[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6306354, member: 7006"] I would imagine that if they keep the two magazines active... they would follow in the footsteps of the Basic game-- PDF only so far as WotC's efforts are concerned. While there probably is a segment of the population that would like the Basic game and Dungeon and Dragon mags in printed form... the costs on [I]WotC's[/I] end to have those made would probably not justify doing it. When you have absolutely no idea how many people would actually buy a printed product of something they can download and print themselves for free... its not something I'd expect them to dangle their feet into. That being said... I would not be surprised in the least if Wizards formulated a licensing agreement with a Print On Demand service (the same way they have an agreement with DriveThruRPG to be their PDF sales service). A company that would be their official representatives to print, bind and ship Basic games and the two magazines to those who want them. WotC has never wanted to be their own retailer and shipper (which is why they use DriveThruRPG), and I'd expect this situation to match that. [/QUOTE]
