I only work on D&Di when an assignment or a deadline pops up. I have heard some discussion on the subject, but probably no more than 1% of the total discussion there has been on the subject. I am by no means an expert on the particulars. I was committing on speculation I knew was false. I know this is the Internet, and there’s this idea that, “well if I can think it, you can do it.” It's not that simple. The D&Di team has a lot of things they could do (and must do) on their plate, and they have to figure out where to put priorities. Preparing those images, creating the logistic pipelines to make sure they are prepared, go up, and are useful every month take some amount of time and manpower. There is only so much time and manpower the D&Di team has and they have to prioritize wisely, which I’m always amazed at what a good job they do with this. After all, they still work on two magazine and a web site every month (including the pod cast), they still have the Rule Compendium to update and tweak, respond to the information from the update team for both the Rules Compendium and the Character Builder...oh, and there is the Character Builder, which isn't done (beta) and even when it is, will need constant updating. Then there is the stuff that's coming down the pike.Then there is the question how many subscribers they serve with a project or expansion of a project. It’s always better to put more resources into areas that please more subscribers. While there are some very vocal advocates of full size maps, in the great clambering of subscriber wants, it’s pretty low on the list. That all sir, (excuse my snark) is WTF the holdup is.</blockquote>
