Pretty cool quote. Props to whoever at Paizo thought of asking the Acaeum sages.

It is in the Unsolved Mysteries of D&D article, page 31

In the paragraph regarding what happened to WG1, WG2 & WG3, information on the subject is pulled from "Acaeum (acaeum.com) the premier D&D collector's website"

A nice little plug.

Cheers,
Curt

I went to buy a copy at the local RPG store, hoping at last that it would be somewhat useful.  It didn't have the issue yet, but it had the penultimate one.  And then I saw the price.

8O At $9.95, I'll pass.  I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they jacked the price up even further for the final issue, either. 8O

I glossed over that article since it was old news.

You could have gotten it signed by Mr. Elmore at Gencon...

Made it more worthwhile for me!

I thought about picking up the last issue of Dragon and Dungeon but then though the $23 could be better spend and more enjoyed on a good Thai dinner.

Mmmm, Thai.

Actually, I found the extensive index in the last issue of Dungeon quite useful, I'm sure I'll reference it often.

I just ordered from NobleKnight and got $9.95 as my "discount" price. Is the cover price on this thing really $11?  8O

Man, this better be one hell of an issue. Actually, for $11, it needs to also wash my car or something ...

ELEVEN BUCKS?!?! The hell with washing the car, it better have a life-sized self-lubricating folding pocket pussy. That's just ridiculous.

"Me, too."

$11?!  Damn, no wonder WotC is pimping this new thing of their so hard.  At $10 a month to play D&D it's quite a bargain compared to a Dragon subscription... :roll:

So does anybody know what WOTC did with their current subscriber base?
Did they refund the balance of subscriptions or roll it over into "X" number of months of online subscription.

Last issue of Dragon was #359.  Last issue of Dungeon was #150.

WoTC didnt publish either magazine so they didnt have to do anything for the subscribers.  Paizo was the publisher and I believe that they either refunded the balance or applied it to their new publication Pathfinder depending on what the subscriber preferred.  But you might want to check out their website to be certain.

It is also too bad that Paizo didnt have a chance to collect the Age of Worms adventure path series from Dungeon into a hardback like they did with Shackled City.  And from what I have read it doesnt look like WoTC cares to do anything with it.

Don't know how common this is with subscribers (since I wasn't one), but my ex-wife's boyfriend subscribed to Dungeon...and was only offered credit on BACK ISSUES to fill the balance of his subscription.

If I were the subscriber, I would be REALLY pissed about that...she said he wasn't even offered "credit" towards Pathfinder.

Now that is just poor ... even a junior marketing type would realise that the best way to get the current subscriber hooked on the new online version would be to put the credit towards it.  Thus given the subscriber incentive to use the online version.  Maybe WotC are just running late with the notification?
