on that.
Thanks to everyone who's been worried or checking the sites, I know it's the longest I've gone without major updates. I appreciate all the warm wishes and offers of help. I promise that not a day goes by where I don't think about the site and wish I had more time and energy to focus on it. With the chiropractor and slowing down my gabapentin, I am optimistic about the future and cannot wait for the day when I can tell you guys that everything is up to date once again.
Good to know you're still around. And I am rooting for you to get off ALL the medications so that you can get your life back. The chiropractic care sounds like it is a lot better.
Now that it has been over 3 months since last checking in, any update?
Bump?
Anyone still around?
They've added Horror Adventures (at least the witch archetype), so they're still updating. Not sure why the front page isn't being updated.
Okay, I'll have to check it out.
I find weird omissions on www.d20pfsrd.com also -- for instance, they have a lot of stuff from the Armor Master's Handbook and even later books all the way up to Paths of the Righteous, but apparently not the Armor Mastery Feats. Also started getting frequent "page view count exceeded" messages on there, so I guess they haven't found a new hosting service yet.
It is important to have at least 2 resources like this, so I want to see Archives of Nethys continue as well.
Sorry for the necro, but I'm kind of curious as well. His last post here was in September, but his last Reddit post was like a month ago for an unrelated thing. He hasn't actually updated any PF setting material since five months ago.

I was a little desperate, then today I saw that he's working on UI and PotR! He just didn't put the pages in the indexes yet. Maybe we can expect a mega-update as soon as he has finished.

^I found something or other on Archives of Nethys that was updated recently (forgot what it was), but we haven't actually heard of any update announcement, so I don't know whether things are going better for him.
To the top!
My thing is that I feel bad for his Patrons on Patreon who are donating to him and getting literally nothing for it because not only has he not updated in nearly seven months, his last actual news post was in about as long. If he can't continue working on AoN due to his health, maybe he should pass it off to someone who can?

Actually, he has been updating stuff before the Wednesday post, just not saying anything about it on the home page until Wednesday. Checking Archives of Nethys for random recent things, I could find a subset of them on there but not on www.d20pfsrd.com (which has its own problems updating stuff properly), and vice versa.

Yass! Glad you are back. I actually stumbled across your beta site and was like 'wow okay this is a lot of stuff...' figured it would be pushed to the live site soon, as I was right. :) One small thing though, while the page itself is fine, the antipaladin Tyrant is mispelled as Tyrent on the archetypes list LOL minor thing but thought I'd mention it while I was here :)

Consider it fixed! Thanks :D
Time to ask again: Anyone have an update on Archives of Nethys? Last post there was 2017-09-20, and it's been over a month since then. Never mind the lack of updates of Pathfinder material -- the silence of everything there is getting worrisome.

You mean almost THREE months, right?
Yes, over three months is over a month, although you're right, I forgot to change this when I copied and pasted part of my old message. Dain bramage . . . .
(Bump?)

His Facebook account says he's "a bit behind", yeah, but at least the site is not dead yet.

Linkified. Thanks for the info.
He actually made a post today.
I assume you mean the Christmas Day Facebook post again, because I couldn't find a new post on the web site itself or on either of his 2 aliases here.
