[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4592345, member: 14197"] First, glad you are sleeping better. :) Second, I want to clarify that I wasn't comparing print vs. PDF, but simply trying to spell out that managing and editing an online publication is not trivial and isn't something that comes easy. One of the responsibilities of the web dev company I was partnered in was to take a print publication and take it online, back in 1998 when the online magazine and content management systems were still fairly immature. We got bloated Quark files and were asked to (mostly) mirror their "feel" in the web format, utilizing what, these days, are atypical CMS funtions. It wasn't easy, for sure, since we had to launch the online issue the same week that the print issue was sent to the printer. Not trivial either. Especially in 1999. With a shoestring budget. Also, thanks for clearing up what Paizo's responsibilities were like at the time you were taking on Dungeon and Dragon for the first year. I didn't realize you were that involved in the Star Wars stuff. Very cool. Also the Amazing Stories publication. Did you guys have that first? Anywhoo.... my rant was more targeted at the "Their just PDF's, they must be easy!" attitude. [/QUOTE]
