Good evening guys.

I am not sure if this is the right way of raising it, but I couldn't find a specific statement regarding this issue on the webpages, so I thought I should just ask!

I note that you print your Adventure Paths in China. That is fine and I respect your need to seek competitive prices and professional services that meet your needs. However, I am also aware that a lot of Chinese companies are very price driven and are less than discerning when it comes to sourcing the wood pulp that goes into their paper.

I am wondering if you could clarify:
- Where the paper and card stock in your products come from?
- How have you assured yourself that the wood pulp in this paper comes from sustainable and legal sources?
- Whether you have looked at sourcing certified paper sources to include in your printed materials (eg Forest Stewardship Council or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification certified timber sources).

I wouldn't normally raise such issues, but as a long term subscriber of Adventure Paths (right from the 1st release) and Dungeon magazine before that, I just want to understand what steps you are taking to ensure your paper is coming from sustainable and legal sources.

Appreciate all the wonderful work you guys do.

Any chance I could get a reply or even a point in the right direction on this issue?

Sorry - realise this might have disappeared into the forums!


The offices being closed hasn't helped any. XD If you still don't get a response, consider emailing them - that usually gets seen.


I think it's a good question, and I'd be curious about the answer.
