Specific designs don't matter too much, but we've got details of who's in the first class suites and second class rooms, so if you have different sized rooms it could muck with the NPC distribution.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
To be honest, I'll probably use the maps provided for everything other than a fight, at which point all we need is something roughly representative. I'll have to wait until I get a look at the full adventure to be 100% happy with this plan. Do you guys still anticipate an April release date?

I'm still going to shoot for getting out by the end of this month, but that would be tight. I'm still waiting to receive the final version of the author's text to go into editing.

That's disappointing. And ironic, considering the title of the adventure.
Are we two assume that the adventure path will now run two months behind schedule? Or will it take an extra month to produce each installment? (Leading to the path over-running by almost a year.)
Might an ardent fan and customer request a more accurate release schedule, please? It really is quite important!

The original plan was to start layout on the 16th. Since I do not have the full text available to edit quite yet (it should be coming soon, though), I will make sure that I've gotten all of the additional material possible written so I can get to editing right away.
Thurston is writing adventure 5. I will see him at GenCon, and so he is motivated by a desire to earn free alcohol. I expect the text will be perfectly punctual, only for us to discover that the internet has raptured itself to Lolcat heaven, forcing us to collaborate via traditional stamp-and-post.
One benefit of having different authors work on different adventures is that if we fall a bit behind, the next person should be able to keep us on schedule. I expect to maintain the current planned schedule. 4 in April (maaaybe early May), 5 in July, 6 in October, etc.

Many thanks for the prompt and detailed reply. I hope you can sympathise with my anxiety and forgive any apparent impatience: I have 7 players whose loyalty and commitment I will struggle to repay if the AP falls too far behind schedule. I just don't have the time to create rewarding and complex adventures these days! And the main campaign sets such a high standard that my buffer adventures pale by comparison.

We are behind schedule. I can only apologize and get back to work, because I am the bottleneck here.

I was hoping this might be some good news!
By 'schedule' I'm assuming you mean the most recent estimate that said maybe early May? Does that mean we will now be seeing adventure 4 in mid to late May?
How far behind schedule, exactly?
