[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3588466, member: 18280"] I certainly understand that WotC doesn't want to reduce the competitive effect of the Dragon and Dungeon [i]brands[/i], but that isn't the same thing as not wanting to reduce the competitive effect of those brands [i]under the aegis of another publisher[/i]. That Paizo isn't coming out with another [i]magazine[/i] at this time, and that Paizo is very clear that [i]Pathfinder isn't a magazine[/i], I think that there is reasonable grounds to believe that competitive effect, while perhaps not the biggest factor, is certainly factored into the equation. While I am not a big fan of Adventure Paths, I will have to say that, as a store owner, the AP format seemed to be increasing sales (and online discussion) of Dungeon at the very least. The success of Shackled City (and where is that Age of Worms hardcover, anyway?) seems to point to factors other than simply broadening the roles of the brands. IMHO, at least. RC EDIT: The fact that I still can't order WotC materials from Diamond Comics Distributers through the Previews catalogue because I'm in Canada, btw, has seriously limited both my willingness and interest in selling D&D products outside of special orders and preorders. You need to do something about that. [/QUOTE]
