[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3475251, member: 13703"] I tried hard to not make it sound like I don't like the product. Obviously I didn't do a good enough job. I am just worried and concerned that all of Paizo's hard work over the last 5 years will be for nothing if they can't create a long-term replacement for the hole left by Dragon and Dungeon's departure. I figured if I put my concerns out there other posters might be able to come up with some solutions for them that I hadn't thought of. I'm trying to help Paizo more than anything. I know that they're not idiots and have a much better knowledge of the publishing trade than I do but it just seems like their current model for [I]Pathfinder[/I] may be more than the RPG can handle at the moment. Personally I think that putting ads into the Pathfinder books a good way to reduce the cost per issue and make it appeal to more people. However, Paizo have marketed this as a book, not a magazine. Reading between the lines of posts on the Paizo boards, for one reason or another, Paizo can't (or don't) want to produce this as a magazine. Since it is being marketed as a book, attracting advertising may be a little more difficult since you need to be able to advertise products that won't date as qiuckly as products that are advertised in a magazine.
