Mine arrived today too. Really has the old, classic Dragon Magazine (back before it was just TSR products) vibe.

I don't have my print issue yet, but I did get an e-mail this morning saying that I would soon get a coupon code for my free PDF version from DriveThruRPG.

I sent them a really nasty email yesterday and got a very understanding/lengthy email last night explaining that they admit they dropped the ball and there was issues with the printer in Florida from where they are distributed from. They also said they were going to working in a more user friendly site to get on track. Then this morning I got the email for my free PDF on drive through rpg. At least they are listening to us and giving us something for our troubles. I personally would love a t shirt. Just saying.

Dude, it's the first issue of a new magazine. Brief snags are common for such things. Not getting the magazine right away isn't really much of a trouble that requires compensation.

You have your magazine so you got what everyone else wants and paid for just like you did.

And if I still had to wait a few more days, it wouldn't be a big deal. Certainly not worth sending a nasty email or expecting a t-shirt over. It simply doesn't rise to the level of trouble.

I think you missed the point. I never asked them for a t-shirt... i would love one and wear it proudly. I don't want anything beyond my magazine. I'm not the only person that expects a company to live to its commitments in a timely manner, and with the cost involved they really failed there first launch. They did deserve an email stating what the issue was. Here's a recap of events.

1.)ordered magazine subscription; great
2.)magazine order marked as shipped; awesome
3.)3 weeks of shipped goes by and no magazine;concerned no big deal about it, it's brand new. I decide to send an email inquiring my order. Wait there's no customer support from their home page. The only button is store. Click that, still no customer support... Hmmm what's going on here. Hunt/peck around and find a customer support email. Write an email asking the status of my order because 3 weeks of shipping in the US is kinda weird.
4.)days go by... No answer; irritated
5.)decide to try to contact through Facebook. They tell me to contact the same customer support email address I sent to before; getting p/o'd
6.)get a email from TSR asking me rate my order; upset I tell them they don't want my opinion right now and lay out my concerns(this is me being nasty.)
7.)I get an email from them apologizing, alls good for now.
8.)10 hours later TSR apologizes to everyone in email and sends out free pdf downloads on dtrpg.

You have to state your feelings to a company that expects retention and satisfaction so they can appease as many as possible. They are a business that sold a product and failed to deliver as of yet to everyone that preordered it. I understand you have your own opinion about it and good for you that you have your magazine, rock on! Me and large number of people still don't.
