Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steel_Wind" data-source="post: 3375833" data-attributes="member: 20741">I subscribed to Dungeon for the purpose of having every AoW magazine and picked up at the newstand every copy of Dragon for the purpose of having the Wormfood articles and a few ecology specials.As it turns out, Dragon's quality increased during this period too - so it was a nice bonus.I am running AoW and have ben for the past 18 months.  For all that, I also laboriously scanned in every bloody module and article, and integrated the online supplementary material too. I use the .pdf for adventure prep on the bus and so forth.(And no: I never posted it and don't bother asking). The part that I find really regrettable about all of this is that if people want the damn issues for free via the other .pdfs that exist  - they are going to get them.So instead of approving a product for sale and at least reap a royalty, they drive the overwhelming majority of those who held off to piracy.Yes - they could backorder the issues via snail mail - although one or two of those are out of print at Paizo as I recall. So a complete physical compilation via back order is not only cost prohibitive - but not possible in any event.I have a difficult time reconciling all of this with logic, but I presume the main issue is that a group playing AoW is not going to be buying the new FR Adv Path - or other adventures, given that the length of the book and ensuing campaign is about to eat up 1-2 years of a gaming group's time.And that the royalty on such a book deal is less than the money to make by publishing a entirely new one under their own label.Oh well. Regrettable - but at least I got mine.</blockquote>
