If only there was some sort of thread, maybe something Stickied at the top of the Forum, preferably created by a Paizo employee, where questions and comments about the Additional Resources document could be asked and discussed...
i think they've asked "are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? Mom she's poking me!" not to go there...

Actually questions regarding the publication of new additional resources are deleted from that thread...

Every time this question is asked, the countdown resets.
Not really. Please be patient, our Paizo overlords are working hard to bring us awesome new PFS content.
Actually, of last report they were taking a hard and well-earned vacation during the only time of the year they have a chance to take 'down-time', and patience was requested while that was in progress.

I mean, I'm just as impatient as anyone else. I'm waiting to see if one of my characters that's been shelved for nearly 2 years can possibly come out of retirement again.

Eh, I'm back to work so I probably wrongly assumed that everyone else was too.
This time will be the final countdown.Every time this question is asked, the countdown resets.

One of the biggest barriers in getting Additional Resources updated is getting the team together to discuss publications and what is right for inclusion in our Organized Play programs. The holidays play havoc with scheduling, but now that things are a bit settled, we hope to have an update soon.

I try to be patient, but with the very interesting stuff in the books I already bought (Paths of the Righteous, Blood of the Beast), the ones I might yet buy, and the holiday discount which I haven't used yet, you can bet I'm checking several times a day to see if the AR have been updated yet.

(And FAQs, and errata.)
To make it easy to keep up to date whenever any of them change? Yeah, that would be a nice feature!

On our end, there are a few options that kind of let us fake this...

♪ Can you hear the people sing
Of additional resources
It's the music of the players
Who want to build our deadly forces!
When the typing of our pleas
Echo through the forums
We want to build our cheese
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade
As we steadfastly hit ctrl-z?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
There's a feat you'd like to see
Then join in this song
It's where we belong

So that Optionmas may advance
Some feats will fall and some will live

The "Blood of" whatever
Will make Pathfinders dance!

Hmm i think we're going to have to enforce some outdoor time for you :p
Yesterday, I was down with the flu. Sometimes, my best filks come when my brain is fevered or otherwise out of commission. But yes, I want some outdoor time. Fortunately, Minnesota is finally warming up again!
You do realize, don't you, that outdoor time won't stop the filks? Half of mine seem to compose themselves when I go biking or jogging. When my brain goes romping off-leash, I find it best usually to just let it go and do its thing so I can get back on track again.
Hmm

Thats why you need more outdoor time! I need more of your amazing filks

I'm YEARNING for an update to the Additional Resources; I want to make my first kitsune character for PFS, and I'm thinking about making one with the alternative racial trait "Keen Kitsune" from Blood of the Beast, but I need it to be legal before I do it!

Don't worry.. someday your book (might) come in. March perhaps?
(I'm in the same boat for other boots.. paths of righteousness mostly)

I know that feat
You played with it once upon a dream
I know that archtype
That look in a player's eyes so familiar a gleam
And I know that Additional Resources are seldom what they seem
But if I know you, and I know what you'll do
If they legalize it, the way you built it once upon a dream.

I can't help but repeat all of my sentiments in THIS thread. I'm not going to repeat them, but here's a link.

I've been patient as well but I would like to also express that it has been almost 3 months since the last update, the sale is ending next week and I would like the chance to buy paizo products. I realize there were holidays but I can't help but feel this process needs revision. The wait between product release and legalization is far too long. In other games I would actually expect the release and legalization to be simultaneous. Comparatively the timeline for Pathfinder is quite generous but this is a bit too much.
Putting this all on the holidays doesn't really alleviate concerns either. It just makes me more concerned it will happen next year too.

PFS legality is my biggest decision for purchase. I like to buy cool things that PFS allows, thinking that one day I'll use it in there. But if there's not much PFS legal in it that's cool then I wont get it.
Like right now path's of righteousness. A lot of the prestige classes and feats seem cool and interesting. Prestigious spellcaster is a game changer for PrC. But no clue if it'll be legal so I'm holding off getting excited about it, while a friend has now mapped out like 2 PFS characters using PrC from the book and planning on using this feat. If it's not legalized then some of he recent choices aren't so good.
And this sale really does make us buyers want clarification sooner to take advantage of the sale.

I'm detecting an animal-head theme in the avatars in this topic...
It's the blood of the beasts
critter options are increasedStand clear, Don't think fox could talk?
You can't stand how i stand you can't walk how i walk
Watch out! We're the new orcs
Aspis men come, they find a bite worse than my bark
I know this for a fact you don't like us in packs
claim non HEDGEHOGS are whack
Old core races are flat
I'd rather say "caw caw"
cause I would never be ya
Be a hedgehog? Nah I couldn't be freer

I'm dead serious, if Paizo needs someone to review books and help approve content for PFS, hire me. The 3+ month delay is causing serious problems for players/customers. We have SEVERAL books we can't decide whether to buy because no information is forthcoming on whether the books are of incredible worth or completely unusable in what is for some players their only Pathfinder outlet.

They have venture critters doing that already.

If I understand, their issue isn't manpower, it's scheduling. They apparently need everyone to physically be in one place at the same time to decide these things, same as FAQs.
You manage to pull Tonya for a CON? No meeting that week. Next week John goes to a CON, no meeting. Week after it's thanksgiving, no meeting. Then someone is sick, out for a birthday, can't get to work because of weather. No meeting.
Then when there is a meeting, it's about priority. Since we haven't met for a month we need to discuss X... and get decision on those, if time is left over then we can get to additional resources.

These are considerations, yes, and in any creative working environment they do exist and deserve their fair weight.
Unfortunately, if the vetting process costs sales, then it reduces the resources that a given company has to increase sales, and if it is done too late, will either kill support for a product/product line or severely curtail it.
If the vetting process has been 'farmed out' to Venture folks, that could cause one of two things to happen... A. Much like the regular forums a few items have probably descended into battle lines of opposing schools of thought OR B. Much like the PDT, the ability to coordinate an even GREATER number of people is leading to even more gridlock.

Assuming there's VO's and PFS leadership I say that the VO's look and email their thoughts to the PFSL, Or have a private thread that they post their thoughts. Then PFSL are able to discuss with VO's if they want clarification on something about their view or why they have it. Then PFSL can talk or email about what they think should be legal. But this involves the PFSL to do work outside of the hour long AR meeting, which might be something they don't really have time for.
